1080p 144Hz TN + GUNNAR vs 1440p 60Hz ?

[DTV998]

Hello! :lol:

So I'm gonna upgrade my cheap old 1080p TN 60Hz panel, but I haven't quite decided with what.

When I was planning to upgrade some months ago, I was thinking of a 144/120 Hz panel. But when I got my iphone 6, I was blown away with the nice deep blacks and vivid colors. So than I started thinking of an IPS panel..and then with that 1440p.

So while I do very much enjoy nice vivid colors, I would also like to play in those smooth higher refresh rates. And while I've seen/used some great IPS panels (I especially really enjoyed the 27'' 1440p iMac at our school), I have never used a monitor with more than 60Hz.And then one day, a classmate of mine told me that he loves his 144Hz TN panel with his gaming gunnar glasses that make all the colors pop.

So yeah, I'm a big gamer (I play FPS games the most, but lots of others as well) and I love watching content, whether it's Movies, youtube...

So I really don't know what to do.

1. Go for a nice 1440p60 IPS monitor
2. For a 1080p144 TN monitor + some gaming glasses :rolleyes:
3. Or maybe even for like 2 IPS 1080p60 panels.. :huh:

My budget is like 400$. So what do you guys think?

Thank you so much for reading this!

Gunnars do not make colours pop, they make everything yellow and warm - I have them and I hate using them for anything colourful, besides 144hz displays should make things easier on your eyes

 

that said, I prefer 1440p especially for monitors over 24"

 

there are some 144hz 1440p IPS panels coming if you can wait

How much will they cost? Because something like the ROG Swift would be perfect, but too expensive..

Some monitors have a low blue light mode which effectively does the same thing as Gunnars, except without having to wear glasses. I am skeptical about how much either of those improves the experience anyway.

I'd recommend waiting for a 1440p 144Hz IPS monitor and get the best of both worlds, if your budget is high enough anyway. The MG279Q will launch at around 600 USD.

no idea! will be cheaper than the swift as they are not gysnc they are using freesync so should be quite a bit cheaper

 

if not personally I prefer 1440p over 144hz... but im not a competitive gamer

Yea, honestly I might just wait for that one

btw, Should I spend extra to get the G-sync monitor? Because I have an Nvidia GPU not AMD...

Get the 1080p 144hz, if you care about smoothness. I honestly don't know how people say 60fps is smooth, 60fps gameplay is choppy, it irritates me so much.
