Your question is still vague.

 

Sure, your monitor is okay for gaming. But it doesn't exactly stack up to the best gaming monitors nowadays.

I wouldn’t use it unless your computer can’t run 1080p. The monitor is ok with 5ms and 60hz but the resolution is 1680 x 1050.

I am far from an expert in this so please correct me if I’m wrong.

It's an 75 hz monitor 

Is it over clocked? Just want to check because if it isn’t then the spec sheet I was looking at was wrong.

It can go up to 75Hz at lower resolutions, 60Hz is for 1680x1050.

 

Best thing about the monitor is the 16:10 ratio. Maybe not as relevant for gaming, though. Other pros: less demanding on hardware to run games at its native resolution.

 

 Cons: not very good picture quality, color accuracy or viewing angles. Just a monitor.

 

In the end, if it displays your games...

Yeah it works fine I am planning to get dual monitors so another one of those 1680x1050
