1440p vs 240hz, which to get?

[Slazyel]

Hi guys,

 

Would like to know if it would be better to buy a Dell S2719DGF (27, 1440p, 155hz) or a Alienware 2518hf(24.5, 1080p, 240hz). The dell is about $100 dollars more where i live, so, what do you think? Sadly both are TN but i heard those have great tn panels.

 

Currently i own a acer Predator X34, but i will sell it because i think its too big for gaming where i sit.

 

My rig contains a i5 9600k, 16gb ram and a 1080 ti.

 

I mostly play online and/or competitive games like LOL, Overwatch, Battlefield V,etc. Sometimes i play single player and coop games too like Anthem, Mmorpgs, etc.

1440p 144hz more enjoyable, and if you can find a IPS panel for a similar price even better

I never found 240 Hz to be a noticeable increase in Fluidity - YES you can tell a difference if they are side by side but not really a big WOW effect like comparing 60 and 100+ Hz is.

 

1440p however is a nice increase in clarity

 

As Shimejii said before i would look for an IPS panel though - even good TN isnt THAT great and the prices for IPS really have come down in recent months. ^^

Difference between 144Hz and 240Hz is pretty noticeable to me. I recommend both. Wait for the monitor Lenovo released at CES. It is both 2K and 240Hz. Though the panel is TN I’m pretty sure.

bfv caps out at 200fps just sayin

I'm in the same boat, but I'm going with 1440p 144hz.

Why not both

Expensive 8 and 10bit (8bit+A-FRC) TN panels have great color for gaming. It is the 6 bit panels that have the bad color. 

 

I went with a 1440p 144hz VA monitor.

I got one for $530 on Black Friday.

The only reason I went 32" is because my 4k monitor is 32" and at some point they will be on the same desk.

What about 8bit (6 bit + frc)like the aw2518hf?

[jones177]

Don't know.

 

I would not own one because I now buy monitors without seeing them in person. When I bought the TN panels I saw them demoed.  I would not take the risk of going below those specs because a lot of people complain about TN picture quality and I have nothing to complain about with my 8 bit and 8 bit+a-frc panels. 

 

My 8 bit 1440p TN panels are ASUS PB277Q.

My 2 8bit+A-FRC TN 4k panels are an ASUS MG28UQ and a Samsung U28E590D. The panels are from the same manufacturer.

 

These panels hold up beside my 8bit and 8bit+A-FRC VA panels.
