Best 1080p Monitor for gaming and everyday use

cartrucks

Like the title says, I'm looking for a 1080p monitor for gaming and everyday use. I want it to be comfortable everyday but also have great color accuracy and good gaming performance. I am deciding between the Samsung C27F398 and Asus VG278HE. Is the 144hz and 2ms response time on the Asus TN panel better than the curved Samsung's 60hz and 4ms VA panel? Thanks :D

I'm looking for a more standard 16:9 monitor as some games and videos would appear with black bars on an ultrawide.

Basicly works like this: Own a 60hz and Upgrade to 140hz 1ms = Not a big difference. Own a 140hz 1ms and look at a 60hz = Eye Cancer.

 

What Games do you play/plan on playing ? If youre only going for AAA Games and some casual CS or any other FPS then stick to 60hz i´d say. You play a lot of FPS Games and here and there AAA Titles ? Go with 144hz 1ms. I hope im not talking Bullshit but thats all i know. Hope i still could help

I'm planning to play some FPS games (Battlefield, Arma 3), racing games (Dirt Rally, Assetto Corsa), and AAA games (JC3, MGS5). Im mostly worried that there would be screen tearing problems if I stick with 60hz as I'm upgrading to a GTX1070

Dell Ultrasharp U2414H, it uses AH-IPS panel so its color accuracy is definitely much better than those 2

There is 0 noticeable difference between 1ms and 5ms. 

 

144Hz is much better for gaming if your gpu can provide the fps.
