Need Help With Choosing A Monitor (Quick Question)

[Lekron]

Whats up everyone, 

 

I am looking to purchase a new gaming monitor for my computer (i7 9700k w/ EVGA RTX 2080 Super) and I can't decide on certain specs.

 

I mainly play games like Overwatch, PUBG, Call of Duty, Battlefield, and World of Warcraft. I know I want a 27 inch 1440p monitor, but I can't decide if I should go for a newer 240hz with g sync (https://www.lenovo.com/us/en/accessories-and-monitors/monitors/gaming/Y27gq-25A19270QY0-27-Monitor-HDMI-SPK/p/65EDGAC1US) (999$), a g sync with 165hz, or skip the g sync entirely and go with the HP omen 1440p with 240hz.

 

Im newer to the pc gaming side of things, so I need your guys help in terms of how much of a difference there is between 165hz to 240hz and g sync versus no g sync.

 

Thank you in advance.

First, what's your budget? Location? Also 1440p 144hz on a 27" inch is for more cinematic games but you still play competitive. 240hz is if you are esports level or very competitve player for esports titles. You can get free sync monitors for cheaper since they support VRR now. I recommend the 1440p 144hz. Some good ones are LG GL850 Nano ips the pixel response time is low. Viotek GN27DB great colors. MSI MAG271CQR great all around VA curved monitor. PG279qz is great all around ~600$

I would go with 1440p 144/165 Hz with some form of adaptive sync. Unless you're playing competitively 240 Hz is probably not necessary (and might not even be achievable in all games anyways). If you are playing competitively most go 1080p 240 Hz anyways.

 

Adaptive sync is nice so you still get a smooth experience in more demanding games where you can't run at the monitors max refresh rate all the time.

I can spend anywhere from 600-1000$. Yeah I play competitive games, but Im no pro that's for sure haha. Im thinking g sync since I will have a nvida card. Thank you very much for your help, I have been searching for answers everywhere haha

Awesome, thank you for your help. I'm now thinking of 165hz 1440p with g sync for sure.
