Because merit is haaaaaaaaard ! <| sep |> If you just recently heard this and ask if it improves your play , I would say probably not . I ' m not trying to be condescending but you seem like a casual . If I was you I would buy a better TV with really low input lag . On the other hand if you are pretty good a monitor will definitely up your game . You ' ll hit more crits and drag snipes for sure . A monitor 2 ms took my KD from 2 . 5 to almost 3 . Think my TV was around 3040 ms . You won ' t be better at the game , but you will hinder yourself less with a faster response time . But once you get used to a monitor it ' s no way back ! Muscle memory fucks you up big time ! Anyways , skill in this game is game IQ . But don ' t put yourself in a disadvantage and use a slow ass TV .
