60hz vs 120hz

[AlamoStar]

Will I notice a difference if I buy a 120hz monitor? I've been using a 23 inch 60hz for about 2 years now.

Some people say it's such a huge difference, but after using one for a round of BF3, it's ok but nothing special. I'll take IPS/PLS anyday.

go for a fast ips/pls

You may notice the difference, but in my opinion, it would be better to spend the money on an IPS/PLS monitor and try to overclock it.

what is IPS/ PLS?

The highest IPS/PLS can go is 60hz with some going a bit higher but that's due to them being "factory overclocked",

Much better colour reproduction and overall more beautiful.

do you know any affordable IPS monitors I can take a look at?

What is your definition of affordable and what size?

I have 300$ left in my budget and probably 23-25 inch?

Honestly there are a lot of IPS monitors that are in that size range, the best thing would be for you to check them out and choose the one that aesthetically looks the best and is cheap.

Here are a few that I found though.

thanks!

[tryphaa]

thanks!

Dont really want to look at all those, and I dont know if it's in there or not, but look at the Acer H236hl. It's great, and could eventually be good for triple monitor setup later.

www.blurbusters.com has a lot of really good information about the new lightboost monitors and motion blur that is well worth looking into. The difference with these monitors is striking compared to an IPS monitor.

with fast i'm talking about one that doesn't have much motion blur

[ivhyn]

As an 144Hz player I'll never go back to 60Hz, I guess it's the same with 120Hz.

I went with the IPS advice and last year after this video and the tests done at Tomshardware I had to try it. So I bought a Benq XL2411T and bam I can't ever go back. The difference in motion is immediate even within Windows. I find it hard to just move a mouse pointer around on a 60hz computer now, I can see it jumping around! Once you have gone high hz most don't ever go back.

I think there is a difference with overclcoked or faster refresh rate monitor

If you're going to use it to game, don't go IPS, just get a 120hz monitor, its an overall better experience.
