i have no idea about monitors. but i know im running some cheap $99 dell monitor ( 60hz ) that doesnt even have HDMI ( vga - dvi )

my price range would be somewhere around 200 tops

any suggestions?

what games do you play?
whats your gpu?

to add on

what cpu

and what resolution/refresh rate are you looking for
do you want ips for better color reproduction or do you not care

140hz or bust

I have an Acer 144hz, has more of a theater feel to it, my Asus 144hz is crisp as hell, i use it for most games and the Acer for netflix

unhelpful, to be frank

i have the vg248qe and would not suggest it.

cpu's hardly relevant.
what resolution is determined by his budget/gpu.

I have that asus monitor too ( 27" ) and would highly suggest it, its very affordable and does the job right

I bet you didnt even change your hardware settings to accept 144hz and its running 60hz thats why u mad

cpu limits min/max fps, gsync (out of budget, but still relevant for my point) and freesync become useful if his cpu and/or gpu is junk



i have them both set to 120hz so my gpu idles at 150mhz and 26c instead of 61c 1150mhz

the refresh rate is fine, the color reproduction no matter what icc profile or calibration i've done is abhorrent

1080p at 27" is terrible though i am sorry lmao

out of budget means its not fucking relevant to this thread, you know this yet you argue.
feels like ghot 2.0 up in here.

sorry, how much does freesync cost?
