Best 144Hz G-SYNC 24-27" monitor?
« on: Thu, 21 September 2017, 16:27:29 »
I'm not sure I need 4K (but if I do, let me know ;)), so 1440p seems reasonable. The cheapest I saw was a 24" for $350, but is there a reason to spend more?

This monitor will be mainly used for for FPS gaming and video editing. Video card is a 1050 ti (though if I need to, I'll splurge on a 1080).

I'm guessing TP4 has an opinion on this.

Let me know what you recommend!

TN or IPS?

I use S2714DG (TN) from dell and its pretty good. Colour repro is not 100% (I have a 100% sRGB gamut calibrated benq a few meters away to compare) but for FPS its very nice.

I think TN because I don't case as much about color or viewing angle. Refresh rate is key here.

You should be able to pick it up for around 500 on a refurb sale w dell.

What's the BENQ you're using? Does that one fare well for gaming?

get the LARGEST,  ULMB monitor you can afford.


120 vs 144 doesn't matter,  but it has to support ULMB at that refresh rate..


ULMB is a night and day competitive advantage for FPS games.

Don't all G-SYNC monitors support ULMB?

No, not all..

but overall, you still have to look at the ULMB performance _Reviews_ of that monitor ,  because some have problems, it's a tricky feature to get perfect, yet most valuable for gaming.

BL2710PT, its AHVA panel (IPS derivative) but I use it for photo work.
