At this price point, you don't get a huge amount of extras. It's a 60Hz model with HDR10 content compatibility, AMD FreeSync support and peak brightness of 300cm/m2. So, there's no high refresh or true HDR capability.
Instead, what you do get is an LG IPS panel, which means IPS tech from the company that makes the finest IPS screens of all, albeit it's not LG's latest NanoIPS models.

If you're looking for that very particular combination of 4K resolution and IPS panel tech. And you want it from a leading brand, this is as good as it currently gets. HDR10 content support, plus plenty of inputs sweeten the deal.View Deal
Still, LG reckons it's good for 5ms response times, which is adequate. Moreover, if you're considering a cheaper 4K monitor, you probably aren't going to be spending megabucks on the very latest and greatest graphics cards. So, that 60Hz refresh will be just fine. Your GPU will likely struggle to top 60fps in-game, anyway.
Inputs wise, we're talking DisplayPort and HDMI, both with 4K@60Hz capability. If you're thinking about a panel for general duties including gaming and want a quality IPS experience with that 4K detail and precision, this is a whole lot of monitor for the money.
