So, I finally finished my build and am looking for a good 27' 1440p monitor. I love the idea of gsync, because tearing frames / motion blur is definitely noticeable to me while gaming. At the same time, I also have problems with the viewing angles & color accuracy on TN panels - to me it's like a dead pixel that you notice that might never really be a "problem," but because you noticed it you can't unnotice it and your eyes get dragged to it if that makes sense.
The higher refresh rate and 1ms vs 5ms response time are also at issue here. Based on my build, at 1440p I don't think I'll really be pushing past 60 frames a second (if even hitting that) though, so my head is telling me that I should go for the PLS monitor (I spend about 25% of my time on my PC gaming, the rest spread between schoolwork, videos, and other tasks). Does a 144hz monitor perform better at 60fps than a 60hz will? I think the answer is no, but I just want to clarify. There's also a price gap, the PLS would be cheaper and I'm thinking all around better - except for that refresh rate. will I notice a difference between 1ms and 5ms? How badly?
I've got an i5 4690k, 8gb DDR3 @1600, and an EVGA SC GTX 970. No plans to SLI in the relatively near future, but maybe a year down the road or so.
Thanks in advance!
