Good G-Sync or FreeSync gaming monitors can get down to low single digit millisecond numbers, but the typical 60Hz non-gaming monitor or laptop display will be more in the 8ms-15ms range.

Example: https://www.rtings.com/monitor/tests/inputs/input-lag (Scroll down to the non-gaming monitors)

The gray-to-gray response time for the physical pixels is in the neighborhood of 2-4ms, so the additional latency comes from the processing.

That's not input processing.
