Buying a panel (finally!)

[capta1n_beans]

I have been waiting for this moment for ages! I am tired of my crappy 540p monitor and would like an upgrade.

 

All I know is that I want a monitor that is at least 1080p(1440p if possible), 16:9 aspect ratio, 25-27 inch, <8ms response time, 120hz, with a high quality panel.

 

I have no idea which panels are good and which are bad. I have looked at the Asus PB278Q but have read that it has a lot of tearing issues. Any suggestions?

The monitor has no real effect on "tearing" that is an issue with the computer itself

 

the asus models are great products

 

for 120hz there is also the BenQ monitors which are very good

 

For 1440p Asus, Dell and AOC and Ilyama all produce high quality displays - If you do not have the power to run 1440p at 120hz then get an an IPS/PLS panel for a better colour  and viewing angle experiance

I currently have a water cooled dual 770 setup with 4gb of ram each. Is that enough?

You should be fine. 

 

The Asus PB278Q is a awesome monitor. Go with that and you won't regret

For 1440p 60hz yes, or for 1080p 120hz

Go with the Asus. You will be happy you did
