No, because I don't follow "e-sports."

Isn't it because most 4k TVs are smart TVs and can use ads to sell the TV at a lower price?

the refresh rate is off the hook! super smooth as silk!

1440p is not 2K. If anything, it's 2.5K

this is because most TVs have awful refresh rates and/or response times

which is fine for, you know, just watching TV, but games look/feel much worse

Thank you. I hate the trend of calling 1440p 2K, lol.

It really is wild what $500 can get you if you buy a TV vs buy a monitor.

I honestly thought monitors would be comparatively "cheaper" until I started looking into them.

iirc its pretty much market saturation. You can buy a TV anywhere and people dont really check for stats on them. You can make a tv super cheap and sell it for cheap anywhere. As the manufacturers just kind want the exposure.

Monitors specifically for gaming aren't sold as often and theres not as much saturation. Its seen more as niche thing so they control the price. If you go and look at basic monitors for home use you can get some decent HP monitors for like 80 bucks. My 3rd monitor is one i use just for my PC stats/music/videos and even then it would run games at 60hz in 1080p and i only paid 80 or so bucks for it.
