Only thing missing for me is 1440p. If it is good at syncing down to just south of 50Hz, I may bite. I really want to try running some classic Amiga/C64/Speccy games with a smooth PAL framerate. Never had access to those systems growing up.

Looks like a nice monitor for the money. FHD vs QHD and no Displayport keeps me from buying it. Would be good for triple monitor setup if you can make it work with only HDMI and VGA. Vesa mount is really low on this.

Ordered 2 of them. Found open box geek squad certified for $99. Was given an Asus monitor for my WFH setup but the color on it was atrocious. Fingers crossed these are better! Will just return if not.

I didn't think it was possible to get 60fps on 50hz...

Freesync is variable refresh rate. The systems mentioned use the PAL format which is 25 FPS. 50 is a multiple of 25, so an emulator rubbing the 50 FPS and synced to the monitor refresh rate would give you essentially the same experience as playing those games on a PAL TV as designed.

jax4ever2 was making a joke about my username. Also, PAL games tended to run at 50Hz (25fps interlaced), though on displays increasingly widely in use, progressive 50fps is finally attainable internationally.

2k is a must now days

I'm going to be upgrading to 4k for next set of monitor. Currently on an LG 32" 1440 144hz gaming monitor with a 21" LG 1080 75hz stacked on top and everything is pretty good other than watching media. Hulu, Netflix, other streaming content doesn't look as sharp when compared to watching on 4k television but this may just be how it is when streaming from PC. I read that watching some content via Microsoft Edge browser increases clarity for Hulu and I do notice it a bit.

Depends on what your primary use is for. I bought for an extra monitor to work from home and it serves the purpose pretty well, I got it a few months back when they had it on sale for about the same price. Most monitors of this quality would cost you a tad more. I wouldn't necessarily recommend it for gaming or anything like that.

My internet is too slow for 2k not even going to talk about 4K so for me it's more reading prints on 2k and 4K or editing videos on 4K. My internet is only $10 from Comcast

If you got internet essentials then you get 50Mb/s. Which is fast enough for 4k.
