You can snag this 24-inch Asus TUF gaming monitor for $99 at Amazon – its lowest price to date

At 100 bucks and with 165hz, though? That more than fits the bill for any budget FPS gamer who wants frames over high image quality.

It's only 165hz when connected to a GPU capable of 165hz output via DisplayPort, else it's a 144hz monitor. Also to quote Monitor Nerds' review of this monitor:

The biggest issue we saw on the Asus VG247Q1A is its slow pixel response time which revealed black trails in fast-paced scenes. It is particularly more noticeable in dark scenes with quick motion sequences, making the monitor less ideal for E-Sports titles.

So that 165hz refresh rate doesn't mean much if its pixel response time is so slow it ghosts.

I would say it does not fit the bill for just ANY budget FPS gamer,

Black smearing is common to VA panels. I see it on my VA 4K TV, which I game on, and I wouldn't say that it's experience-ruining by any means. The TAA/DLSS/FSR smearing and artifacting common to many modern AAA games is far worse, and you'll see that no matter what display you use.

However, it may be that the black smearing is for some reason much more noticeable on the monitor in question than it is on my TV. I haven't used the monitor, so I don't know.
