I would not recommend that particular 144Hz monitor, it does not have DisplayPort support and only supports 144Hz over dual link DVI. This is a problem now as newer graphics cards are dropping DVI and only shipping with DisplayPort and HDMI ports in a lot of cases. It is possible to get the monitor to do 144Hz on a GPU with no DVI, but it requires an expensive (eg. about $100) active adapter to do it.

As others have said, your GPU isn't up to outputting 144Hz on anything that isn't very old or very undemanding, and your CPU is a bit weak for >60Hz gameplay on modern titles. If you do get a 144Hz monitor, you may be stuck waiting until you can do some more system upgrades to truly be able to take advantage of it.


I got GTX 1050 Ti like 6 months ago so i might be able to replace it in a year or something ;(

so i'm better off staying with 60 Hz monitor for now till i upgrade my entire rig for 144Hz monitor later right ?
 


upgrading my entire rig is gonna be pain so rip getting monitor with 144Hz i guess for now 😀
 
So guys which monitor should i go for cause i'm using tv monitor atm that doesn't have gaming features >.<
These r my options for my budget + available in my country

ASUS VX248H 24 Inch Full HD LED Monitor
ASUS VS248HR 24 Inch Full HD LED Monitor
BenQ RL2455HM 24 Inch Gaming LED LCD Monitor
Samsung S24E360HL 24 Inch PLS LED Monitor
Samsung C24F390FHM 24 Inch Essential Curved Monitor
Samsung S24D330H 24 Inch LED LCD Monitor
 


Out of the ones you listed it has the best specs with a 80,000,000 to 1 contrast ratio. They all have 1ms response times so that's good. The only downside I see is it's max resolution is 1920 x 1080. So if you do upgrade your card you will have to get a new monitor to play in 4k. That is the max rez on all of them though.

 


I wanna go with benq since every pro gamer is using one, the problem is i'm looking for the ones at high end malls in my country not through amazon newegg etc cuz its kinda pain to get one 🙁
