Is 144hz actually 144 fps?

Hmm I suppose that is true, at the same viewing distance a bigger monitor with a lower resolution to size ration would look worse or maybe equivalent to my current display in terms of quality. 

For those two monitors you linked, do you know of a good resource for seeing the color accuracy? 

The best resource is whatever brick and mortar store is close to you. Just ask to look at an IPS monitor. I don't think IPS panels vary that much.

Look for a detailed review of it by www.tftcentral.co.uk or www.pcmonitors.info.

Awesome, thank you!

Well I was hoping for more of a technical way to judge the monitors. I'm a freelance video editor too, and I know that true 100% color accuracy is only possible on a truly professional grade reference display, it would be cool if I could also get better color performance out of an investment in a new monitor along with sick gaming performance!

Well I know professionals prefer IPS for the color accuracy, but I honestly don't know if there is any more you need to know. @Glenwing would be a better resource.

You're both wrong on different things

 

1. If you're getting 100 fps on a 144 Hz monitor, you're going to see 100 fps, not 144 fps. There won't be any duplicated frames.
2. Your friend is wrong that IPS panels higher than 60 Hz don't exist. I'm not even sure where the he got that from.

@ivan134 What do you mean there wont be any duplicated frames? My understanding is that for 144 Hz (non-Gsync/free sync) monitors you draw a new frame on the screen 144 times per sec. That means you check ur video input 144 times per sec and draw the frame that's available there. now if GPU is producing 100 then some frames will be drawn twice because the GPU didn't have time to update them. Or am I missing something?? Just curios

This is correct
