Sup /g/,
Never posted here before but just need an answer to a simple question, as I've Googled it and gotten mixed answers.
Basically I'm upgrading to a 1080p monitor with 144Hz capabilities as I've been stuck using an old 1080p HDTV for a long time and want an upgrade.
Basically I don't know what cable I need, most people are saying DVI-D is needed, which is fine, but my Xbox One came with a HDMI 2.0 cable, would that be able to run 1080p at 144Hz or should I just go with the DVI? And could I expect a ~£300 ASUS monitor to come with said cable or should I just buy one separately?
Thanks mane(s).

Are you seriously buying a 144hz monitor for your Xbox One?
Are you retarded or do you just hate your money?
>>51262043
Nope it's for PC, the cable just came with my Xbox, probably should have mentioned that...
>>51262025
144hz does not work on Xbox the maximum it can run is 60hz, shitpost
>>51262067
Alright.
Well, the cable doesn't actually matter much. It's all 1s and 0s anyway.
Also, 144hz is a meme. I'd recommend a 1440p screen over a 144hz screen, or both if you're ready to spend.
You'll actually notice a difference with 1440p over 1080p, as opposed to 60fps vs 144fps.
>>51262025
If you can use a display port it is the best otherwise use dvi d
>>51262090
I'm not too fussed by resolution, I'm happy with the quality of 1080p, I'm sure a better DPI on a monitor compared to a HDTV will be a nice enough performance increase for me.
How much of a performance difference will I see between 1080p @60Hz to 1080p @144Hz, and also 1080p @60Hz to 1440p @60Hz? I'm running a GTX980 so I'm sure it can take the extra load, but I am a whore for smoothness and framerate.
>>51262025
Not sure about this but Hdmi 2.0 differs from 1.4 only in resolution since it can reach 4K. The only ports capable of 144hz are DVI (Double link) and Displayport. I do also have a 144hz screen and I have encountered no problems using DVI

Depends on what you're playing. If you're struggling to reach 60fps now, you can forget about 144hz screens, because it won't add any value.
The screen's refresh rate (Hz) is only an indicator to how many frames the screen is capable of showing. If your computer can barely pump out 60 frames per second today, a 144hz screen won't do anything.
It's a peripheral.
There's also the fact that 144fps won't do you any good unless you play FPS games at a competitive level.
>>51262169
Most games I sit well above 60fps at max settings, I play quite a few racing sims which rarely drop below 60fps, a few shooters that tend to sit in the ~70-80fps range. Really, the most FPS challenging game I play is something like DayZ mod.
Maybe I will try the higher resolution then, would it be easier to run those extra pixels than the additional frames oh the refresh rate?
>>51262169
Also probably worth mentioning that I'm looking for a monitor about 27", I'm currently using a 37" TV so whether the resolution increase will be all that noticeable I'm unsure. Does the higher resolution help with the removal/reduction of jaggies and whatnot?
Don't believe the shitters when they say monitors with high Hz is a meme.
Go into a shop and see one in action if you have to, they're neat!
And they're invaluable to FPS players
>>51262090
False, faggot. Higher Hz is definitely noticable. Proven by amateur tests aswell as scientific tests done by the US military.
Stop spreading false information on the interwebs.
These threads are always garbage.
STOP POSTING YOUR OPINIONS OUTSIDE OF ANSWERING THE GOD DAMN QUESTION.

HDMI only supports up to 60hz so you need preferably a Displayport cable or a DVI-D as second best due to being finicky some times and they're clunky. HDMI 2.0 can support 4K 60hz while 1.4 is only 24hz max for 4K but none of this matters to you. Get cheap Amazon Basics or Mono price Display port cables or anything else they're all the same shit other than cable diameter/flat design or length and color. Most of the fancy ones are annoying to use and break faster.
>Get a fucking DisplayPort cable it's 2015
>>51262801
Thanks man, so would you say higher hertz is more preferable to slightly higher res? I've been running a low DPI 1080p for some time so I think even just a higher DPI 1080p on a smaller monitor will be a jump in quality for me.
>>51262090
The cable does matter
>>51262025
Best would be to get a Displayport cable. It can handle 1080p at 240hz, so I guess 144hz wouldn't be a problem. And I think Dp can also handle 4K at 144hz. So it would even be future-proof, if you treat the cable with a little care it'll probably last you until you get tired of PCs altogether.
High Hz monitors look awesome but they don't make you a 1337 pr0 in CS:Gay
There is a noticeable difference between 60 and even 120hz, but it's not that useful. However 2K/4K are not amazing choices for gaming either, as they also require you to have a decent rig.
In any case don't expect any console to go past the 60Hz refresh rate or 1080p resolution. Just like consoles don't support 21:9 aspect ratios. God, why are they so limited nowadays?
>>51262090
I'd get that vision checked. 144Hz on content like a fast paced shooter which runs at 144fps or higher is a night and day like difference compared to 60Hz monitor. That combined with low input lag and fast response time is such a joy to use in twitch shooters. Of course if your computer is not used for such games the higher refresh rate is completely useless and you are better off spending your money on better image quality.
>>51263498
Don't play CS anyway, I just want a smooth image really.
>>51262801
>Grab a new monitor with 2 HDMI ports and a DP port
>Includes an HDMI cable
>Looks ok, but somehow both hackintosh and linux just don't want to work with it
>Buy a DP cable
>It's exactly the same thing, now supported
>On windows everytime I turn it off/on I get errors from Catalyst
Well damn, why does the DPI cable behave so it thinks that turning the monitor off means unplugging it?
Do you think there'll be deals on any of the quality 120/144 hz monitors on cyber monday?
I'd really advise you not to buy it. Get a good 1080-60hz monitor and you are ready to go.
Yes, they are cool but it is hardly noticeable and solid 60 fps are just as good.
I myself returned an ASUS VG248 last month because it is just not worth the money
>>51265846
>good 1080-60hz monitor
examples
>>51265846
The money shouldn't be much of an issue as I can put it through work.
>>51266512
I'm afraid I don't have any special recommendations. I mean that as long as it works fine, a 1080-60 should do very very well.
>>51266525
But you could spent the third part of that and spend that money on something else.
Some people willtell you that 144hz are amazing and some will tll you otherwise. As I said, after trying it, it just not worth it.
>>51265846
You're a reddit user, aren't you?
>>51266512
No such thing.
>>51262090
144hz is not a meme when gaming at 144fps. Otherwise yeah, its useless i guess.
>>51266641
kek, fortunately that was not my case
>>51262090
144Hz is immediately obvious as soon as your mouse (be sure to increase your mouse sample rate to at least 288Hz). It's recommended even if you do nothing but web browsing.
>>51262090
Shit opinions general?
>>51266704
I never truly understood the rate thing enough. Got myself a SS Rival and the thing can go up to 1000hz, I have a 120hz monitor and a 60hz monitor. I couldn't really notice much of a difference between 125 and 1000.
>>51266601
what about ghosting, blur, input lag etc
I was under the impression that most 144hz panels excel in those
>>51266854
Move the mouse fairly slowly and as steadily as possible without tracking it with your eyes (look at something on the screen that's not moving, so you see multiple cursor images). Note how even the spacing between the cursor images is. At 1000Hz it is very even, at 125Hz it is much less so.
>>51266895
I see what you mean. I used to have a MX518 that would kinda skip a few of these images, maybe because it was locked at 125.
>>51266641
Holy shit is stupid. First thing i did when i got mine was set it to 144hz.
might as well ask here
whats the best cheap 144hz monitor option?
asus vg248qe?
I have this monitor, AMA. I seem to remember it coming with a DVI-D cable. As long as your computer has a dual-link DVI port, use that. I'm pretty sure 144hz over HDMI isn't supported.
>>51267620
I have it. That one or the BenQ XL2411Z, same panel. Get whichever one is cheaper.
