I have this monitor and it is good for photo or video use. There are better options if you game. One thing I don't like is it has pretty bad image retention, but it never has burned in. If you have a window open for 15 minutes, then go to a solid color screen, you can see the "shadow" of the window for a couple minutes. If you don't care about the color calibration, there are probably better ips monitors with higher refresh rates for the same price.

Is this a good quality monitor?

I've had this and the 4k version for years and love them. Great for design/video work, haven't had any issues with gaming or watching video either. This one should be 75hz but everything usually looks great
proart monitors work so well for the mister fpga console gaming because they can easily handle the weird, non-standard frame rates of old games. while modern tvs expect a flat 60hz, an arcade game might run at 53hz and a super nintendo actually runs at 60.1hz. proart displays can smoothly adjust their refresh rate to match these exact numbers. this means you get a buttery smooth picture with zero screen tearing and no added input lag. plus, you can rotate the screen 90 degrees for vertical arcade games.

There is something wrong with yours because mine has zero image retention.

This is Variable Refesh Rate and tons of other monitors support it.

it's a bit different here. vrr is designed for frame rates that constantly change on the fly. vintage consoles and arcade boards output a static but non-standard refresh rate. for example, the snes is exactly 60.098hz, and some arcade boards run at a fixed 53hz or 57hz.
a lot of standard monitors, even ones with vrr, have rigid handshake protocols. they will literally just throw an "out of range" error or suffer from terrible stuttering because they expect a flat 60.00hz or a specific modern vrr range. proart scalers are famous in the retro community because their firmware accepts these weird, off-spec pixel clocks natively. combine that flexibility with a native vertical pivot stand for arcade tate mode, and it is a really sweet spot for mister fpga users.
