This is a great monitor, my friend bought it for 35k about 1.5 years ago. Sadly seems OOS now. I couldn't see a difference in response time between my 170Hz & his 240Hz monitor but that is a great VA panel for normal multimedia usage as well. My friend used to be Plat 1/2 in R6 back in 2017-19, so he is someone who benefitted from that monitor's lower response time & high refresh rate. I don't know his rank in Valo now as I don't play Valo. But based on my usage of his monitor, I'm never buying a super high refresh rate monitor for myself as it won't benefit me. I will take a 4K 144Hz monitor over 2K 240Hz any day as those are close in price.
