Hey guys, just like the title suggests I'm in the market for a good 144hz gaming monitor at either 1080p or 1440p.

 

I've been looking at a ton of monitors lately but just not sure what to exactly go for. Ideally I'd like something that has 1ms response times with no ghosting issues, is smaller than 30", isn't curved and doesn't have abysmal colour quality.

 

Thank you in advance for any help :)

I'd get 1440p 144Hz just so the monitor will stay relevant for a longer time

This one is the cheapest one, it's 27"(perfect for 1440p), and is an IPS panel. That means it should have superb colour reproduction. Has 1ms repsonse time(doesn't really matter tbh, 5ms and below is unnoticeable) 

 

Are you planning on gaming on this. If yes, are you sure your PC can handle over 60FPS at 1440p?

Hi there, thanks for the suggestion :)

 

I posted a few weeks back for a recommendation on a computer build where I mentioned that the initial intent was for 144hz 1080p but for the most part it appears that it will handle high frame rate 1440p gaming.

 

CPU: Ryzen7 3700x

GPU: Sapphire Nitro+ RX5700XT

Motherboard: Asus Prime X570-P

Ram: Corsair Vengeance LPX 16GB 3600mhz

Sorry I was using my phone and accidentally commented rather than replying but please refer to what I wrote above :)

Ok, should be absolutely fine. The parts look good. This should be able to run 1440p without issues, but don't expect 144FPS at ultra on every single AAA game, you should hit above 100FPS by lowering the graphics down to High-Very High(which doesn't have much difference anyway).

Sugest you only consider monitors that have been thoroughly tested and reviewed.

places like rtings.com and tftcentral.co.uk are good places to look.

Rtings in particular has a good search and filter tool.

An important thing to understand is that manufacturer specs are always very misleading in regards to response time. You could grab 10 different monitors, all with specs that indicate 1ms response time, and they will all not only always have an average response of over 1ms, but they will also all be vastly different from each other.

The 1ms spec gets around marketing laws by being 'technically' true that the display can achieve 1ms response time, but only in a single fast transition not representative of the average, and usually only when maximum overdrive is enabled, which in most cases is never a good idea to use due to overshoot.

Oh neat I had no idea those websites existed but I'll check them out. Thanks for the advice!
