looking dor2K or 4K monitor

[snon200]

hi, im looking to buy a new monitor that will go along with the new pc i want to buy, im thinking about 4K or 2K monitor and its important that it has 144Hz and 1/2ms response time.
try to keep the offers at the lowest price possible and not go crazy, i need to see the price difference and then decide if i want 4K or 2K.

I use the BenQ XL2730Z, and love it, but it isn't cheap by any means. I paid around $600 for it, although they have similar models in smaller sizes than the 27" that probably cost less. It meets your other requirements though; 1440p (2k), 144Hz refresh, 1ms response time.

I haven't done any research into 4k monitors, but with the specs you want you'd be hard pressed to find a 2k monitor for less than $500 or so, and 4k monitors would just go up from there in price.

Here's a link to some 2k monitors that meet your requirements on NewEgg

This is the only 4k monitor on NewEgg that has higher than a 60Hz refresh rate, and it's only 75Hz

which one is better? Acer XG270HU or BenQ XL2730Z

I would go with the BenQ, but that depends on which features you prefer out the following differences:

The BenQ has a TON of options for physical adjustments (height, rotation, tilt), and has markings so you can reset to where it was if you move it.

The Asus has a higher contrast ratio allowing for more differentiation in image settings, it also has built-in speakers

The BenQ still has great image quality, and the contrast levels allow for plenty of range in your blacks, so I found that the physical adjustibility made it more worthwhile to me. The Asus just didn't allow for enough customization to be useful to me, and I didn't care that it has speakers at all. Basically it comes down to which you prefer though, as the image quality and response time should be nearly identical.
