Need a monitor

[Dazzah]

I am looking for a monitor which has a refresh rate of 144hz, 1080p, display port, and an ips panel...it would be very nice to have thin bezzels hence why i need ips panels.

Budget of £200 and 24" or 27"

Thanks

you won't find an IPS monitor with that high of a refresh rate for a while in that price range.

Will a TN panel do in multi monitor gaming though?

I would go with a 60hz IPS panel if you are planning multi monitors over a 144hz TN panel.
I would consider AOC as a good brand for budget IPS panels, good quality for a great price.

this would be a good choice

But then my two gtx 970 power will go to waste...

 

[Phil923]

how so? I am failing to understand your actual question now. Your budget will not allow for multiple IPS monitors, so your best bet would be to get TN panels.

But if my monitors can only display 60fps, what would be the point in me having two gtx 970...i may aswell have a console?

Now I know what you are misunderstanding! Unless you have Vertical Synchronization on, the refresh rate has nothing to do with the amount of FPS you are going to get in the game. Here let me link you to a thread that explains this in detail.

Yes but if i get the 60hz then i will only reach 60fps? then that would be a waste having two gtx 970s?

 

[Phil923]

Like I said, the 60hz will not limit your actual fps UNLESS you use the Vertical Synchronization (V-Sync) option in whatever game you may play. So if you have V-Sync off, you will get to whatever FPS your two 970s allow depending on what game you are playing.

Wow, i feel so stupid now...holy shit thank you man!

haha, no problem We all start somewhere and learn from there. Don't hesitate to ask more questions if you have any.
