The chart separately identifies On Display Lag, USB Polling Delay, Render Time and Total Input Lag. The stored figure is On Display Lag, including display response, excluding the host polling/render pipeline. Local dimming enabled measures 14.28 ms in the same review and is not mixed into this run. Tom's Hardware LDAT 15.9 ms end-to-end mouse/software result is excluded. The review does not state OSRTT software version or latency calibration procedure. The stored value is explicitly labelled display-only by the reviewer and current chart. Its isolation algorithm was not independently verified. Legacy OSRTT total-system documentation is not treated as defining this separately labelled result.11Maker product pagegithub.com/OSRTT/OSLTTDocs/blob/main/index.mdRead 8 October 2026Current tool maintainer documentation lists On Display Latency separately from total system click-to-photon latency and states the custom DirectX test is the same as OSRTT. This supports interpreting the current review's separately labelled On Display Lag rather than its Total Input Lag column. The exact reviewed software version, calibration and isolation implementation remain unknown.

The same chart labels overshoot as raw RGB error with mean 0.93 and worst 6, while review prose appends a percent sign to 0.93.
