How's this monitor for gaming ?

Official specs: https://www.acer.com/ac/en/US/content/model/UM.JE1AA.C01

It's 2k, 60 Hz, IPS panel monitor. So, for slow paced games (e.g WoW, Minecraft), it is good. However, it isn't that good with fast-paced games (FPS, racing) since 60 Hz is quite a limit on fast moving stuff. 144 Hz monitor would be better for those, if given your system can reach 144 FPS. And since it has IPS panel, while great with color accuracy, it's response time is also 4 ms. 4 ms doesn't matter in slow paced games, but in fast paced games, 1 ms is much better. And lastly, it has contrast ratio of 1200:1, which is quite bad, where blacks may look like gray or some form of blue. 3000:1 contrast ratio (what all VA panel monitors can do), is much better since on those, black is black. A good, deep, rich black.

1440p depending on the game needs a fair bit more gpu power
