That one is good for the price, if your playing single player, MMO or less competitive FPS then it's a good choice.

If your really into competitive FPS then I'd go for my recommendation as the 144hz and 1MS response time would be better.

Thank you for the reply. I truly appreciate it. I want to use it so that when I pay games I can keep Vsync on instead of heavily relying on other components for that.

So the only issue with that cheaper monitor is that your not going to be to use Freesync as it requires a Displayport connection to work with the Nvidia GPU and its a good feature to be able to use especially if you experience some FPS dips.

I ordered the one you recommended ? Is that the one you're referring to ?

The one I recommended is good, you'll be able to utilize Freesync if you use a Displayport cable (no adapters) and for faster paced games the 144hz is good.

The one I was talking about was the one you posted.

So ive had this monitor now since July and apparently Its a 3ms Response time but i specifically remember it saying it was 1MS and now amazon has changed its description. because even in your post you mentioned how it was a 1ms monitor and even the Sceptre website states that its a 3ms. very weird

It may of been a error on my part and if so my bad but usually I double check that via PCPer or the manufacturer. It's been so long that I really cannot remember what it initially said. Even so, are you having issues with that monitor? The difference between 1MS & 3MS is tiny and honestly I'd be surprised if it was even noticeable even on fast paced games.

 

[Ferimer]

No you weren't wrong lol I know for a fact that it said 1ms on amazon as advertised. You weren't at fault at all it's what made me buy it. This post wasnt even in my records I had to search for it. It's like a mendella effect i swear.

PCPer does make mistakes although it is rare. It took a couple of weeks for them to fix a newer LG 21:9 monitor from 60 to 75hz. It'd be interesting if it stated 1MS on your receipt from Amazon.
