You will have latency due to network effects. Streaming video/images is always going to be slower than streaming just coordinates and player metadata.

The parent was talking about LCD vs CRT displays. The parent is confusing throughput (240 frames/second) with latency.

It's not throughput if the 240 refreshes per second are evenly-spaced apart in time. It's a polling rate and it absolutely effects responsiveness.
