You need a good IPS panel which will likely be present in 11-12k entry level gaming monitors. Cheaper monitors are 250nits at best which is not enough if sunlight is falling on it. 6k monitors will mostly be 220nits or worse, so 250nits is decent. Get the one you listed, not like I can see anything better at 6k.

You could have bought this with card offers during the sale last weekend.

Get something used from a local shop or educational institution.

In my experience those cheap 22" 1080p Dell monitors are bad as well, but my standards have become quite high. I can easily spot monitors inferior to VG240Ys.

Bought Samsung LS22C310EAWXXL (Borderless) IPS 22" moniter for Rs.8000 from a local vendor. Looks good.

Thanks .
