450 lumen is very dim, only suitable for hallway lighting imo as it is too dim to use even for small rooms in a single bulb config. The...

Soothsayer replied to CY on LG 32GK850G-B 32" QHD VA 144hz G-Sync Monitor $659 + Delivery at Shopping Express
If ignoring size, the Viewsonic will be better as IPS has considerably less ghosting / motion blur compared to VA.

People who have actually tried it, love it. IMO it's simply because of cost. UW price barrier for "gamer" specs (1440p, >100Hz) is still...

Soothsayer commented on [NSW] Mirabella Genio Wi-Fi Dimmable 9w LED Smart Bulbs - $5 @ Coles Wynyard
9W = 800 lumens, 2700k (warm) / 4000k (cold) on these to save everyone a Google.
