144hz monitor for ESport titles

[Sa1tama]

Hi! From 2017 till today i have played Cs:Go for 420hrs. I think i have gotten good, so i am trying to step up a bit and get a new 144hz monitor.

My specs are all fine:

• GPU: EVGA GTX 1050 SC
• CPU: i5 3570
• Ram: HyperX DDR3 1x8gb 1866mhz

I get an average of 160fps at max settings and it never dips below 145fps so my rig won't be a limiting factor.

From a quick search on amazon i have found these 2 monitors:

1. MSI Optix MAG24C
2. MSI Optix MAG241C

Just by looking at the spec sheet they are quite similar. (Compare website: https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/compare/MSI_OPTIX_MAG24C_vs_MSI_Optix_MAG241C/BHitems/1417341-REG_1429368-REG)

I can't decide between the two, the MAG24C has +300R curvature but has slightly lower brightness (-50 cd/m²)

I am open to any suggestions, but please keep in mind that i mainly play CS:GO and i have never had a look at a curved monitor in real life. I don't know how it feels.

 

Thanks in advance!

Personally i'd pick the MAG24C. Never trusted them curved monitors  Plus it's only due to preference

What's your budget? Have you looked into Zowie/Benq?

If you don't want to spend 20 dollars more for the BenQ XL2411, go for the Acer KG271, I wouldn't recommend buying a curved monitor for competitive gaming.
