Which is better? A 24 inch 1440p 144hz monitor or a 24inch 1080p 144hz monitor with G-Sync?

Which one should I buy?

Depends on your budget. Personally I wouldn't buy a 1080p Screen in 2017 if you got the funds

However if you're running a GTX 970 and don't plan on upgrading anytime soon keep in mind that a 1440p 165Hz is wasted until you buy and adequate GPU.

for 24" the 1080p is fine. so probably the g-sync one is not that bad idea.
anyway you need a very powerful card to run 1440p at 144 FPS.

For my next upgrade I'm planning to buy a gtx 1060 6gb. My current gpu is a gtx 1050 but I play mostly Dota 2 and my fps go over 100+ fps. Do you think the 1440p is worth it for maybe general browsing and stuff or should I just go with the 1080p.

Update: I just realised the 1440p monitor also has G-Sync however it is a TN panel so the question is changing to do I choose higher resolution or an IPS panel instead of a TN panel

 

[Isokolon]

there are no 24'' 144Hz IPS panels. bot of them are TN. it's a false description.
a 1ms reaction time screen is never IPS.

 

[n0ns3ns3]

he is right. IPS panels have 4-5ms response time.
as for your question, if you can comfortably afford the 1440p, go for it.

So is it safe to say the Dell monitor is better than the Acer Predator? I'm sorry if I might be asking the same question I just need confirmation since I'll be using this monitor for a very long time

 

[Isokolon]

if you're using it for "a long time" I'd go for the Dell. you can tune it down to 1080p and still looks alright until your card can handle 1440p.
we're at the verge of phasing out 1080p and jumping to 1440p. the next "GTX 1060" will most likely be targeted at the 1440p market. So the Dell is the smarter buy imo.

 

[n0ns3ns3]

from my experience, dell monitors are very well built. Acer monitors are just ok - more specs with less quality control.
anyway, 1440p@144Hz monitor will be good for many years to come. so just go for it.
