Just out of curiosity: Do people actually use 75Hz monitors for gaming? I've honestly never heard about such a monitor and I've only glanced at 120Hz and later 144Hz.

I do have one

Currently I am using one that has a refresh rate of 75hz. Though I have found out there are quite a few TN panels which will overclock to 75hz if you set them to the "LCD Reduced" preset, like in the NVIDIA control panel. Is it worth it though? I do see a difference when swapping between the 2, so for me yes I definitely think it is worth it.

75Hz used to be quite common when the standard monitor size was 19" and resolution 1280*1024... It's slightly better for gaming than 60Hz but that's about it.

I game on a Dell UW 34* @80hz and it is nice. I would upgrade to a 144hz 34 UW for sure.

I would day 75hz is quite good.

I'm a gamer that never plays any fastpaced games, I like CRPG, Strategy etc. My LG 075 Hz Ultrawide freesync monitor that I currently have suits me great. However I would never go with a TN panel.

Like most things, higher refresh rates do offer diminishing returns after a while. 60-75Hz is not a transformative change, but a 25% increase in potential frame output isn't insignificant.

75Hz is a nice thing to have over 60Hz, but the main selling point of this display is its freeSync range of 30-75 and its low price.

75Hz is a bit awkward for 30/60fps video, though. Not a problem with a standalone player capable of adjusting refresh rate but web video will suffer, unless you just always use 60Hz on desktop.

75hz is nothing special but with freesync enabled it will indeed be worthy for a budget gamer.
