Question regarding monitors

[SuperFlower]

Always wondering, do people who post here and recommend monitors play only esports titles? I've been looking over and people recommend and want 144Hz even if it is a TN panel. Are there anyone who plays story/single player games like rdr2, assassins creed, witcher, tomb raider etc? What monitor would you recomment for someone who plays aaa games with max settings on considering that you would not get over 70-80 fps on ultra? On all forums people are looking to buy 144Hz monitors just for csgo, pubg, fortnite, apex etc, what about the 1% of people who are playing story games?

I'm one of those people and I often wonder to myself the same question: would I actually gain anything meaningful from 144Hz or higher? Seems to me like higher resolution, better colours and possibly HDR would all be more meaningful for single-player games and higher refresh-rate would probably be on the bottom of the list of things to go for. Alas, I have no personal experience with high-refresh-rate displays as I'm still rocking a budget 1080p60.

I'm sort of in the same camp as you but I do sometimes play Overwatch.  Really I'm more interested in the Ultrawide scene, there are some good 100-120hz monitors in this range @ 3440x1440.  I still thing 4k outside of professional work isn't worth it, 1440p is where I'd draw the line.

Personally I'd look at something with IPS (possibly VA) and 1440p60

I play both. You can just get a 1080p 144Hz VA or IPS panel don't need to get TN really.

For those people i now recommend they wait for LG to release their 48" 4k OLED tvs this year which will have all the gaming features u need. 120hz 4k, VRR, BFI, low input lag , along with the beautiful picture quality that comes with OLED.

 

Note: Ull need to upgrade to this years GPU's when they release so u can use HDMI 2.1 for 4k 120hz.

 

IMO if u can fit a 48" display ..there is ZERO reason to buy a monitor this year. The 48" OLEDs coming beat the pants of any monitor aside for maybe superfast TN 240hz display for competitive FPS. For anything else 4k 120hz on an OLED is the bee's knees of Displays.

With the pixel response of OLED, 120hz will look and be faster and feel better to play than a slower pixel response LCD at 144hz.
