They could ban hardware, rust banned a certain series of mice to prevent scripting.

Can't you just spoof different hardware though?

I don't know, if LoL uses it, but there's some pretty ridiculous infrastructure in place for DRM, where programs can detect that your entire hardware stack (CPU → GPU → cable → Monitor) hasn't been tampered with: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-bandwidth_Digital_Content_Protection

They still can't detect when you're filming your monitor, but pretty much everything else...

hdcp is easily defeatable nowadays.

would their new anticheat be able to detect it?

How does one defeat hdcp?

there are small boxes you can buy that you install before the monitor.

it pretends to be your monitor while you can do shenanigans up the chain.

Depending on the game, this could open you up to a perma-ban (if found out). Which I think most multiplayer games take a hardline stance against circumventing their rules.

And that's actually an argument against buying this monitor, as long as you want to play any games with it. They have reason to ban you just for using this monitor. So in the end you have the choice between one monitor that could get you banned and all the others that don't. I know which one I wouldn't choose.
