As far as needing more than 100 FPS(Hz)...I can't personally tell a difference between the 2K 144Hz IPS I have (different computer) and this MSI. Also, to get 144 you need a very high end graphics card for most modern games, and good luck with that right now. I am sporting a Radeon 6800 (PowerColor Fighter) on one computer, and an RTX 3070 (MSI Gaming X Trio) on another. Something like Overwatch, or an older game, I can hit 144 with ease, but Cyberpunk 2077...no way.
To me 100 fps is the sweet spot for graphics with good frames. Also, to add a note that is kind of separate from this as many of you may also be looking at a graphics card. I will say that the 6800 flat out spanks the 3070. Not even close. The only time the 3070 does as good or better is with ray tracing. The percentage hit is much harder on the AMD card than the 3070, but I mainly notice reflections only when running RTX, so typically only turn that on for the few games I have that take advantage of that.
Edit: FYI..If you have an issue buying from a company like MSI, urlhasbeenblocked (an American company I believe) makes good monitors for a good price. I have a similar monitor from them as this MSI. It looks just as good, but did take more calibration to get the color right. I think they also have a no dead pixel policy and 3 year warranty. I did email them some questions before I purchased the monitor, and they responded within an hour. So thumbs up to their support.
Edit 2: Read Newegg's return/exchange policy before buying from them. I like to buy from them, but their monitor exchanges (bad pixels, etc.) are very strict. My 4K IPS has one dead pixel right in the middle, and am stuck with it.
Edit: 3: Blind Hz testing. Can you really tell the difference?

Just for comparison: If I am not mistaken, a comparable LG is currently on sale for $400 @ Costco.
