Alright folks, spilling some tea here. I've been staring at screens for, well, let's just say a *long* time. From coding dungeons to gaming glory, I've seen it all. So, I'm genuinely curious: what actually makes a monitor *worth* it for you? Is it all about that super-fast response time for those twitchy FPS games? Or are you chasing color accuracy for photo editing? I've heard good things about the [G255F by MSI](/monitors/msi/g255f) for gaming, seems quick enough, and the [Studio Display by Apple](/monitors/apple/studio-display) for those who need accurate colors. Do you even notice the difference between a 60Hz and a 144Hz refresh rate? 'Cause honestly, after a certain point, it all kinda blurs together for *this* old timer. Let's hear your thoughts. What are your must-haves, and what are you willing to compromise on?
