So I had no idea Gamers Nexus was going to post a video on this topic an hour after I uploaded this video. Definitely worth a watch. I thought I was a bit crazy spending $13 on a case that there was a good chance it wouldn't be returned but the Ally was a pretty big dollar investment and I didn't want any chance of it getting damaged during shipping to Asus. Well, seems like I wasn't so crazy after all and probably was a smart thing to do. Anyways, I guess I got pretty lucky with my experience which went quick and smooth. Good luck to anybody else having to do the same. kzread.info/dash/bejne/aaSB1NWsedWxk7w.htmlsi=fOuQ2RQPouZoZPYB

I dont think your testing method is accurate enough to test the absolute latency. You would have a much easier time to just test the relative latency by record a slow motion video of your Host and Client screen simultanously. Then you could for example press pause in a game and count the frames from "menu opens in host" to "menu opens in client" and multiply with recording video frame time (in your case 4.16ms). That gives you the relative latency.
