Tuf "GAMING" monitor with 5ms and 60hz? Honestly, I would take 1080p 144hz anyday Over 4k 60hz. More pixels do not offer me better immersion than rotating the câmera at high fps/hz

60 Hz and gaming ? Maybe for chess or poker

It's fine. I have both 144Hz (170Hz) and 60Hz... yes difference is big, but I can play easily on 60Hz aswell. I talk about fast game like Overwatch. I'm on both good. Skill is skill.

Don't get the HDR10, they literally state: "350 cd/m² maximum brightness". It's more like HDR400.

You need at least 400 cd/m2 for HDR400. 350 is literally nothing.

60Hz? Gaming monitor? What a joke!

Releasing a 60Hz screen with the TUF Gaming brand is a very bad idea.

I guess not everyone is into more than 60Hz. Many people just care for stable 60FPS.

It's more than budget solution.
