Is this VA Panel 144hz 1ms good for gaming?

[Ramzyy]

I heard that VA panels are pretty bad for gaming but I found this monitor https://www.laptopsdirect.co.uk/msi-32-optix-ag32c-full-hd-165hz-1ms-curved-gaming-monitor-s15-000305c-hh5/version.asp is good for gaming? what's your opinions that on that?

Va is the best but that's just my opinion. No ips glow. Much higher contrast which is the biggest factor in looking the best. Wide gamut and good accuracy. It's the slowest of the bunch but any other spec is to va's advantage when it comes to gaming. 27" 1080p is not what I'd recommend. What is your budget?

Around 300-350euro

Unless you are already familiar with and don't have an issue with bigger pixels on 27" 1080p, I'd go with 24" c24fg73. https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B071RP6WVL/?tag=pcp0f-21

Can you tell me what' so bad about the monitor?

As I mentioned earlier, 27" 1080p is not recommended. It's a larger than normal pixel size. 24" is closer to normal for 1080p. If you are fine with big ugly pixels then get 27" if not get 24."

Eh, I got a 28" @1080p and 22" @1080p sitting on my desk. So, I figured I'd measure how close I need to get to see the "big ugly pixels".
28" screen = ~10.5" away
22" screen = ~8.5" away

Firstly, that's way too close to the monitor anyways, my optician recommends at least twice that.
Secondly, that ~2" (or 5cm) difference is minuscule.
Thirdly, I've been using 28" @1080p for a couple of years now, and I got no problem recommending it. In games, it just feels much more immersive.
But if you're running a multi monitor setup, just make sure you don't run out of table. Take some measurements beforehand. I didn't. Had to get creative with the third display. Oh, I can also recommend turning one of your displays to portrait mode, very good for reading text heavy pages.
