Wow, like you said at this price point this monitor is pretty bang on.

I love seeing monitors that regular people can afford getting reviewed!

I have this one (although mine comes with a USB-c port). I absolutely love it. Before this I purchased the AOC CQ27G2 Curved VA Panel. I was very disappointed with it. After RMA'ing, I went and got the MSI. Have no regrets. It's perfect for the games I play - BF2042, Racing Sims, First person shooters.

I'm still waiting for an OLED gaming monitor at this price point. I thought I heard somewhere that the colors of modern TN panels were on par with on par with IPS, so my question is, how has IPS improved to keep ahead of TN?

The word "Pro" is so overused, I have no idea what it's supposed to mean anymore. Maybe it never meant anything.

But look at how high the minimum refresh rate is. 48hz? That’s stutter city for most graphically intensive games especially if you play games at launch.

That's a fairly standard minimum refresh rate though. I'm not sure what your contention with this is?

Yep. It used to mean you got paid to use whatever tool was labeled "Pro". Now it means they're trying to fool hobbyists into thinking they're getting top quality tools when the gear used by actual professionals (i.e. those actually getting paid) rarely has "Pro" anywhere in the name. I run away as fast as I can from any brand name or model name with "Pro" in it. Ditto for repair companies, towing services, etc.
