Need recommendation for a 1080p monitor

[Syed Mustafa Ahmed]

Greetings,

 

I recently watched an LTT video on a 4K Monitor with HDR-10 and a 144Hz refresh rate.

(Link to LTT's video : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lCcSK3R8HcM&t=544s)

 

He pointed out quite well how driving 4k at above 144FPS with HDR is hard even with top of the line hardware.

I don't have top of the line hardware so I was wondering that a 1080p version of the same kind of monitor would be a better option.

 

Can anyone recommend one? I'm looking for:

• HDR-10 (optional)
• Good Coverage of the RGB colour space (colour accurate)
• Have a higher refresh rate than 60Hz (144Hz is better but 90Hz is fine as well)
• Have G-sync or FreeSync
• Should be IPS

(Note : Sorry if I make any mistakes in the post)

Budget/Country?

Most IPS displays will be fine, you only really need 99% sRGB/Adobe RGB for professional work.

Budget is not that high ($300-$400). I would settle for the bottom option which doesn't fail too soon.

I'm going to think of ordering from the internet so location doesn't matter that much.

Still need a country, unless you can order from the US in which case buy this 1080p 144hz VA display

Amazon.com: Acer Gaming Monitor 23.6” Curved ED242QR Abidpx 1920 x 1080 144Hz Refresh Rate AMD FREESYNC Technology (Display Port, HDMI & DVI Ports): Computers & Accessories

Otherwise buy one of the 4k 144hz IPS displays at like $399, Nixeus Makes one as well.

That looks like a great value for that price but I'm not thinking of going 4K yet. I know it makes so much difference but I prefer other stuff first like higher refresh rate.

I would like to go atleast 90Hz before I go towards 4K.

 

If you've seen an old post of mine, I have no problem gaming even at 800x600 (if the UI is readable) so 4K is a lower priority.

1440p*

 

Although a 4K 60hz IPS monitor is probably the best thing to buy otherwise, I prefer it over 1080p 144hz

You can just run games at 1080p with perfect upscaling. Everything else looks amazing.

I hadn't considered up-scaling.

That would indeed make it better.

 

Thanks for the recommendation.
