You can buy 20 full-hd gaming screens for the same amont of money. Or 12 4K screens. And while they may not look as nice, they have a much better frequency. 60Hz feels laggy.
What _does_ "refresh" is the backlight in the sense that the brightness is controlled by PWM. However, there are many monitors that use PWM frequencies in the several hundred Hz range, or don't use PWM at all.
27" 1440p, IPS panel with wide viewing angles, 165 hz and FreeSync 2, DCI-P3 color gamut. RTINGS describes it as "excellent response time" and "outstanding low input lag."

You get the typical IPS tradeoffs: it doesn't win any prizes for contrast, HDR, or black uniformity. I'm very happy with mine.
Your information is 2-3 years out of date.
In what way? If it's just discomfort using it for long periods of time, there's a 95% chance, you need to turn on the lights in your room or turn down your monitor brightness.
> Can you please recommend a VA panel that is good for text sharpness, too?
Some subpixel arrangements might require you to change the font smoothing (Windows ClearType), but any monitor with high pixel density will do, really. I'm not an expert on specific models so I won't recommend one.
I do not face the same eye fatigue after hours of sitting in front of a VA panel compared to sitting in front of an IPS one.
I do agree that a single monitor is more comfortable.
1440p monitor has like a fifth of the pixels a 6k monitor has.
- The parent-parent comment suggests that a single high resolution monitor is a good solution for people in general. I am suggesting that a 1440p monitor at 27-inch is a better choice than a 6k monitor, for people in general, taking cost into account.
- You could get five 1440p monitors for 1/6 the price of this 6k.
- As resolution increases you get diminishing returns.
- 1440p, 27-inch is a sweet spot, imo.
