Okay /g/, I implore you to help me in finding a good monitor.
Please take a look, I'm probably just gonna end up buying something awful without your assistance.
Let's get right down to some info I can give you.
>size
24", I sit about 2 feet away from the monitor so I feel 27" would be slightly too much. Currently on only 21.5" and feeling okay with that so I'm sure 24" would be great
>rig I have
gigabyte 2gb windforce 770gtx
4670k cpu
>features and how it'll be used
Mostly for games with the odd tiny bit of photoshop work. Watching some videos.
I play the occasional Battlefield and such, but usually it's more RPGs, platformers or weird Japanese games.
If I can hit above 60fps I'd rather make the game look better than try to hit 120fps or something. So I think getting a 144hz display, especially given my not so new card, wouldn't make that much sense. I heard 60fps on a 144hz might look worse than 60 on 60hz too, but that's just what I saw on the net.
I don't need it to have speakers, I don't need to be able to rotate it around or anything fancy like that.
>budget
I'm in Krautland. No firm or set budget but I didn't want to empty my whole wallet over it, if it could be around 500€ or under that would be nice.
If you need any other info, please ask. Glad for any helpful suggestions. Just want my games and occasionally other things to look great and smooth.

Just go on amazon enter in 24" and 1080 or 1440p or whatever and grab best looking one with the best reviews in your price range.
Any "features" on a monitor besides G Sync, high refresh rate, or like TN versus IPS panel is probably a gimmick.
Korean 1440p ips

Amazon reviews are an odd thing. You get the people who review it after 1 day who go "wow it's working perfectly no problems!" and you get people who give it the lowest rating because of some odd issue they encountered.
Still, that's what I would have probably went and done yeah.
How do you feel about 144hz? Would it be worth it for those games I can run at more than 60fps?
Would it make 60fps look worse and less smooth than a 60hz?
>>51493340
I'm not so sure abut 1440p being a good idea with my card in mind
>>51493341
I use a 2560x1440 monitor that is 144hz and I have no problems and I'm using a gtx 780ti. I would recommend it.

You will need to get educated on how to overclock your monitor before you use it to it's full potential though. It is a nice monitor and I have two of them. Not overpriced and not cheap low quality shit like what most /g/tards buy. I don't know if there's a 24" version of this monitor though.
>>51493491
Hmm that reaction time though.
>>51493311
>TN versus IPS panel is probably a gimmick.
Oh boy.
>>51493340
If you like 20 dead pixels in your screen, sure.
>>51493491
This one seems alright

He said features other than refresh rate or IPS are a gimmick
>>51495261
Sorry
>>51494071
I heard that the image fades if it has been used much
>>51493373
The monitor he suggested can be had for 188 euros. You could buy a good gpu with the difference.
>I feel 27" would be slightly too much
Yeah you could think that when you haven't tried it. Even a 40" isn't too much. Bigger is better.
>>51493491
I've heard that korean monitors with more than one video input have input lag of up to two frames. Is this true? Thinking about pulling the trigger on this one.

[Spoiler]nah but forreal 144hz is so nice[/spoiler]
if your GPU can run games above 60 FPS then you can go looking for 144HZ monitor but with much worse image quality, like having a yellow-ish screen when its supposed to be white. IPS monitors is what my bet is on but more expensive
>>51496393
Its called Tearing, this can be stopped as most games have v-sync to counter this
>TN panels
No
>>51496393
I've had no problems with it. No lag at all.
>>51497257
I've read claims that some of the new TN panels look pretty much as good as IPS. I say this as an IPS user.
>>51497236
Huh? What does that have to do with tearing?
He's talking about the monitors that take, e.g. DVI-D, HDMI, and DisplayPort. Therefore, they necessarily have some kind of circuit board in there that translates them to the screen. This translation takes some time.
Whether or not that time is perceptible is arguable. Many people have claimed it is. Personally, I don't believe for a second that it's more of an issue than the poorer response time of IPS/LPS panels.

Thanks that's what I meant; I think I'll just wait to see what screens go on sale in the coming days before I make a concrete decision.
>>51498369
>Thanks that's what I meant
Then why did you say tearing? Tearing is what you get when you write to the frame buffer while the current frame is still being drawn. You get part of the old frame, and part of the new frame.
The original question was about latency introduced by the circuit, which has absolutely nothing to do with tearing whatsoever.
Unless you're saying that the delay causes it to somehow fall out of sync with the vertical blanking interval.
>>51498492
nah senpai I'm the anon who asked the question.
>>51498689
Oh, gotcha, sorry. I want that other dumbfuck to get in here and explain himself.
>>51498840
we all do
