Why am I not surprised this is a TN panel and only 1080p. And of course, don't forget the small size. Remember one of the golden rules of today's gamer kiddies: your cloth mouse pad must be bigger than your monitor.

We spent sooooo many years stuck at 60Hz, which f*cking sucked, but good gawd man, now sh1t is getting ridiculous in the extreme opposite direction. Please someone tell me how useful 540Hz is gonna be. Is that worth the sacrifice in image quality to some? I can't imagine any dang scenario where I would prefer such an insaaaane refresh rate to a larger monitor, higher resolution, and especially panel type. Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck TN panels. I never ever EVER want to see them again for as long as I live. Please be gone, and bother us no more, for all of eternity.

Yup. It's hard to quantify on the side of the box (or in an online description) what makes a monitor's image quality better. At least in a way your Average Joe will understand.

So they just go with whatever can make the numbers bigger. Any number really, so long as it's bigger.
