Nearly perfect. It does seem to be like 5-6 seconds off, when my average latency is 2 seconds. I don't know if it can be improved, but within 2-3s would be just about perfect.

It can be very colorful, but settings are easy to adjust! Best way to warn about ads! (Stupid twitch forcing me to play them)
