[goncalo159]

Hi, i'm looking for a Gaming Monitor to buy, but i can't decide. Until now i saw some models but i can't decide .. i will let the links in here and i would like your opinion on them and what model should i buy, and if you have any other recommendation. i'm looking for something with at least G-shync and 144Hz or more. About the IPS\VA\TN e don't know.

Thank you for your time in advance.

IPS - Better view angles and colour, but worse response times than TN. More expensive, and usually lower refresh rates. High refresh rate IPS monitors are generally very expensive.

TN - Better response times, but worse viewing angles and colours than IPS. Generally cheaper, and usually higher refresh rates.

VA - Attempt to be the middle ground, and tend to not excel at either.


If gaming over all else, look to refresh / response times. If not, look to colours (view angles only really important if panel is not level with user). The Holy Grail is an IPS, <1ms reponse, G-Sync, 144Mhz or more for less than ~500. The reality is that IPS are at best 4ms to 5ms response, while TN are 1ms, but don't have the colours of IPS.

I would suggest the Asus PG279Q as the benchmark for gaming on IPS on G-Sync. Expensive though.

BTW...

G-shync

That's how Sean Connery says it. 😀

ok ty for your opinion. Do you think that in the Asus PG279Q 1440p downscale to 1080p will be a bad thing ? or it will be normal ?
