Don't take Horizon 3 as your benchmark for performance since it is, despite the multiple patches that have been applied to it, a very unoptimized game. The thing is, when you consider the size of the monitor compared to your current TV, 2k is more than enough since pixel size will be much...

Are you aiming to get a higher framerate at a lower resolution or just get a better response time and input lag number? Yes, you would have to reduce screen size quite a bit, but if you're having issues with responsiveness, I would suggest going for the monitor. I'm no expert in the topic so i'm...

Which connection are you running for each monitor?

I wouldn't go that far and say you will have to just deal with it, but unfortunately your monitor uses an adaptive sync technology exclusive to AMD cards, so you will have to use v-sync to avoid tearing. Have you tried setting the refresh rate via Windows?

Can you give me more detail on the monitor and gpu you are using? If by any chance your monitor has adaptive sync that matches your gpu you might not need v-sync at all.

If you are just watching high-res movies I would put more attention on the type of panel rather than the resolution. 1080/1440p will do just fine. If you are aiming for 4k I would suggest going for a tv instead, which will give you a bigger screen at less cost than a monitor equivalent. Also...

You'll have to use v-sync to avoid it. (edit: didn't read you have an nvidia card). You could limit the monitor to a reachable framerate for your nvidia, and activate vsync, or simply activate vsync to mitigate the screen tearing, but fps drops will be not pleasant.

It will not harm your monitor in any way, and you will notice a slight difference in gaming. Make sure you use a video cable that supports your resolution and refresh rate.

What software did you use to lock the monitor refresh rate? Most games will override your setting and go for the monitor max value which is 144hz.

It is worth noting both of those Acers use TN panels. The Samsung uses a PLS/IPS panel. Response time is not really an issue if you are just a casual gamer. I would go for the Samsung.

Looks awesome dude, i love it. Many thanks

is there a sapphire 580 wallpaper for me :D?

So are you telling me an usb connection is preferred over an spdif or a 3.5?
