why is there almost no IPS 144hz monitor

[Zeketo]

looking to buy a 27inch 144hz ips monitor.

The only reason I want Ips is because sometimes I play some games on my bed. 

Therefore, it might not be the perfect angel and I don't want it to be too dark.

Looked online and haven't found too many options.

You have these options: https://pcpartpicker.com/products/monitor/#H=144,240&p=1&qq=1

thanks for the reply. I am looking to get 1080p monitor. 

2k isn't really my thing and I prefer to play 1080p native.

Then you are right, you are limited to these monitors. My guess is panel OEM's make IPS for 1440p and not for 1080p.

I had a asus 60hz 27inch ips monitor and it's really cheap like $200- canadian dollars

I think its a really old model, but I don't get why they don't make ips monitors for 144hz monitors

There is a physical limitation.  In an IPS display the crystals do not move fast enough to accommodate high refresh rate displays.  The crystals in a TN panel move much faster which is why they are more common in high refresh rate displays.  I think ASUS offers some 144 Hz IPS displays, but they probably worked with a panel maker to try and optimize response time.

VA might be a better option for you.  They generally have better viewing angles and color than TN but switch faster than IPS.  It's a good compromise.

what is YOUR budget because this is something you have not listed and I'm probably assuming it's huge.

Asus MG279Q = IPS Freesync 144Hz 1440p? [700aud at the time i bought it] july 2017
Asus PG279Q = IPS G-Sync 165Hz 1440p? [900aud at the time i bought it] july 2017

 

only quoted these two monitors as i have both of them but my brother uses the freesync variant for now as he has an amd graphics card, and I use a nvidia graphics card which benefits off g-sync... unless you need g-sync the asus is probably the lowest monitor i've seen so far that has IPS & 144hz rate at 1440p. it just makes no sense to put ips in 1080p 144hz personally as it will be too costly [the refresh rate already puts these monitors at a step higher than the base specs], adding IPS would just increase the premium even more making it not so cost wise for 1080p gamers.

 

also it might help if you expand your question a bit more: what's your gaming tower specs? what games do you play? what's your budget?

 

because right now my answer is long winded, but i try and shoot all possible angles i guess since i'm free to type a bit up now. but for others... maybe they need more refined questions.

I thought there might be a compatibility problem between IPS and 144hz 1ms monitor, but monitor like that does exit.

It really helped clear the mist.

Thank you, this is exactly what I am looking for
