Also no mine isn't fancy. Its a $300 LG IPS not curved and only 75Hz but can OC to around 100Hz. I have never cared about anything over 75Hz.
High refresh, low latency monitors are really nice for gaming. Once you try them you wouldn't want to go back. One time my frame rate got locked to 60 in a game I often play and it felt very wrong, like I was drunk. It's that big of a difference.
Eh, depends on what you play. I find most of my games struggle to keep 60fps @ 4K on decent hardware, so it's better to have something like G-sync. Having a higher refresh rate can help a little bit. Plus, I mostly play strategy, so the higher FPS isn't that important.
If you play FPS, for sure, it helps, and most of those games can be adjusted to keep high FPS.
I had a 4k Asus 144Hz 28" TUF with 1ms response, its actually what I traded for this monitor. This is 5ms and only 75Hz and I cannot tell any difference at all except resolution. I don't competitive game and high refresh rate has just never been something I noticed after 75Hz. My 3060 wasn't powerful enough for the 4k monitor.
