Because i bet if he would have went with a 144hz monitor.. he probably wouldn't have to return these 60hz ones
:rofl: :rofl: but im just a frugal "clueless pos" right? right?? :rofl:
I won't be purchasing a monitor for 144hz. I would be willing to pay up to a 20% price increase for 144hz, but not at a trade-off of other features (IPS, LED, resolution, etc). The monitors are more than sufficient at 60hz. My graphics card does between 39 and 90 fps on Overwatch at 2560x1440 (with settings mostly at high/ultra), and usually hovers around 55fps. Hearthstone is the only other game I play at the moment.
I'm not that great at aiming in the first place, so 60hz has been fine. I don't game too much, and Overwatch has been nice at 60fps. I understand there would be some benefit, but the money is more valuable to me.
I am considering a few options:
• Option 1: Exchange monitor #2 for a replacement, but stick with the setup
• Option 2: Exchange monitor #1 & #2 for replacements, but stick with the setup
• Option 3: Return both monitors & wait on something else
• Option 4: Return monitor #2, and keep monitor #1 as a single-monitor setup for leisure use... and wait on a double or triple 25" monitor setup for work purposes
I am finding 31.5" is a bit distractingly large for work. Another option is to use one 31.5" screen, and two identical 25" screens; that option seems interesting to me, because I do find I use one "main" screen whenever I work, and every other screen is supplementary.
Problem is I'll be working on monitor #2, an Excel file. Then I need to read a PDF on monitor #1, which is on the very left of that monitor. The white of the PDF has a gradient that gets darker, and I have to move myself so that the backlight appears even. Then I look back to the Excel file, and I have to again readjust myself so the backlight appears even on that screen. Not good.
