I blew my budget on the pc, now I'm stuck with a 24 fps caped tv as a monitor

[April_Showers]

Allight so i got into pc building because LTT so i decided to build a buff gtx 1080, i7-7700 and 32 gig of ram, water cooled beast...... but i forgot to set money aside for a monitor that can keep up with my pc. Now I'm stuck with my seven year old tv as a monitor, any suggestions on budget 144 hrz monitors?

Shouldn't the FPS be higher on a lower resolution display?

No, the display itself is capped at 24hz

You're looking at about $275-$375 CAD for the cheapest displays on newegg.

At the worst I'd guess this is an EDID issue where the TV isn't reporting all it's technically possible refresh rates and it just needs to be overridden.

 

Also, HDMI first rolled out in 2003.  It was even standard on the PS3 in 2006.
