Thumbs up wasn't enough, good job pointing that out, it is absolutely worth it to wait. (still under 200 gets you this: http://pcpartpicker.com/product/nt7CmG/acer-xf240h-240-144hz-monitor-xf240h)

Getting almost double Hz on a 144 is really worth those extra $$. I have a dual monitor setup with an old computer screen at 1080p 60Hz and I really saw a difference when I went and looked at a 144Hz in my local electronics shop.

For sure. For all the fancy GPUs I have (2 980s), still on a 1080p 60Hz TN panel. Unfortunately it'll still be a while for me to upgrade, because I'm waiting to be able to afford a 1440p 144Hz G-Sync IPS display (NOT cheap). But having seen these types of panels in store, OMG it is worth it. So good. If you have invested that much into your GPU setup, you owe it to yourself to get a suitable monitor to reap the rewards.

I'm getting a 1070 for my LG monitor, so I can use it's power. But you're right, those 1440p screens are no way cheap haha

I've never heard of the brand, and I recommend you stay away from lesser known brands as they typically have mistakes to either colours or pixels, if they're that cheap. Stick to the real deal in this situation

4ms response time is a bit of a downer, but it all depends on it's summed up input lag, so google that. How many Hz does it have? But Samsung is pretty known yeah

philips is the best

Phillips is most assuredly not the best

This is a random 60Hz panel. For the games you are playing, I would think a higher refresh rate panel would suit you better. The graphics/details aren't what I would call beautiful, but higher refresh rates (esp in Overwatch) are highly sought after.

 

No, response time and input lag are completely separate. The former concerns issues like ghosting on the screen, while the latter is the literal delay between video card output and display onto the panel.

 

For this application, I advise minimzing response time (1-2ms), maximizing refresh rate (preferably with FreeSync as well), and not caring so much about the panel type (IPS vs TN)
