Need some advice on a monitor for my Ryzen 7 5800x + RTX 3070 pre-built i bought

[Dovaogedy]

If you've been in the pre-built section, you'll have seen the pre-built i bought.

 

Anyway ive been debating on 3 things

 

1. Stick with my 1080p 144hz monitor

2. Buy a 1080p 240hz monitor

3. Buy a 1440p 144hz monitor

 

Ive been leaning the 1440p route, the RTX 3070 seems made for it and i dont play games like Fortnite and CSGo

 

After watching reviews im looking at this monitor as it seems to be the most recommended

Anybody else got any recommendations? Is IPS worth it over VGA and TN? I could get the monitor that Linus did a video on for much cheaper

I'd go for the 1440p 144Hz, since unless you're super sensitive to it or play a lot of hyper competitive shooters, you won't see much if any benefit for getting the 240Hz over the 144Hz. That LG panel looks like a pretty good deal, they know how to make a monitor. As for IPS, VA, and TN, they all have pros and cons. TN is the fastest and the best for Hyper competitive shooters, but if you play sight seeing games, it's not the best as colors can be anywhere from ok to garbage depending on the particular panel. IPS is the slowest, though its gotten a lot better in recent years, not quite as fast as TN but getting quite close, but also having the best color accuracy out of all of them. VA is a middle ground, being in between in terms of response time and in terms of color. Personally, I wouldn't pay much extra for an IPS unless you do color critical work and would try to save a buck by going VA, but I am also using a 3 y/o TN with a cluster of dead pixels, so I really don't care that much about getting better stuff. Also that LG panel is really nice and the price is very fair for what you're getting.

Thanks for responding, the reviews did say that monitor was the best one to get so its leaning for me so far

Yeah, for sight seeing games an IPS panel is a really great option. The only thing better you can really get is an HDR monitor, but that would be double the price and if you're anything like me, you're very cheap and wouldn't consider that worth it.

Fair enough. I just cannot use a controller for anything other than games specifically designed for it like shell shock and racing games

go 1440p if you have the money, if you don't stick with the 1080p monitor, you'll get higher frames too.

You should consider the size of the monitor you want too, it makes more of a different than most people thought. 

 

For 27 inch I'll definitely go for 1440p 144hz (more or less) but 32 inch and above 40k 60hz isn't bad for just single player game. I used to have 27 inch LG IPS but I drop and broke it so now I am on 32 inch (still LG) VA 4k and I have been loving it so far. They cost almost the same from where I live and VA deeper black is more noticeable than I thought.
