i recently had some trouble with gaming rage and may or may not have punched my old monitor so its time for a new one. i play most AAA titles other than sports games i play a bit of cs go, i watch movies and netflix on my pc. i have a gtx 760 currently waiting for pascal cards next year to upgrade than on getting a 980ti equivalent pascal card next year. i would like to get the best picture and color and minimal backlight bleed that i can get but have been told to be looking at 144hz and g-sync monitors i have no idea what i should get or brand. have been looking at acer,asus and benQ the last few days and stuff from the $150 mark to the $700 top acer ips gsync monitor. i dont have a huge budget i would rather wait to get a top monitor have read alot of quality control issues with the top gsync monitors so i would like to wait a year or 2 to get something that is a top teir monitor and hopefully that will be solved so i wouldnt have to deal with it.

 

 so what monitor would you all recommend for me or what monitors would you all recommend in the 144hz range, gsync range or would you recommend something away from those for better image quality?

I've heard pretty good things about the new ROG Swift PG279Q

Pro Tip: don't use flash when taking pictures of your build; use a longer exposure instead. Prop up your camera with something (preferably a tripod) if necessary.

if you use retarded/autistic/etc to mean stupid please gtfo

yeah, but exchange rates suck so apparently the actual msrp is $800 USD (From http://www.anandtech.com/show/9710/asus-announces-two-new-rog-gaming-monitors)

thats still too high for me right now and i would have to run it at 1920x1080 and no where near 165hz for about a year till i upgrade my gpu next year and that 800 now would affect the gpu money i have next year

I have 770 and also plan to upgrade when Pascal\Arctic Islands are released. I bought Dell U2414H this summer until i buy my next card and then i`ll sell it and buy appropriate monitor. Display technology is moving fast these days. Next year Oled monitors may come out, 4K 90Hz or more, or just better cheaper version of existing ones. My advise is buy something cheap, preferably used.

They are good for gaming, just don`t spend too much on it. Save for the upgrade.

Honestly, I'd go for a 34'' 1440p if you find one that fits your budget.

Has awesome gaming immersion and if you watch movies and netflix no black bars to be seen =P.

At least for me I prefer picture quality to 144hz or gsync.

after thinking about it i will wait to get a g sync monitor so right now im trying to decide between these 2 monitors BenQ XL2411Z which is 24 inch TN 144hz 1920x1080 and has great adjustment or Acer G257HU which is 25 inch IPS 60hz 2560x1440 just tilt adjustment

Nobody has even given a decent suggestion lmao.

 

You definitely want a 144hz, period, you'll never want to go back to 60hz.

 

Buy the ASUS VG248QE, it's one hell of a monitor you shouldn't even hesitate. You can also look at the BenQ GL2460HM or BenQ XL2411Z.

 

These are all great for the price, but I still like the ASUS more. Either way they are affordable and amazing, I hope you get one.

after thinking about it alot and there being a sale on the Acer G257HU that put the price at 199.99 i gave in and bought it. i think next year when i get a new GPU it will be easier the game at 60hz at 2K than try to play any AAA title at 144hz at 1080p after looking at benchmarks for the top cards no i dont see anything that will fully utilize the 144hz yet. so i went with 2K for a sharper picture for everything except gaming till next year. will have to wait and see if i am happy with my purchase or not

You would probably need to go with a 144Hz monitor if you do not have a budget restrained then go for the G-Sync models!
