Help Choosing monitor - IPS vs TM vs 4k

[markussc1]

Hello, yesterday i wrote to you about building a pc, only for gaming, and thx to some help i managed to build it. It’s a 2200$ pc, but the last problem is, I don’t know which monitor to choose, and i know this question is old, but i can't find an answer to it.

I want to know your opinion about which monitor to choose: TM 144 Hz, IPS or 4k resolution.
i have found the following monitors.
TM 24: ASUS 24" VG248QE - 3D Ready (90LMGG001Q022B1C-)
TM 27: Acer 27" XB270HA - NVIDIA G-Sync (UM.HB0EE.A01)
4K: Samsung 28" U28D590DS 4K
IPS: BenQ 27" GW2765HT - IPS

I usually play league, but i also like to play games like ASS, and I am not playing competitive, only casual.

So the question is: should i get the 144hz screen, or will it be a useless? If not TM, should i pick IPS or 4k?

I hope you can clear my mind, because I can't imagine how important 144hz is, neither how much better IPS colours are.

Thank you in advantage, and i hope some of you have some experiences about the differences

If you're a casual gamer, graphics quality would be more important to you, also, can you link me your build, but with that budget, I'm assuming it is not ready for 4k, better with 1440p.

Since you've considered a 4k monitor, that means your budget is over $500, I'd suggest this monitor for you, It's a 27 inch 1440p AND IPS panel with 4 ms response time with built in speakers plus with all 4 types of display connection ports, if you have 970 SLI in your build, you'll be able to game 1440p at ultra with no problems.

Thank you very much, the BenQ 27 was also on my list

How much will it take to run a 4k screen? It has a 4Ghz processor and KFA2 GeForce GTX 980 SOC - 4GB GDDR, so how much more will a 4k take?

With that build, you can run it right now but only on low to medium and maybe, just maybe high settings on 4k, but you won't get close to 60 fps with just 1x 980. If you wanna guarantee 60 fps at 4k, you'd need 3-4 GPUs.

Hi again Lone.

I hope this works, if it does, this is by build

with a 250 GB SSD, and a 2TP harddisk

thank you very much

Oh okay, then it wont be 4k

I will stay with the BenQ screen, thank you very much for the help

Yeah, that will work well with 1440p high to ultra, medium to high with 4k. If you're going to SSD and HDD, I'd get the 840 evo and WD black 1-2TB.

970 SLI can already run 1440p ultra with no problem, if you get a 2nd 980 later, there won't be ANY problems at all with 1440p 144Hz at ultra, you'd have a very good gaming experience with 1440p.

Okay, cool, good luck and enjoy your awesome computer

But the BenQ is only 60hz, so if i take this for the best graphis, there wont be any problems with running ultra, with a single 980?

Oops, lol, for some reason I keep thinking of 144Hz, been reading other threads like 2 min ago, sorry. But you said you're a casual gamer, so a 144Hz monitor won't be much use to you. You might be able to run 1440p ultra with no problems with just 1x 980, maybe some games but maybe not all, I'll check.

Here is one of the reviews, you can choose which page by clicking the little box at the bottom, so far it looks like it can go over 60 fps at 1440p ultra.

Edit: But it will also depend on which games, some games may be more optimized for AMD, some might be for Nvidia, so the fps can just different for all kinds of different games.

okay, then i wont buy a 144hz. I don't want to buy a monitor i cant use at its max. then i rather want an IPS with a good graphic.
thank you very much for the great assistance

No problem, you're just a casual gamer like me, so it's best to have the game look good than high refresh rate to look super smooth

That's why I use a TV as a monitor instead of a monitor as a monitor.
