  1. Can understand that - so seems like I may lean more toward 1080p. On this topic as well - is it reasonable to run a single 144Hz monitor and 2 60Hz? I tried it with my current setup and windows seemed a bit jittery when moving between them. Some research makes this seem somewhat common - but is this generally a poor use case?
  2. Appreciate the reply @Gohardgrandpa. I mentioned in my original post that I'm really looking for something smaller than 27". Having one of them on my desk sounds overwhelming to me personally, never-mind 2 or 3 in a multi-monitor setup. It seems like 1440p 144Hz just might not exist in a smaller screen? If not, I'd have to target 144Hz, 1080p IPS under 27" - if possible.
  3. Thank you very much for the information @smilevi. I like the look of the Viewsonic - I think that is winning over the options I had found. I do find myself wondering now if I should spend a bit more for the 144Hz, so I don't need to buy monitors again too soon, as you said. If I went for 144Hz 1440p, or even 144Hz 1080p, what would you recommend? I am struggling to find anything under 27", which I still think will be too much for how I like my desk to be set up. With your above recommendations, should I be worried about running 3x 1440p 60Hz on my hardware? Would it make more sense to run them at 1080 until I upgrade in this area? (GTX 1070ti, i7-4770k)
  4. As the title suggests, I recently purchased an Acer XF250Q. I was in the market for new monitors after two of my ~10yr old Asus vh226h died. After using the XF250Q for over 2 weeks, I just don't feel happy with it. I've spent hours adjusting colors and they dont feel great, the brightness feels overwhelming sometimes, while darks feel impossible to see in other instances. I feel like my eyes have been more strained as well. The only part I do like is the build quality and frame-less form factor. I want to try something else before I commit to buying more for my 3 monitor set-up, but am not sure what else to get. I'm currently using an Acer R240HY that I had on another setup, a lower end monitor that honestly looks nicer - I'm guessing because it is IPS. But I am willing to spend a bit more for better performance, if it is actually warranted. I want something in the 21"-25". No larger, as I like to sit close and find large screens to be too much. I also used to play competitive FPS and like to be able to view the whole field of vision without having to actually look around at different parts of the monitor. I did ideally want to move to 144Hz, but find myself wondering if its worth it for me. I never had issue with my old 60Hz monitors, and largely play WoW/do office work these days. I do very much like the frameless form factors, so am trying to find something that features this as well. I debated 1440p as well, but that isnt as important to me as quality of the screen. I am running all this off of a GTX 1070ti, and an i7-4770k. I do have concerns that I wouldnt be able to push 3x 1440p monitors with this. For options, I am considering the following: Acer R240HY Asus VC239H BenQ GW2480 Dell P2418D Dell U2518D Dell U2417H Or am I wrong to write off TN panels and the Acer I have just has particularly bad settings? Or does someone out there have settings that will save this monitor -- I've searched and tried different suggestions to no avail. Any help with be so greatly appreciated. I just want a solid monitor experience again.
