is a 4k display a good choice if you are gonna do this?

Yes, this is what I did. I started with a 24 inch monitor and I fell in love with 4k, came back and bought a 42 TV for the same price lol

That's definitely the best bet. Let us know what you think.

Okay so unfortunately the assholes didn't have a 4k monitor to buy or review atm.. Really fucking weird. But they did have a 144hz 1440p gsync monitor and I didn't game on it but the smoothness when the mouse moevs around was incredibly satisfying. Starting to consider 144hz now actually. It was so incredible. Perhaps I should go with 144hz 1440p instead what do you think? And, would gsync be necessary in that case?  

Second thought, nahh 4k is just to pretty... I don't care about 144hz as long as It's UHD. and a 1440p IPS monitos seems kinda overpriced to..
I am thinking this one will be sufficient. https://www.webhallen.com/se-sv/datorer_och_tillbehor/268915-lg_27ud58-b-27-ips-4k-dphdmix2-5ms-freesync

I recently got a 144Hz 1440p G-sync monitor and it's amazing... I love it. The G-sync is IMO the biggest upgrade (since with my GPU I still play most games at 60-80Hz anyway) but the 144Hz is also very, very nice. For purely gaming I think a 1440p 144hz G-sync is the perfect monitor. For productivity it's fine but other options may be better and cheaper.

 

For gaming though... I don't think I could ever go back to a non-G-sync 60hz monitor...

IPS (which I think is totally worth it, the colors are a huge improvement over TN). I hit the jackpot though and got mine for $400 on clearance for 50% off). It's the Acer Predator XB271HU which is usually $800, got the shelf model (still with warranty) for a steal.

Damn, you got lucky. Can't buy one for that price.... IS it crap without g sync?

No, many people don't mind not having g-sync. I just hate seeing tearing (one of my biggest pet peeves, that and aliasing) and with lower framerates using v-sync can have a huge impact on actual fps (like if you drop below 60 you'll only get 30fps). With v-sync you can have no tearing and still get a full fps without dropping in steps and without the lag v-sync gives.

Damn dude check 1:18 WHAT THE FUCK ?! How have I been playing without g sync for all this time? And this is 60hz imagine that at 144hz. 

Oh dear... perhaps I should get a 1080p 144hz g sync to start with and wait for the prices to drop on the 4k and so on.. ? What do you think ?

I REALLY want a IPS 144hz gsync 1440p but it is way to fucking expensive man...

Yea, I think g-sync is by far the biggest improvement I have ever had to my gaming experience. I will never be able to go back to a non adaptive-sync monitor now... be careful, the upgrade may ruin you... You'll never be able to go back...

so a 1080p 144hz gsync to start with ? :(((((( heart breaking. maybe I should just fuck everything and get the 4k UDH IPS for 500$ and be done with it.

What's weird in that video though is the fps difference in the video between g-sync and no sync. There's really shouldn't be a difference at all... it's probably because it's only a 60hz monitor and it's frame limiting or something. G-sync shouldn't give you any noticeable fps loss.

https://www.netonnet.se/art/ljud-och-bild/tv/39-43tum/lg-43uh664v/230467.9115/ Damn before I buy a monitor.. have a look at this one! ? MAybe this is what I Should go for. 100hz 4k UHD damn!  Does this have a IPS panel ?  And what is the response time?
