So 60hz or more and is there somewhere I can look to see the response time? Where do I look on the monitor to determine everything?

rtings.com is a great resource for comparing monitors and getting a deep dive on specs.

I think it depends on what you're going to be using a monitor for. If you're going to be getting a PS5 or using it for PC gaming, definitely get a 120hz+ monitor. If it's just going to be for PS4 for the foreseeable future, 60hz is just fine. You want 1ms response time, ideally.

I've said it before and to a few others, but I strongly recommend checking out pawn shops and thrift stores. I bought my BenQ Zowie used for $43 from a pawn shop, and my 144Hz AOC was also $47 from a pawn shop.

Remember it;s an investment right now, if you plan on buying a PS5 or Xbox in the future.
