Gaming monitors (144Hz, 240Hz, 360Hz, OLED, curved, ultra-wide) are classified under 8528.52 (monitors principally used with ADP machines). Features like G-Sync, FreeSync, HDR10/HDR400, low response time, and high refresh rate do not change the classification. A TV used as a gaming display is 8528.72 (TV reception apparatus) if it has a built-in broadcast tuner. The distinction: 8528.52 monitors lack a TV tuner; 8528.72 TVs have one. USB-C monitors with power delivery and KVM functionality are still 8528.52. Portable gaming monitors (USB-powered, used with laptops) are 8528.52. The stand, power cable, and HDMI/DP cables supplied with the monitor are classified together with the monitor as a set.
