Read about 1/5th of the thread tbh.


Getting a 144hz monitor just for desktop use / light gaming... Is a waste of money IMO.


If you got the extra cash, Why not? But if you're on a budget, There's many other PC items you could get for the $500 144hz premium @ 1440p.

You can't really compare 120hz tv's to monitor 120hz though.. As there really are no TRUE 120hz Tv's. They typically are limited to 60hz input at the most, And just refresh the same frame multiple times.


I'm not saying get a 4k, IMO 1440>4k ATM due to limitation of hardware / 4k content.




Qnix + Vesa mount + 96hz+ overclock for like $350~ is pretty legit though.


Getting 4k for desktop use / light gaming is not a waste tho?
His already running an Asus PB278Q 1440p IPS 385$. And using a gtx 1080 600$. Really doubt he wanna get a budget monitor.


Sure there is true 120hz tv's out there. Sure pretty much all tv's use interpolation. But normally a 240hz would be a true 120hz using interpolation.

Sony: MotionFlow
120Hz for 60Hz native refresh and 240Hz for 120Hz native refresh


Samsung: Motion Rate
120Hz for 60Hz native refresh and 240Hz for 120Hz native refresh


LG: TruMotion
120Hz for 60Hz native refresh and 240Hz for 120Hz native refresh


Vizio: “Effective Refresh Rate”
120Hz for 60Hz native refresh and 240Hz for 120Hz native refresh
Vizio also offers a so-called “Clear Action” rate that’s twice even the reprocessed “Effective refresh rate”, with values like 480Hz and 720Hz for native 60Hz content and 960Hz for native 120Hz displays. These numbers are meaningless and simply exist to impress potential buyers with their size. Effective refresh rate and native refresh rate are what actually matters in Vizio 4K TVs.

To each their own, But IMO <-- light gaming/ desktop use is a waste of a $700 144hz monitor.



When i say 'true 120hz' i mean, There is pretty much no TV that actually accepts over 60hz input. So at best, you're just refreshing 60hz twice.

Well amazing quality. But thats a product for true professional artists. Who need color accuracy on a such a high level.
For regular use its not worth the money for such color accuracy and the features.

high refresh rates >

24" with a TN panel tho. Would be close to a downgrade from his current monitor.

a gtx 1080 would also be considered a waste for light gaming og desktop use. but this guy already have a 400$ 1440p IPS monitor. And his looking to upgrade.
You can't go ahead and recommend similar specs or lower specs then.

Still there is actually 120hz on a lot of modern TV's.

lets take the Samsung KS9000 as an example.
its has "motion rate 240hz" its an interpolation technology. Means half of the frames will be played twice. Tho it has a true native 120Hz refresh rate.
All new generation Sony TV's uses true 120Hz panels.

Yeah I see it says IPS in the description. Under specs it's says no IPS.

And its kinda weird, not once is the actual model mentioned.
Was able to google it: S2417DG

Seems decent for TN http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/dell-s2417dg-24-inch-165hz-g-sync-gaming-monitor,4788.html

The KS9000 doesnt accept a 120hz input.

You're not understanding what I'm saying...


Yes, They actually refresh 120 times a second... NO, they dont support 120hz INPUT. So at best, you're just showing 60fps twice. Typically 24-30 though, Since most tv/movies/etc are that.



And again, I've used "IMO"

You're free to think $500 more for desktop 144hz is worth it, But I don't.


And this is coming from someone who Owns a 1440p 144hz monitor, Had a 120hz qnix too at one point.
