Alright so right now I'm running a LED 32inch Samsung tv through hdmi. Now when I first got this tv I was a pure console gamer or played on my laptop. I just built my first pc and plan on playing LoL and battlefield and I'm very competitive when I play. But also i love my color detail and such. I'm not exactly sure what I'm looking for and don't wanna blow tons of money on a crap screen, so the new monitor Linus did a review on a few weeks ago that was the size of two screens which would be amazing just don't want to spend 6 pay checks on one.

So any recommendations or anything coming out that's what I might want to look at?

You need to choose. Are you more competitive or a pixel junky? 144Hz or IPS. Unfortunately there's no in-between, right now. Last year my Crysis 3 K/D doubled immediately after switching to 144Hz. It's almost unfair.

120/144hz monitors are the best if you play games that require fast reaction times which is ARTS and almost every FPS game. I went back to my 120hz Alienware/Dell and feel like I'm not missing anything besides colour and resolution (was using 1440p). Also using a smaller screen lets me see everything at once while having the monitor at arms length.

I reccomend getting a 120/144hz monitor. Also, make sure it's one from this list so you can hack some low-persistance-magic on it:

With these monitors it is way easier to see stuff clearly while it's moving, especially the lightboost hack helps a ton with visibility of moving objects.
