whats your budget?

 

[samladin86]

probably 300 is my max but I would like hear suggestions and opinions regardless of price

I think it is reasonable to go 1440p, maybe high refresh rate if you are willing to add some $

If you want the best visual quality, for 300$ (assuming Canadian yen) get a good ips monitor (i saw deals for some 60hz 1080p monitors that are great and you get 32'' of really nice pictures) on the other hand, if you want the smoothest gameplay (Fortnite for example) you will have to sacrifice some viewing angle and downsizing the size of the monitor to achieve this with 300$

 

Here is the monitor my brother-in-law bought (has incredibly nice colors and a big screen, and it's a PLS panel, which is supposed to be equivalent if not better than IPS): https://www.bestbuy.ca/en-ca/product/samsung-samsung-32-fhd-60hz-5ms-pls-led-monitor-ls32f351funxza-white-ls32f351funxza/10416644.aspx?

 

For smooth Gameplay (this one will have better image quality and viewing angles than a TN panel as it is a VA panel, and you still get a lots of Hz per Dollars spent) : https://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824475002&cm_re=144hz-_-24-475-002-_-Product

 

If you plan on upgrading later (as you will absolutely do if you get the same disease of playing on a Pc like all of us, get something like this, yeah out of budget, but ''futureprooffed'' 1440p, 144hz, VA panel, Curved, MSI, and i can tell you this one is sooooooo perfect for me as i got it!!!!!!) : https://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824475009&cm_re=msi_mag27cq-_-24-475-009-_-Product

 

Hope this answered well your questions !

go for this one

Well I mean someone has to put the best ones on here

(my opinion ) soooo.

these are both 1440p gsync 144hz-165hz 27inch models also both are ips.

or

https://pcpartpicker.com/product/XvfmP6/asus-monitor-pg279q

if you have not tried 144hz I do recommend the difference is day and night especially with gsync! Also because of the ips you will get really nice Color without ghosting or chopping with va.

 

 

Ps Msi monitors suck I own one that when put to 144hz turns all blacks purple.... I’m told it will be more than the monitor to repair+shipping cost so save yourself from some of those troubles... the ghosting can be up too a centimetre and a bit and it’s color is slowly getting worse.

ill be checking those problems, never noticed any of this with my msi one, but ill keep an eye on that, and whats the model you have?

[Nineballo]

I got the g27c you might be fine on the newer models but If something goes wrong don’t expect any help.

it’s really bad on grays I’ll post a pic. That’s one UFO and 3 of the circles on each side...

 

 

 

Then hen you have the blue which speaks for itself.
