See it happening is very different from noticing lag. Here's a gif I like to reference when trying to determine how noticeable a lag spike is in milliseconds. For me it become unnoticeable at a 30ms lag spike. But 100ms is very plainly obvious.

Edit: Also, movies are typically filmed at 24FPS which is around 41ms per frame. There's something called the "Soap Opera Effect" which is when you're watching an older movie on a newer TV that automatically interpolates frames and boosts it to 120FPS (8.3ms per frame). People have noticed this effect so much that it has its own term coined after it, the soap opera effect. That's a 32ms difference, and people may not immediately be able to tell what's wrong, but they know something is off

- nicoburns 4y agoFor me it's noticeable down to around 20ms, although of course it becomes less noticeable the lower you go. Surely the existence of high FPS screens is clear evidence that humans can see latency spikes? 60 FPS is ~16ms. 120 FPS is ~8ms.
