Hello All,
Feel a bit jack joining and asking for advice straight away, hopefully I can help some other people out going forward
I'm currently rocking a S23B50 (23" TN panel with a 3 ms response time) powered by a GTX 1060 6 GB and a Ryzen 3 1300X.
It's getting a bit long in the tooth and I'm looking to upgrade but am stuck in the conundrum of response time vs image/colour quality as I enjoy a lot of R6 Siege but also single player games like Fallout and Mass Effect.
My current monitor seems fine in Rainbow Six for responsiveness but in Fallout etc when I compare to friends rigs with similar specs who game on living room TV's their picture is noticeably better than mine.
I'm happy enough with the size , although want to go to 24" this time.
Also happy sticking at 1080p with its associated FPS buffs, I upgraded from a FX-4300 so I'm actually living in the future at this point!
My budget is approx £200
I was tempted by a LG 24MP59G which lists a response time of 1ms and is also IPS which should solve my quality problem, however I think that I'd only get 1ms with their 'blur reduction' turned on? This seems to have a very unpleasant strobing effect which I'm not willing to put up with:
Is this right and if so how playable would siege be with it turned off? It's specs are confusing to say the least with multiple times listed!
Response Time_Typ. (on/off): 14ms(Typ)
(GTG): 5ms (Virtual 1ms with MBR)
Other than that I considered a straight upgrade to the Samsung S24D330H, detailed reviews are a bit thin on the ground though, will this have pretty much the same image quality issues as my current monitor or will it be much better being newer?
My third thought was to go dual monitor, keeping my current screen for Rainbow Six etc and buying an IPS panel for single player games?
What are peoples thoughts? Are there any other suggestions for screens that fit the bill?
Many Thanks in advance for any help!
