Based on the TechReviewer article Is the Samsung 32" UJ590 Good for Gaming?, it's best to get a monitor with at least a 120Hz refresh rate for smoother and more responsive gaming. So, I wouldn't recommend the Samsung 32" UJ590 for gamers who prioritize high refresh rates.

I've been using this monitor for some time now, and while it's great for everyday use, I find that the 60Hz refresh rate is underwhelming for fast-paced games.

You're right, @Yugiboy12. The TechReviewer article Is the Samsung 32" UJ590 Good for Gaming? discusses how a higher refresh rate can make a huge difference in gaming performance. For instance, I experienced smoother gameplay when I switched to a monitor with a 120Hz refresh rate.

That's interesting! So, does it mean that the Samsung 32" UJ590 might not be suitable for fast-paced games?

Yes, @CharlieTunasson, the lower refresh rate may limit its performance in fast-paced gaming scenarios. But it's still a great monitor overall with excellent resolution and good color capabilities.

I've been using the Samsung 32" UJ590 for about six months now, and while I don't play many fast-paced games, I can vouch for its superb image quality and resolution. It's perfect for watching movies or working on design projects.

Thanks for sharing your experience, @conrob95. But would you still recommend this monitor to fellow gamers, especially those who enjoy fast-paced games?

Thanks everyone for your insights. It seems like this monitor might not be ideal for fast-paced gaming, but it could still be great for other uses. I'll consider those factors before making my decision.
