144hz monitor

[Squirrel]

So I have been buying new parts for my already good computer, so I went with a 144hz asus 24' monitor. My god is it amazing, from the stand of the monitor to the amount of fps I can truly witness through this thing. Funny thing is, when I first started using 144hz, it was so strange, as my eyes literally my whole life has been locked at a 60fps experience. I went back to 60hz for a moment when gaming and it looks horrid now, there's no going back! It's like going from 60 fps to 30 fps, it felt way to slow with frame rate, and of course reaction time is worsened. Now I have witnessed 144hz and will stick with it, but I have always wanted to experience 1440p and 4k gaming which will be the nest step (yes I know the new asus 120hz 1440p monitor but it's way too expensive). What kind of monitor(s) do you guys have? Similar experience? Any one prefer the ips panels that are 60hz because of the color quality improvements (including not just 1080p but 1440p). I'm sure any one would agree who have 144hz or 1440p+ montiors it's hard to imagine without witnessing it yourself  :lol: (And no, I don't care if it goes off topic type away i'm bored)

I'm too poor for 144 Hz.

I'll be picking up a monitor with (hopefully) 1ms response time 1080p+ (preferably 1440p as I have a GTX 780) and ~120Hz.

Except that they're all TN panels (one or two VA panel ones) so they look like rubbish compared to an IPS panel.

I only went 15hz higher than 60, the difference quite large even at such a seemingly small amount.

Keep in mind I play competitive fps games, and I don't know if they look "rubbish" compared to ips monitors. I would notice more in a 144hz monitor then a switch to a ips monitor. And yes I know that's a bad comparison, but you get my point I hope.

Oh didn't know it was being used for competitive gaming, well then in that case it's a great monitor for that.

Which model?

 

If you can maintain a solid 120fps, throw lightboost on. The clarity is stunning for games.

I prefer 144hz to 120hz+Lightboost. I have tried both of them extensively and I reached the conslusion downgrading from 144 to 120+LB is not very noticeable but going 120 to 144 is pretty noticeable. Plus it gets bad with LB if you get below 120 frames where it is not as bad without lightboost enabled.

That's why it was qualified with maintaining 120+ fps. Being able to do that gives a CRT effect you can't duplicate at 144Hz. Gaming aside, the smooth scrolling of forums and articles on LB is awesome. One of those "Now that I've experienced it, I'll settle for nothing less" features.
