144hz 1080p Monitor Help

[ANewFace]

I am going to buy a monitor for myself for my birthday in a few weeks. So I am not going to go crazy with like a 1440p G-Sync monitor, or anything like that. I just want a 24in 144hz 1ms 1080p monitor. I know the Asus VG248QE is a legendary monitor for this catagory, nut there are some other options form Acer, BenQ, and AOC. Is the VG248QE still my best option or is another one better?

When it comes to the high end 1080p monitors like what you're looking for, it comes down to aesthetics and quirks that Linus commonly points out in his monitor reviews.

The only 144hz monitor I was able to experience was the VG248QE, I don't see why it wouldn't be a good choice for someone looking at that refresh rate.

@ANewFace I've got the VG248QE sitting right here next to my XB270HU

 

I loved the monitor while it was my daily driver, but man the colors on it are just way off. It's crazy how you don't notice how bad something is until you know what else is out there.

 

I was regularly using the GAME preset, and once I got it side by side my IPS panel, the blues where nearly purple and the whites had an orange tint to them. It pestered me so much I spent a day tweaking the colors trying to get them to match my IPS panel. I ended up with some acceptable results, but just keep this in mind if you are still interested in these kinds of panels. 

 

The vertical viewing angles introduce lots of color shift, so you'll want to find the perfect height for your eye levels.

 

Still a great monitor, 7/10 if i had to give it a rating, and that's simply because I now own a IPS panel, whereas before I didn't

If IPS isn't an issue for you then the VG248QE is in my opinion your best choice. It was my standard monitor befor I upgraded to the ROG Swift. That being said MRBucket101 is right it will need some adjustment for colors. It didn't take long to get it adjusted tho, and once I did I was happy with the results.

using 3x xl2420z here color isnt as bad as the asus, reason I went with them

LG 24GM77, has much better input lag (when Dynamic Action Sync is on) than Asus and colors are a bit better. The Asus is G-sync upgradable with a DIY kit if I'm not wrong, but to me Refresh Rate syncing is not that important on 1080p since 2x GPUs can almost always push out 144+fps.

Is what I'm using ATM untill the new acer predator ultrawide comes out. Only complaint I have is the touch buttons.

Check here the VG248QE is really bad compared to the newer 144hz displays.

The BenQ is good but the LG is a bit better overall, thanks to its late release.

I really like my LG W2353V.
