100hz vs 144hz

[Raigan]

Currently looking to purchase a new monitor, have 2 below:

 

https://www.amazon.co.uk/MSI-MPG341CQR-DisplayPort-Adjustable-FreeSync/dp/B07R7VTGH5?th=1 - 100hz

 

https://www.amazon.co.uk/MSI-MPG341CQR-DisplayPort-Adjustable-FreeSync/dp/B07R7VTGH5?th=1 - 144hz

 

The cost difference is £350. 

 

Is it a noticeable difference between 100hz to 144hz?

i do not know what you use the monitor for, but . . . for my gaming and work purposes, i barely notice a difference between 75hz and 144hz. so i doubt i would notice a difference on 100 - 144hz. 

 

But that said, i do not play very fast paced games. and i don't like watching sports or movies on my computer.

Yes but that depends. If you are playing competitively for money, yes, casually not a lot. There are other factors like input lag and overall panel responsiveness to account for.

Assuming both displays are equal, I'd go with the cheaper one. Not because 144 hz would not be worth it but because you won't reach 144 fps on average most of the time except for a few older shooter games and really old games in general of course. Also 350 extra is a lot for just the frequency, again assuming they are otherwise identical.

You linked the same monitor twice.

 

There IS a noticeable difference if you have the power to reach those refresh rates, looks like you do.  Serious price difference tho, only you can justify it.

There is an option to select the 144hz one in that link.

Ahh thanks.  I can't speak mush since I paid even more than that for mine.

 

Have you ever used a 144Hz panel or seem one? I guess I'd recommend experiencing one but if you can't and can afford it... get the 144.  Why not?

Never seen a monitor over 60hz.

 

Id rather pay a little as possible

 

I play games casually and want to future proof for next 5 years at least

Then 100Hz is more than enough.  For "future proofing" the resolution is what's important IMO.  3440x1440p will be awesome for a very long time, once you go there you'll love it and want to stay there forever (slight poetic license there).

 

100Hz is fine for ANY game unless you're getting paid to play CS;GO or something, but then your sponsor can provide a monitor
