“The best $280 spent”: ASUS TUF monitor stopped a bullet during a Call of Duty game and saved a gamer’s life

The player was pleased with his investment in the device.
Recently, a user under the nickname antisocialnae shared the story of his Call of Duty gaming session, which almost ended with a gunshot wound or even death for him.
According to the player, during a CoD match he heard gunfire and quickly realized that the sound was not coming from the shooter game at all—the “action” was taking place not far from his house:
Five years ago, when I was building my first gaming setup, I bought an ASUS TUF monitor, and today I can say: it was the best $280 I’ve ever spent. A few days ago, as usual, I was playing Call of Duty late at night when I heard loud shots outside—and realized they weren’t from Call of Duty. I immediately hit the floor because one of the shots sounded suspiciously close.
He called 911, and the operator asked him questions and inquired if he was okay. Then he was asked to check the wall to see if a bullet had passed through it. It turned out the monitor had stopped the bullet:
I walked over to the wall and saw a single hole behind the monitors. My heart just sank. I looked at my gear and noticed the point of impact on the main monitor, but there was no exit hole.
antisocialnae said he “can’t believe the monitor stopped the bullet” that could have hit him:
Luckily, I still have two ASUS monitors left to play on. And I wanted to upgrade my monitor anyway, so now I have a reason to do it.
