As a gamer I am torn between whether I should get an Asus 27" IPS monitor, or a 120 hertz monitor from BenQ, or a 144 hertz monitor from Asus. Here are the monitors I was thinking of:
Asus 27" IPS: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824236309&Tpk=MX279H&IsVirtualParent=1
BenQ 120 hertz: http://www.amazon.com/BenQ-XL2420T-Professional-Gaming-Monitor/dp/B006HIKIG0
Asus 144 hertz: http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824236313
I was originally leaning towards the monitors with higher refresh rates, but my friends reeled my into IPS technologies so I got interested in that too. Now I am in a though decision on what kind of monitor to get. My current monitor is a basic 24" 60 hertz Asus LED monitor.
Price is not too much of an issue (although I would still like to know which is best bang for your buck) and I play many games from FPS to RPGs but most of my FPS games are older/non graphic intense such as CSS and Crysis 2 (and things between that level of graphics). Recently though I find myself playing more non FPS games.
My specs are as followed:
Motherboard: Asus Sabertooth P67
CPU: Intel quad-core i5 2500k Sandy bridge OC@ 4 Ghz
GPU: EVGA GTX 570 1GB Vram
RAM: 16GB G.SKILL RipJaws
PSU: 850 Watt Cooler Master Silent Pro
Case: CM Storm Enforcer
Storage: 120 GB OCZ SSD & 2TB HDD
Cooler: Corsair H80i Liquid Cooler
OS: Windows 7 Home Premium
So which monitor would best suit my unique gaming needs? Please let me know what you all think!
