motion blur reduction Pick which gaming monitor would you buy.

[josencarnacao]

Hi there,

 

In Feb this year, I finally got to assamble a new PC:

• AMD 5600X
• ASUS ROG Strix B550-F
• DDR4 2x 16 GB Teamgroup 3600 MHz
• Crucial P5 500 GB nVME for Win10Pro

Anyway, for a couple of years been playing in a 32" 2560 x 1440 IPS AOC monitor at 75 Hz, that I mostly bought to edit video, photos and other stuff.

Since building this new PC, I've been saving a bit for a gaming monitor.

 

Asside Unreal Tournament, LoL, Valorant, Starcraft 2, Overwatch, GTA V ... I'd like to shift most of my time to focus on to racing games since I have a Logitech G29 with a playseat.

According to the settings I choose in the games I play, I get 120 to 200 FPS, since I choose Responsiveness instead of Image quality, almost always.

Motion blur, as I've learned from a lot of LTT and reviewers alike, is one of the KEY elements to really go for when selecting a gaming monitor.

 

Feel free to suggest bellow any alternatives, but the selection I've put up here is based on the budget, being only FHD (1920x1080) and availability here in Lisbon, Portugal.
I don't care for speakers in the monitor, headphone jacks, and multiple inputs... DP or HDMI suits me fine. Correct me if you think I should care.
Also, I don't game in consoles but may someday get a 2nd-hand Playstation... or maybe not ( mainly to have a blu-ray player  )

The order in which I placed them are due to my preference in specifications VS price. I couldn't find more information on the LG, Samsung and Gigabyte as to how good, or if any Motion Blur Reduction technology.

I'll be buying until the end of next week, and I could really use some help deciding.

Cheers from Portugal.
