144 hz vs 60 hz

[cateizkill]

Hey guys i wanna do some upgrade to 1440 but i have a tight budget , i spot an asus 1440p monitor for about 350 £ but i notice that its 60hz and the cheapest 1440 144hz monitor is benq xl2730z at 415 £ , what is the best option cuz i only had about 400 £ for budget

1440p is great I've been using this resolution for 2 years and used 3 different monitors.

xl2730z is the way to go for gaming especially if you like fps games however this resolution and refresh rate is not for a budget.

You will need a very power system to drive the monitor.

http://gaming.benq.com/gaming-monitor/xl2420g might be a good idea.

The Asus 1440p is probably the PLS/IPS version that will look great but is more for graphics artist and business professionals...

To drive a 1440p 144 hz monitor my recommendation is a 980 ti or better.

I went from a 1080p 60Hz to 1440p 165Hz monitors. The difference was massive. I highly recommend the BenQ model. Playing at 1440p is a great jump but getting above 60fps is hell yeah. I love it.

There are 3 responses all by one person? ok, well...that could have been done in one.

Makes me want to go back to video tubes. Had a gaming tube monitor that had 240mhz refresh rate.

Well i finally find an asus monitor that fots my budget tho and for anyone who wonder i used gtx 980 in the rig because i plan to use the r9 390x but scraped it cuz im not sure bout the airflow in my case

Huge difference. Reduced blur regardless what FPS. Smoother game play provided you push more than 60 FPS. Won't make you a better player. Preferred in the professional gaming scene. That sums it up nicely.


All the best!

The PB278q is the 60 hz pls I mentioned above however the pg278q is the one you want however it will be a lot more money.

The PB278Q is 3 years old, and the PG278Q 144Hz pushes much better in terms of fps gaming. I'd go for the PG model instead. Also, it is probably still under warranty.

The original poster mixed up the specs of the 2. The PB is 5 MS response time and 60 hz the pg has a 1 ms response and 144 hz

The chellenge is a new PG will be a lot more than $400 euros
