Hi, I purchased two of these monitors for Christmas 2018 for my Grandson's and they have been gaming for several years... They have all the systems and downloads as many teenagers have and I asked how they liked the monitors in lea of the TV. They Definitely can see the difference and that is why as a G'ma I research everything and found (even the and cart before the horse); returned two previous monitor in the same price range prior to Christmas because after seeing on Youtube for the difference between 1 millisecond and 5 milliseconds the trailing shadows do not appear while playing the games and this monitor has built in speakers eliminating added accessories. Best buy in the price range...also the elder Grandson wishes the speaker interface was more easily configured on screen but still likes very much. Still a good buy for the money and remember the monitor has speakers which eliminate additional accessories to hook up. All in all we have gaming laptops, play stations, and many accessories added to these monitors that replace the TV (apple TV and fire stick serves their needs). All for under $200.00. We can't complain. It was a sound decision and no regrets. Good luck... just keep reading the specs and research the difference that is how I found that 1 millisecond in gaming means more than 5 milliseconds (makes a big difference) . Also many monitors do not come with speakers and we needed simplicity not added bulk in the bedrooms. HAPPY NEW YEAR!!
