This is the entry point for gaming monitors — curved, fast refresh, and cheap enough that you won't feel guilty replacing it in a few years. The curve wraps around you a bit at 24 inches, which some people like for immersion in games, though it's subtle at this size.
The screen refreshes 165 times per second, so fast games feel smooth instead of choppy. That's the main thing you're paying for. The catch is it's 1080p on a 24-inch panel, which means text and fine details look softer than you're used to if you've been staring at a sharp laptop or phone screen. Not blurry, just less crisp.
The VA panel gives decent contrast — blacks look darker than most budget screens — but the HDR sticker is meaningless here. Treat it like a regular bright display and you'll be fine.
