The best gaming monitor I've ever had

I've had this monitor for almost 2 years now and can honestly say this is the best gaming monitor I've seen. The first thing I thought I might have trouble with was the monitor stand itself. The legs/legs of it bothered me at the time and I wanted a new monitor stand. When I finally got my hands on two different monitor stands, I went back to the original. I didn't like the original at first because of how scattered it was and how much space it took up. But after trying the other two, they actually took up more space than intended. The images also look a lot better than on my other monitors, which I won't name. Colors look more real without the artificial brightness effect. But I don't really go into that because I don't care about quality as much as performance. 240Hz is much better than 144Hz and 60Hz wasn't even considered back then. Playing at 240Hz for a few months is a game changer. I went to my friend's house and saw him play a bit on his 144hz monitor. I could tell the difference - it was changeable for me. If I then only played at 60 Hz, I would get headaches and sore eyes. After switching to 240Hz it's almost impossible to go back to anything else. The included HDMI cable can operate at 240Hz if you're curious, so there's no need to buy a new cable. The back panel for hiding the cables is a bit finicky and I finally gave up on putting it on since no one would see it. For gaming, I really like the size of this monitor. Some VESA mounts are more difficult to install due to the shape of the back of the monitor. There are better monitors for displaying images, e.g. B. the 27-inch monitor with 240 Hz and 2k resolution, but that seems inappropriate for gaming purposes.
