Difference between a " gaming " and a regular display

[ultralars]

So i am planning to build a pretty strong computer come summer, and i also want to invest in a screen with good image. 1080 is fine for me, since it makes the computer last longer and 60 herz is completly fine.

 

And so i have arrived on either

 

Eizo foris FS2434, which(forris) says on Eizos site is its " gaming " brand for display

http://www.amazon.com/FS2434-BK-23-8-Inch-Screen-LED-Lit-Monitor/dp/B00KQGO77U

 

or

 

Eizo flexscan EV2450, which according to the website is more a " work " type

http://www.amazon.co.uk/EIZO-FlexScan-EV2450-BK-LED-IPS/dp/B00NF3EMNA

 

The foris is slight more expensive, but that doesn¨t matter to me, i do want to invest in the display.

 

i figgure the difference lies in the aestichs of it, and not in any practical difference, am i wrong?

 

thus, the bulk of the foris at the bottom might not be so attractive when seeing it in person?

Gaming monitors currently push the envelope of what panels can do.

First time i've heard of Eizo.

Most gaming monitors come from brands like ASUS, Acer, BenQ.

AOC has some nice IPS displays.

 

Now, the difference from a "Gaming" monitor from a regular monitor is that it's most of the times a TN Panel one, which means bad colour contrast. But it has a 144hz refresh rate and most of them have 1ms of input lag (That's the time a command takes to be posted on the display). And some of them have support for Nvidia's G-Sync technology.

Most gaming monitors are 1440p and 1080p.

 

Now a normal display is most likely IPS (which means it has vibrant colours), it has a 60Hz refresh rate and 5ms or more of input lag.

IPS monitors are at mostly every category, 1080p, 1440p, 4k. etc.

it's funny when "gaming" monitor usually the lowest quality back before

grading has gone from Professional, Design/Graphics, and Value into Gaming, All around and Value.
