I found a pretty nice gaming monitor made my Asus, I would like to know if it is worth the price and if I should get it, or if you know a different one I should get. Here is the monitor: https://pcpartpicker.com/part/asus-monitor-vg248qe the pc I am going to be building is here: https://pcpartpicker.com/user/Linkin506/saved/TtVgXL the monitor has 144hz so it displays 144 fps for games, I think my pc should be able to get a pretty high amount of fps for some games, but the newer games only around 60 fps, so I don't know if it is worth getting that high of a speed. If you guys think it is worth the price, or if you think I should get a different one, please let me know. I would also like to know if the picture will look nice, I know it isn't an ips monitor, but if the quality will still look nice, it has an 80,000,000:1 contrast ratio, I am not too sure if that is any good. Anyway, what do you guys think, is it worth the $250 and the performance will be noticeable for gaming, or is it over priced and I should get a cheaper one and lower refresh rate? thanks to anyone who is able to help!

Hey there,
I recommend BenQ monitors over Asus monitors. For one reason, it is the picture quality I've experienced.
There are so many BenQ monitor lines so try to find what you need.

Higher Refresh rates like 144hz are for people who play FPS games most of the time I think...

Hope this helps.
 

ok thanks, I will look into some benq monitors, if this helps, some games I plan to play are Dying Light, Battlefield 3/4 possibly hardline, Far Cry 3, Skyrim, and a few third person games like GTA V and The Evil Within. I know that 144Hz is better than 60Hz, but I want to be sure that it is worth the extra money and if it will be noticeable to me. I have never played on a gaming pc before, this is my first one, I have the xbox 360 and decided to get a pc instead of xbox one or ps4, since most console games only display 30 fps, will I even notice a difference between 60 and 144 or even 120Hz since I don't have the experience?

 



Here's the good reference you might want to look at, showing difference between 60hz vs 144hz at the same time.

However, so many people are mistaken by thinking 60hz monitor will produce max. of 60fps.
That's is totally WRONG.
I have 60hz monitor and produces over 300fps when playing certain games even more on lower end games.

Looks like you play bit of every games. I assume you want to get 24inch, then i recommend looking at
BenQ XL2420z which has tons of features.

Oh, make sure your hardware, most importantly, graphic card can keep up with the games first for higher fps.

 

I thought 60hz monitors only displayed 60 fps, even if your game says it is running higher, maybe I am wrong. I was planning on getting a 24 inch screen, correct :) and I think my hardware is able to get higher fps for games, I was planning to get an Intel Core i5-4690k, GTX 970, 8GB RAM, 1TB space.

 


That's good enough spec for games.
There's been a test review about the mhz vs fps and proves it wrong.

Anyways, good luck with your new pc!
