Hi there,
My monitor has just died on me during my first PC build and I need to replace it ASAP.
I started researching all the varieties of monitor and it soon became a bit of a minefield, now I'm having trouble deciding on which type to buy, with regards to certain features, mainly panel type, g-sync and refresh rate.
But it got me thinking; how much do these features actually matter to my situation?
For example:
These are the things I'm undecided on and is where I need some help please.
PC specs:
MB: Gigabyte Z690 UD AX
CPU: i5-12600K (not presently OC'd)
RAM: 32Gb DDR5 @5600MHz
GPU: Gigabyte Aorus Master RTX 3070 Ti
Any help, advice or suggestions welcome, also , let me know if you need any further info.

For example:
- will there be a huge noticeable difference if I buy an IPS panel instead of a TN, or should I go for a VA?
- a few people have suggested that I have to get a g-sync monitor because I have an nVidia GPU, but is that really necessary?
- I was also planning on getting a monitor with a refresh of max 144Hz, but I've never owned one higher than 60Hz, so will that benefit me much?
These are the things I'm undecided on and is where I need some help please.
