Completely wrong. Va is a million times better than TN in regard to viewing angles.

I would say it would, as every movement in the screen becomes significantly smoother but people often prioritize resolution or color accuracy over refresh rate for productivity work. And getting all refresh rate+color+resolution gets really expensive or even impossible.

Never own a VA as far as I remember. Is VA better than TN on viewing angles? I really dislike TN viewing angles.

VA is good if you're directly in front and center of the screen otherwise it won't look good. That's why they Curved the screen to avoid those bad viewing angles. It's claimed that:
TN is good for higher response times when gaming, but with a cost of lower picture quality.
VA for higher contrast and higher color quality than TN, but with the cost of slight trailing in high FPS games aka ghosting. (But some monitors have a overboost option to avoid this)
IPS for the highest color/picture quality, with the cost of contrast.

You could tweak some options on a VA panel to get something similar to a IPS, but of course it won't be the same. If you could afford it, IPS would be the best choice. Expect to pay $30-50+ for IPS. I'd say VA is good enough, and great for a starting gaming monitor.

I hate the trend of companies slapping "gaming" on their products to make them seem more fancy.
You hate it for wrong reason. This is a genuine gaming monitor because the extra price is for features like high 144 Hz refresh rate, low Response Time, AMD FreeSync support etc. For Text editing, you can omit those features and get one standard 1080P 24" IPS monitor around $90.

That would be more important and useful to gamers and not anyone editing Microsoft documents.

Looking to add either a TV or monitor to my office for gaming on my Switch, I'd need to add speakers for this too right? Not sure if I wanna add more clutter to my desk lol. A wall mounted monitor/tv would be optimal, but does anyone have any advice or recommendations for something in this price range?

Just started looking into monitors to upgrade following my picking up a new pc. I think I want to grab a 27 inch at this point though.

My current monitor has a 60hz refresh rate. Would I need a 144 or would a 75 be enough to actually notice a change. Kind of hesitant to upgrade if theres going to be a minimal change

This is my current for the past 4-5 years

My comp is average gaming id say so Im not looking for bleeding edge kind of stuff, just 1080p. Appreciate any feedback, havent done much research on monitors and watching videos doesnt really get it across
