I want a second monitor for my setup. Right now I have an Asus IPS monitor and I love it. https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824236583&cm_re=asus_slim_bezel-_-24-236-583-_-Product

This is the monitor I'm looking at to buy. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B06XDY3SJF?tag=price475-20&ascsubtag=239879878&m=ATVPDKIKX0DER

This is the monitor I currently have and I really like it. Games I play I usually like to play on high or ultra so I either barely get 60 FPS or I'm around 50. I have an i5-7500 and an rx 470. How big is the difference from 75hz to 144hz? I hear 60 to 75 has a pretty big difference and I don't really get that high of fps for 144 anyway. Also some people say TN are better nowadays but some people still have the problems where you tilt your head and it's dark. For my laptop when I slump in my chair it's already almost like you can't even see it. I love my IPS and I'm leaning towards the 75hz IPS because it's cheaper and I never hit even close to 100 fps anyway.

Gosh. This is all really subjective.

You want to know if you should go with a 75 Hz IPS or a 144Hz TN, right? You've already identified the variables between the two of them. The IPS will have better color and viewing angles at a lower refresh rate while the TN boasts higher refresh rates, the image quality and viewing angles are potentially poorer.

I think that if your hardware won't allow you to reach 144Hz, then there's no sense in buying the 144Hz TN panel display. Unless someone else has more insight to provide, it's pretty opened and closed.

I mean I could hit 100 fps probably if I tune down the settings but I like playing games on high or ultra settings even if the game is only at 48-50 fps. Some games I might tune it down tho for higher frames to use the 75hz but I'm not sure if I'll ever use the 144hz is the thing. Also my experience with TN is only laptop screens as I never had a TN monitor I've only had this IPS monitor I'm using now.

I'm going to be playing games like witcher 3 over the summer which I would rather play on high or ultra. The only games I would use the higher hz is probably player unknowns battlegrounds or league of legends tho I heard moba's have no use for 144hz because it's not fast paced like cs go. How big is the difference from 144hz? Some people just say it's amazing because it's what they use while others who had both say that it's overrated and you don't see that much of a difference as people make it seem.

I have a 144hz monitor with ULMB at 100hz. I love ULMB because the frame rates are fast yet everything is crystal clear with little or no blur. These new games with all the details in the graphics really stand out with things are clear. I too will be playing Witcher 3 soon (i'm long overdue)!

So now the dilemma is the 75hz ips in the op or a 1440p 60hz ips. Will the higher resolution be a big difference? I still plan to get a 24inch or so monitor. People say anything under 27inches is too small for 1440p. I watched some videos and it seems only very small textures like aliasing or whatever is the difference. Stuff in the distance is more sharp but that's really it. Is that worth spending $60 for 1440p but only 60hz? Odds are the games are only running like 30-40 fps anyway.
