A great monitor overall, definitely suitable for esports.
2 downsides to keep in mind when buying:
1) For a monitor this big (24.5"), if you sit close to the monitor then you might be uncomfortable noticing the very small individual pixels on the screen and might want to go for a higher resolution screen.
2) The monitor is too expensive for its size, resolution and refresh rate, I've personally seen other cheaper options from popular brands with the same specs.
However, I bought this monitor and kept for multiple reasons:
1) I play Valorant mostly, and this monitor is perfect for the game, even used in VCT (Valorant esports), the monitor display can be adjusted to enhance visuals in Valorant and some other games too, you can find details on their website.
2) The size of the monitor is perfect for 1st shooter games
3) It comes with dyac+ technology, which supposedly reduces motion blur, and it also has black equalizing capability which can be tuned to your preference, basically reducing the large gap in brightness between the darkest and brightest spots on your screen, which helps in spotting things hiding in the dark.

I haven’t had any complaints with this monitor. The price is a little high but that’s only because you’re getting 240hz which is necessary for me. The color options on this monitor are really great and customizable to your liking.

This is an excellent monitor. Goes up to 240hz. Has a quick action button and options to change gamma. Special settings to select for different type of games. I mostly play CS2. This are used by the PROS as well. It does include a shade as well to prevent reflections.

Very good monitor. I was skeptical at first but after testing many monitors this is by far the most responsive monitor I've used. Good for consoles as well. Colors aren't the best but will still be an improvement if you have an old tn panel. If you’re very competitive and money isn't and issue get it.

Amazing monitor I was hesitant to switch from a 27” 1440p 165 hz monitor but this monitor is sooooo much snappier it feels way better. Only downside is that the colors arent great and the angle of view isn’t amazing.

This is a great gaming monitor, the 240hz makes first person shooters a game changer! It's the smoothest screen I've seen, and I honestly love it, however, one dead pixel at the top center of the screen is juuuuuust enough to be annoying coming from a monitor of this price point and spec. Hopefully mine was just a fluke, and if you get this, it doesn't have any. Once gaming you pretty much forget it's there, hopefully no more decide to unalive themselves. Great gaming monitor otherwise!
