I have been using an old Techwood TV for my ps4 and PC since 2007.
Looking to update and need something new but no idea whats better 1440p or 144hz or is it even worth it?
Whatever you do just make sure you get an ips monitor.
>>345226018
Is there really that big a difference between that and a TN?
>>345225835
Get one of those ultrawide monitors if you have the graphics card to push it.
get a 1440p 144hz. IPS is overrated, modern TN is fine.
>>345226096
Yes. There's a BIG difference. TN is shit it makes me want to vomit that I used it for so long. The colors are all wrong and tinted
TN is shit tier.
IPS is the modern standard.
>>345225835
I have been looking at these:
Asus VX278H 27
Asus MG279Q 27
But not sure how much worth there is in it.
Depending on your budget and preferences, I prefer a 1440p 60hz to a 1080p 144hz. I, however, splurged on a 1440p 144hz and I love it.
>>345226504
How does 144hz feel like
I mean most modern games ain't running at 144 fps at 1440p unless you have serious hardware but I'm sure shit like overwatch would
>>345226597
It's fucking crazy.
First time I tried a 144Hz monitor I spent a good 5 minutes moving my mouse in circles because I was amazed by how smooth the cursor moved.
>>345226018
Meh. For gaming a TN is fine. Especially if anon sits at a desk.
>>345226597
My monitor reset to 60, and it actually felt disgusting.
If you really want some good shit look into the 21:9 1440p monitors, though they are pricey.
>>345226597
Depends on the game but it's pretty sweet. There's a very noticeable difference between 60 fps and 120 fps. I wouldn't say it's as drastic as 30 to 60 but it's still really great
>>345227053
t. TN pleb
You know the problem with monitor? It's that they spoil us too much.
Someone who goes from TN to IPS won't be able to go back.
Someone who goes from 60Hz to 120/144Hz won't be able to go back.
Someone who goes from 1080p to 1440p/4k won't be able to go back.
IPS have backlight bleed. There is no getting around it as it is a 'feature' of the panels. Just don't get anxious when you notice it.
What video card do you have?
You need a decent one to make the most of 144hz.
Id get a 144hz so you're safe for the future when you get a boss video card
>>345227053
Not for me. Once I got an IPS, every game I played looked a lot better since the contrast and colors were they way they were meant to be displayed. Like tf2 back in that time.
In any case the next step is OLED but that shit is crazy expensive so ips is still the only option.
>>345227053
>top portion of the screen darker and discolored even when viewed directly dead center
>move your head an inch and the whole screen turns to shit
>fine
Kill yourself.
>inb4 my screen is JUST FINE
No, it's not. All TN screens suffer from this. They're trash, end of story.
>>345227489
>IPS have backlight bleed
So do TN screens. All LCD/LED screens can have backlight bleeding.
>>345227620
Not everyone has a wobblehead like you
IPS ON THE LEFT
TN ON THE RIGHT
THE CHOICE IS YAWS
>>345228323
TN looks good enough.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
>>345228323
TN is kino.
I have this one it is fucking tits. No quality issues whatsoever. It's fast, no backlight bleed, uniformly lit. Best TN I ever had. Actually prefer it over IPS glow.

>>345225835
Can I get a Gaymen PC that will run Witcher 3 on ultra in the £1,000 range?
>>345228714
144 hz btw, just saw the site doesn't explicitely state that.
>>345228714
Dude I have this too and it's fucking great. The little nub or whatever used to adjust settings is stupid as fuck though.
>>345225835
Current specs.
Besides the GPU I have just recently done some upgrading.
>>345228861
>The little nub or whatever used to adjust settings is stupid as fuck though.
OSD controls often are but honestly, how often do you touch that stuff? I never do. Only for switching it off. Pull it towards you two times, done. Do you have more than one device hooked up?
>>345226018
IPS are terrible for games. Ghosting everywhere.
>>345228818
Yes, thats screenshot was using 5 year old components with a GTX 970
>>345229070
Yeah I don't change the settings ever but I have my PS4 and Wii U also hooked up to it too.
>>345229227
Ah, I see. I only have my PC on it.
>>345228714
>24"
kek, you can't see shit from a tiny monitor like that.
>>345229227
>he buys more than one platform
pathetic little idiot
>>345229156
Sweet. I want to get into PC gaming, console gaming is trash at least as far as Sony and Microsoft are concerned.
>>345225835
IPS have worst contrast, see >>345228323
Get a VA panel instead with a 1440p resolution because 4k is still too laggy for gpus.
>>345229390
jokes on you, i got glaucoma
>>345229408
Why do you have to start flame wars? This thread was civil. I am not the same anon but please leave. We don't want your aggro.
dense 1440p monitors are great, you basically don't need anti-aliasing on games
or if you do, fxaa will suffice
>>345226018
This honestly if you want something mid-ranged, IPS is always nicer at that price point
>>345226597
It's a night/day difference. Everything from moving your cursor to playing shit like Hearthstone looks WAY smoother. To the point where if you can't run a game at 144hz, you will dislike the experience. 144hz will spoil most people. I would recommend people don't even look at one until it's more feasable to afford the hardware
>>345229767
>FXAA
Fuck off. SMAA or bust.
>>345229493
look into rx 480 for now, should be better than 970 in the long run
>>345229651
Sorry I'm just terminally dying and shitposting is all I can do to forget.
>>345225835

I have no regrets just make sure you have a graphics card that can power this beast. 100hz 21:9 1440p is the max for the 1.2 display port standard.
>>345230116
I'm sorry your dying but don't shit on other people please.
>>345230116
Drink alcohol. You'll forget AND speed up the process.
>>345230182
>21:9 AND curved
nah, man. you crazy. i won't go there.
>>345230393
21:9 ULTRAWIDE makes sense for curved 16:9 is unnecessary. Unless your running a 40 inch tv 3 feet from your face that is also an acceptable application for curves.
>>345227380
>Play a game locked at 30
>looks like a fucking powerpoint
>>345230669
i mean, sure. it isn't completely nonsensical. but i don't want a warped image. and i don't want to spend extra time fixing things for 21:9 to run properly in games. for desktop use i bet it's great though.
>>345230946
I bought because I knew I wouldn't have the money or hardware to drive 2 1440p monitors or space. If your running 2 monitors you'd have to pivot them towards you anyway. A curve is therefore more seamless.
To be quiet honest the warp is barely noticeable if not at all. The curve on the monitor isn't strong enough but it is enough to ensure the viewing angle is consistent as opposed to a 21:9 FLAT screen.
I can't fault you for worrying about 21:9 support for games though. It either does or doesn't or if it does its glitchy or awkward. You end up using 16:9 defeating the purpose entirely. When it does work though its fucking fantastic.
Basically a poor-man's dual monitor setup.
>>345226498
i have a vx and it is literally the best monitor for 200$ USD
>>345230302
Get cancer faggot
>>345230946
Forgot to add that 21:9 makes for a much better desktop experience though. So much more room to work with : )
>>345231797
yeah, i know a curve actually makes sense for viewing angles on an ultrawide pc monitor. just the idea of warping the image even it is only slightly kind of bothers me. but for home use and gaming it probably is a tolerable trade-off.
now i wonder though if the warping is more noticeable when playing 16:9 on that thing than when playing in 21:9.
>all these faggots trying to decide between TN and IPS, 144MHz and better color
Or you can not be a worthless piece of shit and have both
You want a 16:10 IPS display.
>>345232781
To be honest when I'm playing warthunder the wider FOV makes it a very comfy experience. 16:9 would be less distorted because it runs shorter then the 21:9 and the distortion is most prominent at the edges of the screen. Things seem to float away from the edge. If your face is to close to the screen (which for some reason I have the habit of slowly moving towards at less then 1-2 feet) you'll notice that the scroll bar to the right will slowly disappear.
Still I'm personally not bothered by it. Though given the 34" 21:9 nature I find that I'm turning my head more but from a functional perspective having 2 windows side by side is helpful and worth it. From a gaming perspective of a 21:9, you gain more information then you would from a 16:9.
>>345233080
>Acer
OP hands down the best monitor I've owned and am currently using is the Dell U2415. All these gaming shills bitching about MUH SUPER HIGH RATES AND MUH DELAY are fucking dumb gaming babbies. Color is the most important thing by far. You probably don't have the hardware necessary to run a monitor at a framerate that makes having a high refresh rate necessary, and as somebody who games just fine on this monitor, you don't need a 1ms delay monitor to have a good gaming experience.
Now, I have a U2415 because I like 16:10 displays, but even if you don't like it. (It has some of the best colors on the market though) don't fall for the 144Hz meme. Hell, don't even fall for the "larger than 1080p" meme if you don't have hardware that can support it. It's not worth it, and just shills shilling for shit because they want to show off their epeen.
>>345235024
>he doesn't know what the XB270HU is
>144 MHz is a meme!
Anyone taking advice from this faggot deserves the shit monitor they end up with
>>345226018
If there is an IPS 1080p 144hz, sure.
>>345225835
144hz is better for action heavy games, 1440p is better if all you want is much graphix.
TN after calibration is acceptable. IPS has its own set of problems like backlight bleed and a glowing effect around the edges. If you want a large monitor you're making tradeoffs, period. If the OLED burnout problem ever gets solved, it would be the better option, but otherwise you have to be wiling to replace it in about two years.
>>345235024
>Says 1 ms is for a good gaming experience
>Says 144hz is a meme
The other way around, bud.
I got DELL SE2416H. That's best I could afford because I'm a poor slav. Yet it's fucking great. Go for it if you're poor. It's cheapest decent "24 IPS monitor.
>>345235703
>MHz and resolution are mutually exclusive
>>345236031
Read the OP again faggot. Obviously both is better, but you need a pretty recent GPU to pull it off.
>>345225835
Acer XF270HU 27
Thoughts on this with my 970 as it worth to not use freesync?
>>345236543
>nvidia
>freesync
>>345236031
Unless you have shit tons of money to blow on a $800 1440p 144hz monitor, they kind of are.
>>345235443
>Shitty overpriced acer trash like every single thing Acer puts out
>spending money on a higher refresh rate rather than color accuracy
>especially when most modern games can't run above 60 FPS on modern hardware anyways
kekking. In order of most important things
Color Accuracy > Brightness > Pixel Density > Response time (within reason) > Refresh Rate > Precise Response time (under 5 ms)
Why pay for more than you need?like 700 for a fucking Acer monitor? (^:
>>345235828
Read it again - 1ms is certainly a meme. I'd say any more than 5-6 is getting pretty up there.
144 Hz is a meme because if you're not pulling a high framerate, then you are essentially wasting your money. Hell, most modern games struggle to hit 60 FPS on a 980 or AMD equivalent. And that's certainly not going to get better through the ages.
You're better off paying for a 1440p monitor with good colors.
>>345236812
Oh, I'm stupid.
>>345236812
God you are a fucking retard aren't you
The XB270HU is a 144MHz IPS monitor ith a 4 ms response time
Meaning I do have everything you have, and better
>>345226597
Depends on the game, but for me:
I don't notice too much of a difference between 60 FPS and 100 FPS, but once it hits around 110 FPS I do start to see a major difference.
Past that, it is relatively minor, but you WILL tell a major difference from switching to 60 FPS to 120 FPS. I notice it a lot more with shooters, to be honest. MMOs like WoW, or some action games where the movements are tied to 60 FPS do not have much of a difference, but it does feel a bit smoother.
>>345229095
Never used an IPS monitor or used some piece of shit second hand one.
I really only want a monitor with 1440p, 4ms or less respose ( would like 2ms), ips, and 100-144hz at a decent price. I think I could go down to 75hz if that made it a decent price.
I've had an ips 1440p for a few years, but it's only a 60hz 6ms unit (75hz at 1080, which i use sometimes). I don't think I can go back to tn, even for the high refresh/low latency.
>>345236658
I know my Nvidia card cant use the free sync, the question is would the monitor still be worth it without free sync enabled?
>>345235680
With <4ms latency I would get this. I dont think this exists though. TN is good for low latency and high refresh rates, but has shit color.
>>345237505
the XB270HU uses G-SYNC, not freesync
