Hi, will I notice the difference between an 1ms TN panel and a 5ms IPS panel? Is the difference big between 1ms and 5ms? I play games like Battlefield 1, Star Wars Battlefront, GTA V and FIFA 17.

I already know IPS looks way better. That's why I want to buy an IPS monitor, but than I need to know the difference between 1ms and 5ms response time first.

well... the main difference is 4 ms 😛

are you going with a 144hz or a 60hz? i think the biggest difference will be the quality of the monitor. a higher quality ips with 5ms will look better than a lower quality ips.
high quality tn > low quality ips

Hi guys, I was planning on buying this monitor: LG 24MP68VQ-P or the LG 24MP68VQ.

Are those good IPS monitors as far as you may know? And both have 5ms response time. I have a TN panel with 60Hz and 1ms response time right now.

Both 75Hz. If I get one of those, I probably NEED to enable freesync to get 75Hz. But I have a gtx 1070. Will I run games at 75Hz with my gtx?

Well, I don't want to spent more money than 160 euros xd. Besides. I don't really need 144Hz because I will never hit 144 fps all the time. But I ordered a new monitor last week and returned it, because I didn't like the screen. It had 75Hz and the difference between my current 60Hz monitor was enormous. That's why I am asking if I will notice the difference between 1ms and 5ms will be.

i personally think that is a waste of 160 euros then. i think that money would be better spent on a ssd or headphones or a second monitor of hte same one you have now.

i dont think you'll notice the difference between 1 and 5 but you might

You might think that, but I noticed the difference between 60Hz and 75Hz and it was day and night. Gaming felt way smoother. But do you know, if I need to enable free sync to get 75Hz, will I get 75Hz with my nvidia gpu too?

Freesync only works on amd cards dude. You need a gsync screen with an nvidia if you want to go above 100 fps/hz
I really wouldn't rely on the response times claimed by manufacturers. Some are black to white some are grey to grey so you never know. A 5ms black to white time would be better than a 1ms g to g.
Generally an IPS screen is better than a tn.
The differences are barely noticeable and pointless. Wait till you can get a 144hz gsync screen that's a real advantage and a great upgrade for shooting games etc..

if you say so. if you NEED to enable free sync to get 75, then no. you'll be stuck at 60. if you can get to 75 without free sync, then your 1070 will be fine.

but so you know, at 1080p, a 1070 should easily keep almost any game above 144hz consistently

I've read that freesync also works with nvidia cards, but just not that good as it does with amd cards.

You can turn on vsync on a freesync screen and have a stable constant 75hz on a gtx. You just can't have the variable hz that matches the fps of the game you are playing like freesync and gsync do. It won't matter at 75. I imagine you can get a solid 75 easy. It's only needed when you get say 144 dropping to 100 fps throughout a game your monitor matches the fps.

The Netherlands. If you can't find any IPS panels, than TN will do. But it has to have 75Hz @1920x1080 at least.

And not the AOC G2260VWQ6, since I just returned that one. The white colors on that monitor had a yellowish tint to it..

The only thing I want is 75Hz @1920x1080 so I can lock my fps at 75 when enabling vsync. And 75Hz will feel way more smooth than 60Hz.

Thank you for your help guys. Unfortunately, I won't buy anything abroad.

I've just ordered the LG 24MP68VQ-P. If it's not how I want it to be, I can always return it. As long if I can play on 75Hz and lock my fps with vsync at 75fps, I will be happy! Thanks again, and have a great 2017!
