60/75HZ IPS vs 144hz TN+Film ( PC+PS4 )

[maxzki]

Hello guys! I really need a feedback of getting a new display for my pc. Since i've decided to get ps4 i need a new one with display port + hdmi or 2 hdmi's. Also would be nice if you can name some good models for me. I'm really confused since i don't really play competitive games that much anymore and getting a 60/75hz one will let me to stay with current rig atleast for 1-2 yrs more. PC rig is : 16gb 3000mhz , i7 7700k@4.5 and gtx 1070 msi gaming x. Much appreciated for every answer!

Honestly, I don't see the point of going with crazy frame rates. If your equipment can maintain a steady 60 or 76 FPS, I'd go with the IPS.

The human eye MAY be able to detect better smoothness around the 100 or so fps mark, maybe a little more, but if you're not playing much in the way of competitive games, the IPS screens do look very nice.

Thanks, but i can't find a 75hz ips with display port + hdmi.. only hdmi.. As far as i think i need dp for 75hz? I want to go for higher refresh rate than 60 so i guess even 75hz is noticable. UPD. I need something that can do 75hz@1920x1080 with dp tho ( or hdmi? idk if its possible )

Well, according to this page: https://www.gamingscan.com/hdmi-vs-displayport-vs-dvi-vs-vga/

The most common HDMI 1.4 is the most popular for non-4K-capable displays. It can deliver up to 2560×1600 screen resolution at 75Hz as well as 144Hz at 1920×1080 which is very popular amongst competitive PC gamers.

The HDMI 1.3 supports 144Hz at 1080p as well, but the older HDMI versions (from 1.0 to 1.2) max out at 1920×1200 at 60Hz.

This page: https://www.gamersnexus.net/guides/2113-hdmi-interface-questions-addressed-1080p-120hz
gets into a longer, more esoteric explanation, and talks more about 120Hz, but states:

1080p at 120Hz, then, would fit within even HDMI 1.4b's 340MHz pixel clock (1920 * 1080 = 2.07 million * 120 = 248 million pixels per second). There's more to it than that, though, and HDMI 1.4b simultaneously supports and does not support 1920x1080 at 120Hz. It supports the 120Hz 1080p throughput only for 3D processing, which it does by cloning the data packet for concurrent output to the display device. For 2D viewing – which is what almost all gamers mean when they want “120Hz” – HDMI 1.4b is stuck at just 60Hz for 1080p. This is commonly misunderstood in the HDMI 1.4b spec language.

As for monitors, I'm mostly out of my element - I've personally gone for ultra-wide screens, and my son's 2560x1080 has both DP and HDMI inputs. I haven't really done any searching on 1920x1080 monitors recently, though.

Ye thanks for those a lot, but i need to find something like 75hz@1920x1080 with display port + hdmi would be so nice. Maybe i'm stupid tho but i couldn't find a proper solution with an approve of usage 75hz@1920x1080.

Hmm, I can't imagine no such monitor in that combination exists, as DP has been around for quite some time.

I admit that my own previous 1920x1080@75 monitors only had VGA + DVI + HDMI, but they were significantly older models.

HDMI 1.4 supports standard 1080p video up to 144 Hz just fine. Gamers Nexus is wrong.

HDMI devices are not required to support the maximum bandwidth of a particular version, so even if a monitor has an HDMI 1.4 port it doesn't necessarily support the full bandwidth allowed by HDMI 1.4. This means that many HDMI 1.4 monitors are limited to 60 Hz at 1080p, but it has nothing to do with the HDMI standard. It's just a limitation of those monitors. There are monitors with HDMI 1.4 ports that support 1080p 120 Hz or 144 Hz over HDMI just fine (XG2401/XG2401 or C24FG70 for example), they are just rare.
