Since I have been working from home, I compared working on my 240hz monitor with my 60hz one, I can literally get four times as much work done with my 240hz monitor. I only need to work for 2 hours to get a full workday done! It's amazing!!
Broke As FK I disagree, I actually can stand using my 240 Hz monitor for normal desktop** and its much better than a 120 Hz monitor (same resolutions) **You have to understand that I vomit after playing consoles for 20 minutes due to choppy frame rates. I get horrible headaches at work because of crappy 1080p resolution paired with 60 Hz, and my 120 Hz laptop is bearable for me but I’m actually shocked I can stand to use a 240 Hz monitor without getting a headache... That’s a big deal! Normally at home I have triple 4k monitors at 60 Hz so I don’t have that issue starring at them all day for 12+ hours (it’s so crisp that I don’t get the eye strain from trying to focus something that just doesn’t have pixels there). But for gaming it takes an absolute monster (quad crossfire) to run single monitor 4k well. So sometimes if I game for an hour on a Saturday for example, well then my 120 Hz laptop has got me covered or for a decent improvement I’ll hook it up to my 240 Hz panel (I do like playing most games at 4k on my desktop, but the Internet situation is a bit finicky, so often I can only update one machine at McDonnalds just before the weekend and my desktop weighs a monsterous 80 pounds or something due to the vampire style wooden casket I built it in and the heft of the coolant even in just my large copper radiator, haha, walk into McDonnalds and need 2 power chords for my duel power supplies (this thing pulls 1.7 kW while achieving a mind blowing silky smooth 100 fps in Crysis 3 at 4k Ultra... that 2nd PSU is needed, haha!). But, yeah I wish I didn’t vomit trying to have fun playing with friends during a console party, but I just can’t handle the stutters in low frame rates or the lack of clear resolution (it can almost be an either-or, but desktop workstation is for sure better with high resolution, and for gaming I really don’t spend more than 2 hours gaming so almost anything works if I can hit 60+ fps with higher preferred so I don’t get a headache...)
I don't own a monitor myself for my pc that's above 60hz ive stuck with it mainly because I dumpster dived for it and its been working for years and its a good display dunno why they wanted to toss it. but anyways back to the point, my phone though is enhanced in the refresh rate dept and I can tell between 60 mode and other peoples displays tvs computers phones at 60hz vs even just 90hz are wayyyyyy slower.
I think the reason why TV’s and some monitors “lie” about response times is because they test it differently. They test it using “gray to gray” instead of “frame to frame.” Gray to gray time is how long it takes a pixel to switch from one color to another. But frame to frame response time is how long the whole image takes to change after a new update gets sent to the screen.
Yes true, despite what people may think the pixels change at different times, some pixels take longer to make up the whole frame. They still capture and hold the frame but that capture process isn’t instant. Crt’s don’t hold any frames they just continuously run in capture mode.
1440p 144/165hz for 3 years now going from 60 to 120hz difference is massive like night and day, going from 120 to 144/165hz difference is smaller, going from 144/165hz to 240hz difference is very small in simple comparison - going from 60hz to 120/144/165hz monitor is similar to going from having hdd as system drive to a sata ssd as system drive, then going from 120/144/165hz to 240hz or more is same as going from sata ssd to nvme ssd where difference is felt is some scenarios but in real world daily tasks there's little to no difference and it exist only on paper... so 120/144/165hz is middle ground be it 1080p or 1440p as 4k is not yet worth it IMO - as most of content around there has to be upscaled, even blu ray ''4k'' movies are upscaled from raw 1080 videos....
Was thinking "what if I want something in the middle?" I'm currently on a 1080p with 60hz, but have been looking at getting a 1440p with either 120hz or 144hz.
Honestly 144 to 240 only felt like 25% or less of the change from 60 to 144. 60 to 144 is probably like 144 to 1000, if that will ever happen (Asus is working on it, though).
My 24" 1080p / 120hz just died. I'm just about to pull the trigger on a 1440p / 144hz. The 1440p/144hz seem to start at 27 inch and my desk space barely fit the 24inch. Those funky stands for Asus 24" monitors wouldn't work with my limited space.
This was EXACTLY what I was looking for, I just logged in and comment to say cheers for the video man, well put together and even that transition you did at 11:30 was spot on haha Keep up the good work!
The first time my eyes saw 1080P 144HZ + Freesync I was blown away. Now that I've seen what I've been missing for so many years I can't go back. For gaming I'll take high refresh rate over 4K pixel density any day. I guess that's the beauty of PCs though. We've all got a choice as to what fits us best.
We may not need to make that sort of choice soon with the new GPUs. A lot of people seem to think the upcoming cards will help to push standardize 4k high refresh. I'm currently sitting on my 1060 3GB with a 1080p 60Hz LCD panel though, so what do I know ;).
@@schmidty_fps8162 Unless you're playing in professional leagues I wouldn't bother above 144. You'll be wasting a bit of that 2070 Super's performance capabilities with only 1080, too. I would personally go for a 1440p144Hz IPS display.
I had a new Benq monitor 1080p 60 hz. It died. After that I'm addicted to cheap used 1080 p monitors for 35 USD and I just can't get myself to buy a brand new monitor
It makes sense especially for secondary monitors or just for work . But I really hate some of those old Samsung's their stands are crap quality . And fixed no movement .
@@tanmaypanadi1414 true no stand adjustment however the colors on my Samsung monitor / TV 24 inch I bought in 2010, are quite good, response time 5ms, never had any issues with it still looks brand new , at time I paid £250 , still debating whether or not to get a new curved monitor I m more of a simmer but I game as aswell
Second time i’m watching this Video as i try to Choose between a 27” 1080p 144hz vs 27” 1440p 75hz 🎧 finally went with Msi 27” 1080p 144hz with 1ms ( 4ms - grey to grey ) ips Hdr Rgb gaming monitor for $250.- bucks 🎮 So far So good & Thanx for info 🇵🇹
Hope your happy, was about to say. See if you find a 1440p with over 75hz refresh rate. Tho, if you have HDR, that is noise no matter resolution. One thing i can say about my 1440p monitor, tho 165hz va panel. Nits output is on the low side. Also a thing people should consider when getting a monitor is brightness. Even if monitor dosent have HDR support. It has a huge impact on what you see on screen, being game or video. My current 165hz 1440p va monitor cant compete against my 4k tv with HDR and well. Ignoring HZ and response time, my tv beats my pc monitor with a HUGE margin. Tho, my 165hz screen is so much more responsive, responsive and still deliver sharp image beeing 1440p. I must say, i miss HDR or at least higher nits.. Anyways, i have stuck to my dedicated gaming monitor because or pros vs cons. Tho, if not fast passed fps, or i feel in the mood for it. I will use my 4k 60inch and get blown away by the sharpness, colors and brightness even in non HDR games. Its a very fun experience sitting close in front of a huge screen, but image quality great and very sharp... xD
Two months ago I made a jump from a gaming laptop 17.3 inch 60hz to a gaming deskop with 27 inch 1440p 144hz monitor. Once you try 1440p there is simply no going back. By far the new standard for everything for me.
@@c00kiechu While refresh rate played a big part in it, resolution itself made an even bigger impact on me. I could tell straight away that it looked better amd sharper than 1080p. Once you experience that there is simply no turning back.
I've switched/upgraded from a 60Hz 1080p TN 'SyncMaster BX2450' to a 75Hz IPS 2560x1080 UltraWide 'Lg-29WK600-W' around a year ago. I do not play competitive games at all,single player only or casual MMOs/Diablo like games so the refresh rate was not important to me. For immersive games like Skyrim/Witcher,etc its great imo and also not that bad for watching movies/series on. Some games still don't support this aspect ratio properly so tweaking is needed sometimes but usually theres a mod/guide for it online. I got used to it so much by now that I don't think I'm ever going back to the 'standard' monitors.:P
1440p at 120-240 hz is the sweet spot for sure. much better iq than 1080p, but nowhere the performance hit of 4k/uhd. so 100+ fps is possible in pretty much all games.
@@eilonkatz In the FPS genre : Rainbow6, Ghost Recon Wildlands, some Ghost Breakpoint, The Division 1 & 2. Witcher 3 & RDR2, then Black Mesa and Saints Row 3 Remaster. The rest tends to be isometric classics or non-realtime. GPU was a EVGA 980Ti until the fans died, then 570XT, which was a mixed bag due to drivers. Kinda hoping for a next gen card that isn't hampered by drivers. The 980Ti did well, and somehow freesync seemed to work with it, even though everyone said it would not. Freesync helped a lot the with FPS dips.
@@stephanematis thanks for the answer! So when you were using the 980ti, which is pretty similar to my 1070 were you getting alright fps on those games? I play pretty much the same games and genre. G-sync included on the monitor I'm looking into.
@@eilonkatz There were all playable, with tweaks on quality, but Div2 suffered the most on the 980ti, dipping to 45fps and at times lower. The rest all were Medium, especially if I reduced AA and other post filtering. I'd say your 1070 will run Med settings or slightly worse, especially if you want lowest latency. Unless you aim for super competitive, you should be fine.
Back around the time the gtx1070 released I bought myself a 4k monitor thinking it was going to be the best thing ever. Since then I've been wishing I bought the 1440p 144hz even though now I've upgrade to a 2070super its just better to have extra smoothness than extra pixels.. just my thought
I got an LG 27GL83A-B two weeks ago. It had everything I wanted but they are a bit more expensive since they are IPS.. 1440p 144Hz Freesync (G-Sync compatible). I got it because it was on sale, I was gonna get the LG 27GL850 but since they are the same panel and difference is non-noticable I settled for this one. Really happy with it. Such a difference from 1080p 60hz 22" TN... Glad to be back on an IPS! And I feel there's no reason to not go IPS if you are not serious about E-Sports style gaming. IPS kills thec competition for experience-based gaming.
I have a 75hz Samsung monitor for my Dell Optiplex gaming PC and a very small difference comparing to 60hz. 60hz and 75hz are almost the same. 144hz and up is a huge difference for first person shooter gaming.
I switched my main PC to 144hz on the primary display. Needless to say all my monitors are 144hz now because 75/60 feel stuttery now. 1440 144hz is the sweetspot imo unless you only play esports.
@@Flootyy 21 hz isnt gonna make that big of difference over 144. 144hz is 6.9ms per frame, 165hz is 6ms per frame. So its 1ms faster. If you can get the faster one for the same price go for it.
The 4K monitor could also be used for gamers who primarily play single player RPG games like The Witcher 3, A Plague’s Tale Innocence, etc. I have a 4K monitor because i mainly play games like that. You need a top GPU to run it of course
144hz, dial down as needed or as your system ages. I love my 144hz 1080p screen, most AAA games are locked at 100fps, with better optimised or older titles easily locked at 144.
I used a lot of panels from 60 to 144hz IPS, VA and TN. My choice is 75hz IPS for low budget or 144hz IPS for high budget. I'll never buy VA or TN again.
I have a 1080p 144hz TN Asus monitor and it's pretty good, I've been think of upgrading to a 1440p 144hz IPS ViewSonic monitor. Is it worth it? or am I just wasting money? I just feel like my GPU is sitting around doing nothing most of the time since I play fairly easy to run games and it hardly hits 65% usage in my most played games.
Inspired by you the last couple of months I started to build cheap systems. Just bought some HP Workstations for 200 dollar, and a shitload of graphics cards, themarket in The Netherlands is quite good... Bought a 1070 for 200 today for private use... R9s, RXs, GTXs... plenty available for 50 to 90 dollars, so I'm ok... bought a load of 1600 AFs as well, will buy a load of 1200 AFs as well... JUst hired a guy today to help me build those systems, so its prove we will survive this crisis...
I've spent months thinking about this I'm on Samsung syncmaster na3000 IPS 20inch 900p 60hz monitor since 2012 And I just can't go to TN colors It has to be IPS 144hz And after watching hardware unbowed monitor reviews I've decided that my next monitor is going to be an AOC 24G2 the best budget IPS 24inch 1080p 144hz with lowest inverse ghosting with overdrive for it's price 180USD 👍💯
I find with any monitor claiming 1ms, in order to achieve that you have to really take time in the monitor settings while in games to get everything set up just right to get the perfect blur free picture and it's fastest response time. I use the 32inch ViewSonic 1080p 165hz 1ms MVA monitor and rtx 2070. With this monitor there's really only one chain of settings at certain values to give the proper color output and what feels at most 3ms but I'd argue it does hit that 1ms at times when compared to a few other monitors and TV's with 3-5ms and 120hz+. For $300 I couldn't ask for a better monitor and being curved brings good emersion
Helpful video. Could you please also tell if 60Hz monitors cause eye strain? Some people say high refresh rate like 75Hz - 120Hz are easy on eyes. Does it make 70Hz monitors outdated?
144/1440p is great for casual gaming and general work. 240/1080 is the best for competitive gaming. IPS's are better for casual gaming and work/productivity. TN's are better for competitive gaming. VA's are if you solely watch movies/tv. I would not recommend VA's at all for gaming or productivity. Ghosting is bad even on modern VA panels and colors are inconsistent. The best competitive gaming monitor is the XL2540/6. 1080/240/TN. 60 -> 144 is something you can see. 144 -> 240 is something you can feel. BenQ's DyAc makes 240 feel even better. I've gone through so many monitors personally and this is my experience with them.
1440P high hz including ultrawide is the best "balance" between resolution and performance for most PC gamers, if you are referring to 99% of PC gamers as "casual gamers" then sure I agree. Most people struggle to "reliably" detect going much over 120hz in many blind tests, so 240hz TN at 1080P is mostly for noobies falling for high hz marketing gimmicks.
Recently I went from a 25" 1080p to a 27" 1440p monitor. Both 144hz. My frames (specifically warzone) dropped. Before they were capped at 144 and were steady. Uncapped it was 200-sometimes 300 fps. Now they are about 80 to 100 and medium settings with 1440p. Wondering if it would be better to get a 27" 1080p at 240hz and get great frames? I mainly play games and some fps tournaments. I run a i7-9700k and GTX 2070 super, any input helps. Thinking about returning my new monitor for a 27" 1080p, 240hz, 1ms ISP monitor.
3440x1440 34" Ultrawide 75hz main panel + 1080p 144hz as secondary (on an arm so when playing fps games swings around in front). Really happy with the setup.
As an aside, would love to see TYC do a benchmark on the following CPU Air coolers: RCCooler GI-D66A (6x6mm nickel plated pipe, dual fan 120mm RGB, RGB top plate with shroud, PWM, 230 TDP rated) RCCooler GI- R68X (6x8mm nickel plated pipe, dual fan 120mm RGB, PWM) SNOWMAN 120mm (RGB) (6x6mm nickel plated pipe, dual fan 120mm RGB, PWM) ...and some mainstream BRANDED coolers from CoolerMaster, Noctua, etc. Value to performance. (I do use the GI-D66A-US$70 and the SNOWMAN-US$28, and both do not disappoint.)
nice vid. yes rocking a 27" 240hz 1080p and a tv sony x85 65" for wireless couch gaming (4k60 and 1080p120hz). although just ordered the new LG CX 77" oled (1080p/1440p/4k 120hz)to replace the sony, which has excellent response times and input lag.
I use LG 24mp88. I've tried several other monitors within similar price range. But for work, this particular model is just right. Been unchallenged for 3 years now. My first 24mp88 panel got corrupted due to my own fault forcing it to run on 4K too often. It begins with dead pixel in vertical stripe by its 3rd year of service. So I bought a new one. What's funny is that the older gen seems to calibrate better on colors. But the new one is still way better looking to everything today, in spite. I bought the older one online, the new one bought on my local PC store. What's surprising is that the price remain the same... You'd think it should be cheaper by now, but nope, still at 150ish. So for me, color precision is that much more important than FPS.
Funny thing is i had a tn panel 144hz g sync monitor (which had a weird issue thats like screen burn but varies), but then went to a ips 60hz......and i just really love the ips screen and it actually had very good response times. Next monitor i will get will be a high refresh rate IPS panel monitor
In my bedroom/office I use a trio of 1080p screens, all in different sizes. A 27 inch 144Hz VA monitor as the primary, a 24 inch 60Hz(72Hz overclocked) IPS monitor I've put up in portrait mode and finally a hand-me-down 40 inch TV bought over 10 years ago that I have wall mounted above my other two monitors so I can watch comfortably from my bed. I tried gaming on the TV, but it proved not to be such a good idea when I've got a 144Hz screen on my desk.
I switched in september 2019 to a 144hz 1ms TN asus.... MY LIFE WAS BLOWN AWAY I CAN’T BELIEVE HOW SMOOTH IT IS, IT’S LIKE REAL LIFE SMOOTHNESS. Now i’m looking forward to 240hz when i get my new pc i’ll sell this monitor on facebook and get the same but 240hz from asus since the price came down from 450€ to 300€. Also the colors are very good and it doesn’t really look washed out (but i’ve never had an HDR ips panel) Don’t forget to switch the refresh rate>right click on the desktop you should find it in the nvidia panel
I'm using LG 32in UHD HDR10 FreeSync Monitor, it's VA and has a "reported" GTG response time of 4ms and is only 60hz, I really enjoy it. but I don't play competitive shooters so as long as I hold a solid 60 I'm happy. I watch a lot of movies and tv shows on my computer so I had that in mind.
There are apps to see different refresh rates with and without motion blur on a high refresh display (e.g. from phone or tablet). You should really try this! 60Hz with motion blur looks smooth to me, even with small, fast objects. So don't get fooled!
@@Twongz_does_anything -honestly if all you care about is fps then go for the 144hz. For me now; I just love the crisp clear picture on my LG 4k ips monitor. I'm good with 60fps. That's just my opinion. It's true. It's a big visual improvement over my old 144hz 1080p.
What should I choose: VA 240hz 1080p 27inch or VA 144hz 144op 27inch. Ity is just a 20 dollar difference so price doesn't matter. If it matters I am on VA 27inch 1440p 144hz.
I'm running 2 BenQ 27" 2k monitors - the SW2700PT & PD2700Q. 85% of my usage is office based multitasking workloads and digital imagery. The rest of the time is vids and games, so these monitors are perfectly suited for me.
Stop referring to 1440P as "2K" as its actually 2.667K. The term 2K exactly = 1080P! why you ask? Half of 3840x2160(4K) = 1920x1080(2K) en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2K_resolution Yes a lot of people get this wrong, but its still wrong.
what should I do I have a 4k monitor already and I eather want a 165hz 1440p or a 240hz there both the same price the 1440p is 32 inch and the 240hz is 27inch. I really don't know does it look weird using a 1080p and a 4k next to eache other
I don't play hard or (frankly) well enough that I think I could get the competitive edge a 240hz monitor allows, but I do want to experience the increased quality of life of having that 144hz display. Then if I'm going to bother upgrading and dropping that dough I might as well get the 1440p IPS panel.
I bought myself a new monitor about 2 months ago which i do love and also i did look into it before hand which is a Acer Nitro 1080p monitor at 144hz, Freesync and IPS (also Gsync compatible) but for things like VA and this does depend on the person as well which is usually good to visit a local PC shop is that VA really hurts my eyes to the point that i would start squinting when i am gaming with it and while it is not for everyone i personally would recommend that people would visit a local PC shop (when this thing is over) and see if the panel doesn't mess up with your eyes.
I have been using a monitor with 1366*768@60hz for eternity. I am going to upgrade to 1080p@144hz. I usually play all AAA titled games and casual cs go. In India we don't have many high refresh ips monitors. My choices are 1. Msi mag24c va panel 2. Aoc c24g1 va panel 3. Lg 24gl600 tn panel Kindly recommend which one to go with.
I got a Samsung S24R356 monitor (130$ or 10000 Rs). It is 24" HD IPS 75Hz. The only complaint I have with it is that viewing angles are poor in spite of being IPS.
I couldn’t decide on which to get so I got both. Alienware has a great 1080 IPS panel with 240hz which I use for intense gaming. Then for more casual games and short videos I’ll use my 4K, 60hz IPS monitor made by LG. Let me also add that the screen size is also a very important factor as it determines the amount of pixels displayed, for this reason I went with a 24” as I couldn’t adjust to the trendy 27”, then again this is a jump from my old 1080p 120hz 20” monitor. Good luck and hope this helped those in the comments!
For people who have undergone eye surgery, especially for retinal detachment, like me; 144hz refresh rate might feel uncomfortable, or downright painful. Please keep in mind when shopping, as you might be paying for something that you can not use.
Hmmm, I wouldn’t think that would correlate, to me higher is always better. Maybe try manually adjusting your frame rate to find your ideal (for instance: 60-75-90-100-120-140-160-180-200-220-240-240+). It may just be the program not playing well (like 30 fps UA-cam on a 75 Hz panel), I do sometimes match in multiples of the source (for example, 25 Hz footage I’ll set monitor to 50 Hz instead of 60 Hz
@@jakegarrett8109 I did, I lowered mine to 120Hz, at 144Hz even the solid color of the desktop background was very uncomfortable, to the point that my eyes were tearing up.
i have the Benq XL 2540 which is the basically the same like the one you're using but its 25 inches.. and im thinking of switching to a 1440P 144HZ 2K monitor but the thing is its also a TN panel not IPS.. do you recommend that ? the monitor im considering is the AOC AG241QX keep in mind.. that i cap the frame rate to 144 my video settings.. so basically im not benefiting from the 240hz capability of my monitor but my question is.. would the 1440P 2k 144hz monitor be better than the 1080p 240hz monitor since they both got a TN panel ? i do not do any photo or video editing related work.. i only use the monitor for gaming and mostly MOBA games
I intend on getting a new screen as im currently running a samsung 27inch 1080p 60hz, i have a RTX 2070 super and i want a budget 4k 32inch with hopefully some sort of freesync, g-sync capabilities as in some games the 2070 super wont be enough for 60 fps. In an ideal world i would have gone for a LG c9 OLED but i can only afford up to £350 max. what would you recomend? Nice video!
Pretty good analysis, even if it completely forgets that 1080P 144Hz VA/IPS monitors are the best bang for the buck right now. Personally, I'm using a Samsung CRG5 1080P 240Hz VA and I plan to upgrade to...basically the same resolution and refresh (the performance and response times are simply unmatched, even using budget hardware) but with a GOOD Adaptive-Sync implementation. I get crazy amounts of overshoot on anything under 100FPS and the Overdrive is locked while using A-Sync. The weirdest part is this is easily fixed...by disabling Adaptive-Sync in the monitor OSD (If I disable it in the GPU driver the response times become sluggish). It's just so bizzare that even using the highest Overdrive setting there's no ghosting even at 60FPS or under, but turn Freesync on and BAM overshoot galore. Funniest part is even other monitors with unlocked Overdrive settings while using Adaptive-sync still can't offer a consistent experience across the board (either they become slow at higher ranges, or suffer from ghosting/overshoot at lower ranges). TL;DR So, yeah, until manufacturers start implementing (GOOD) dynamic overdrive modes, there are no great high-refresh adaptive-sync monitors. Only good ones.
OLED can/will screen burn if you are careless. When i play long gaming sessions i don't want to be worrying about ruining my monitor. OLED is for movies. Not gaming.
Could you please say "all" monitor specifications needed for Microsoft Flight Simulator X and Microsoft Flight Simulator 2004 in terms of 1080p, 2560 x 1440p and 4K monitors? With fps in the range of 30fps to 45 fps what monitor refresh rate is best to use? Will a 60Hz monitor be best or a higher refresh rate monitor is better considering fps does dip down to around 28 fps at times and are not uncommon? Thanks for your help.
Hi, love your channel. Thinking of upgrading my old AMD HD series videocard, left from previous setup, to RX580 and don't know if PSU Thermaltake Litepower 450W would keep up with that? (PC: Ryzen 5 2600x, Asus B450 motherboard, 2x8GB of RAM, NVME + 2 Spinpoint F3 HDD drives) And kinda don't want to go with less power hungry Nvidia, just because have monitor that supports only FreeSync.
Hey man I have literally the same setup. I would suggest upgrading to a silver/gold rated 500-600w psu just in case u overclock the 2600x and the rx580 personally I own a white rated 750watt psu which I got on sale fro 60$ Aus. It depends on what you are going to do with your setup
The thing is, would rather not change PSU if not needed. Already had tested power consumtion with existing video card HD 6770 (rated TDP 108W). Runing Cinebench R20 with MSI Kombustor and from the wall system draws 303W max. Setup mostly for web browsing, CAD works and CPU based rendering tasks. With RX 580 would be for light gaming to. Now like, Tomb Rider with old card runs @ 30FPS, @ 2560x1080 resolution, lol.
I'm using a VG248QZ TN monitor and the difference between the TN and IPS in this video is day and night. If I compare colors on my monitor to the IPS panels in the office, then they're pretty much the same. Are the videos about washed out colors of TN exaggerated or is my panel just really good? (Or maybe the IPS panels in the office are just that bad?) Edit: I'm thinking about switching to [GIGABYTE Aorus FI27Q-P] or [ASUS PG278QE]
How about those 32 inch, VA 4k monitors? I have my eye on the BenQ EW3270U because it's a 4k monitor that's within my budget. I don't play competitive games and I do light content creation and currently using a 1080p 24inch IPS monitor. Will a VA 4k monitors be sufficient for it?
I'm looking in the same area, and my uses are the same as yours. Might even get that exact monitor. Wish I could try a high refresh rate, but I'm thinking I might get more benefit from 4k.
I'm more interested in VA vs IPS. Anything seems like a victory when compared to a TN lol. Unless black doesn't count as a color how can something be color accurate if it doesn't even have the contrast to display blacks? Also, Oled is being replaced by micro LED since oled rarely ever exist under 55 inches unless its a phone and burn-in is an issue
VA is garbage. Tried an MSI Optix MAG322CQRV, immediately traded it in again and got a 240Hz BenQ XL2740. The input lag feeling on the MSI Optix is unbearable for competitive gaming, for casual games in 60FPS it would probably be fine. But stay away from VA and even IPS if you are playing FPS games competitively @ 200+ FPS. After tweaking the color settings on my BenQ it's definitely more than alright in terms of quality. As long as you don't put it to a high tier IPS panel you won't be too bothered.
@@zdx197 Obviously it all comes down to personal preference. However my wife has a TN 1440p 165hz HP Omen, I have a 1440p 144hz IPS Nixeus. Side by side the color difference makes you wanna vomit. I have taken my hand at trying both quite a bit on my PC as my GTX 1080 Ti is capable of at least delivering the full 165hz at least on Valorant, CSGO, R6 and so on. (Mind you I do play somewhat competitively, if you consider Plat 2, Plat 1 in R6 as competitive.) I literally play no different and can barely tell the difference between my 4ms response time on my IPS and her 1ms response on her TN. Obviously even that 16hz increase I do notice and feels a little smoother, but the ONLY and biggest difference is my IPS has a sort of smear or ghosting effect when turning rapidly in game. At a lower framerate meaning 80fps and lower it's more noticeable than when at it's max 144fps but it is there. ( I know it is a overdrive problem. ) I could see how that would bother some people but to me it is well worth having the beautiful colors and rich, deep blacks. At least for single player games it is the most immersive. Competitively, my 25 year old brain dead ass cannot differentiate or feel that being much of a negative. If I had to rate it being a problem I'd say it would maybe prevent me from securing 1 kill in every 50. Just because of how dark shadows and blacks CAN be. That's why Reshade is your friend though.
IPS panels always look "washed out" to me, in comparison with a VA panel. With a VA panel, you just have to be very selective with which one you actually get. Mine has a 4 ms repsonse time GTG, which isn't bad at all, and the input lag is on par with most gaming monitors (although not the greatest in that regard). But yeah, if you're super hardcore competitive , (in which case you probably have all your settings on low anyway), may as well get the crappiest looking monitor type (TN) for that competitive, edge.
@@tylerangle2269 response time is not the problem. Response time =/= input lag, two different things. The latter is technically explained in this video, however it is something I can literally "feel".. muscle memory I guess. Numbers are one thing but in the end it is how the user experiences it. I fully agree with you however that in terms of sharpness IPS is in a totally different league than TN. You don't buy a 240Hz TN panel for rich and sharp colors, I am completely aware of that. I definitely feel a difference in CS:GO in terms of my individual performance (global elite rank, I have around 5k hours and played FPS games since the late 90's, I'm ancient old compared to you haha, 35 to be precise) I'm not a god, but I'm pretty alright at any FPS game I try to play. I must have played tens of thousands of hours of competitive FPS shooters (half-life DM, quake 3, lots of CS, I'm also playing Valorant now, it's quite cool actually) and come from an era where overclocking my CRT monitor to 165Hz was a thing. Anyhow - I am going off topic.. what I wanted to say is that my performance in CS:GO was not the same, I felt like my one taps were off, as if I had to sometimes aim slightly before or after the head, my spray sometimes wouldn't properly connect. When I switched my old 144Hz benq back (compared to the 144Hz/1ms VA panel) I immediately popped heads again. Then I knew that my next monitor was going to be the 240Hz BenQ monitor. It ultimately depends on these things: - what monitors did you own prior to owning a modern high refreshrate IPS/VA/TN panel, this will influence the kind of difference you see and feel - are you a competitive FPS gamer where you can get (and feel) the small benefits out of super high FPS/Refreshrate, some people will feel it more than the others, depends on experience and skill level - if you only play triple A titles @ 4K resolution @ 60FPS, I would always recommend an IPS panel, simply for the way more immersive experience and overall a much better panel (better for reading, desktopping, watching media, .. basically better than everything than a TN and also VA apart from the prior mentioned stuff) It is just very important to know what exactly you are going to use the monitor the most for. And even if it were mainly for gaming, what type of games you're going to play.
i use aoc q3279vwfd8, 1440p, 75hz ips panel. for me is enough for my gaming needs. i play from warzone to battlefield and so on, never hade a single problem whit it. but if i hade a money i would buy some 1440p 144hz ips panel, but for now im happy whit what i got :D
Hi I do need help! I played for five years on Asus VG245 and want to upgrade on Asus VG27AQ or Asus VG279QR but I am console player and do play on PS4 Slim/ soon to play on PS5. Would one of these two monitors be good for my eyes? I never had issues with Asus VG245 (No eye strain nothing).. I have to admit I'm a female gamer and I don't have much idea what the Hz/ refresh rates really mean. I just want to be comfy playing on monitor for longer hours without seeing some ghosting or my eyes starting to hurt.
What's your experience with playing Dota 2 on a colour accurate monitor vs a high refresh rate? What would recommend for the Dota players out there? Low input lag and high refresh rate seem less important and I think the colours in the game are beautiful.
Currently running a Dell 2k 144hz TN Gsync and a 1080p 60HZ IPS as a secondary. I used to run a 4K IPS and I would take the ner 2K TN panel I have any day. Dell has solid color reproduction. Certainly better than the ASUS 1080p TN I had about 5 years ago. If I want great color and a laid back gaming experience I can always hook the PC up with a controller to my LG Nancell 4K TV. Even running games at 1440p on that looks incredible, runs well, and allows for 120hz. But when I'm playing Rainbow Six or other FPS games, TN is unbeatable in terms of response and price.
currently have i7 8700k and 1080 ti on 165hz 1440p monitor. I have low settings and I see some lag around 100 fps so should I swich my monitor to 240hz 1080 24 inc monitor?
I play games like warzone in my laptop with 144hz 1080p and a RTX 2060 card, is it worth to buy a monitor 4k 60fps?? Also, the RTX 2060 is good enough to play 4k 60 fps??
I pc game on the 120hz 65” LG CX. In standard mode the colours are beautiful but in game mode the colours look the same as a cheap led tv. Game mode handles the motion on CSGO better but in standard mode the colours are just so beautiful, they are so good,that I usually sacrifice and tiny bit of motion blur to get them. I wish they did the excellent colour and the lightning response times lol.
@@AM-mk3zc No one is doubting that. I used to have a 1080i widescreen CRT tv with HDMI and it was pretty much the best thing ever. It was also huge and took two people to move. I would have it now if it wasn't so impractical.

I use 2 shitty 24" 1080p 60hz HP office monitors (VA panels, horrible ghosting) for office work and occasional gaming, but I'll be getting a 49" 4K samsung TV for more realestate for work. Saw Barnacules setup and guide so it will be good enough for work and occasional 1080p windowed gaming so that I don't go blind
Thank you for video. I wonder does those milliseconds matter, if it´s 1 ms or 4 ms? Can human eye see the differense? I have playing with computer since 1982 when i started with Commodore Vic 20 and since then, computers have become better and better, so does those milliseconds matter. Perhaps for some.
I love my VA panel, though its only 1080p 60hz. I am considering maybe getting a 1440p high refresh rate VA at some point. I couldnt cope with IPS, the glow on a dark screen was just horrid.
@@jameshay6926 To some extent yes, although i got used to it pretty quickly and hardly notice it any more. So many 'fast' games these days have motion blur anyway though!
I dont get it, there is FPS which was usually the indicator how fluent a game runs, i compare it to water vs an old super 8 Film. On the other side there is hz which was in the past at least here in europe 60hz all the time. So my question is, do you need 144hz when your graphic card can not do 60fps at 1440P ? Will you see a difference in youtube 1440P videos or in windows compared to a 60hz screen? The thing is i have an old Ryzen 5 2600 with a 1030 geforce for browsing the web and youtube etc.. My monitor now is an old 24 inch 60hz LCD but i want a 27 inch 144hz. Is that even possible and will i see a difference in youtube videos etc.. ?? I am not talking about playing games in 1440P
Since I have been working from home, I compared working on my 240hz monitor with my 60hz one, I can literally get four times as much work done with my 240hz monitor. I only need to work for 2 hours to get a full workday done! It's amazing!!
Thanks for a solid lol, I needed it.
haha damn, nice one xD
Do you only work on it lol download games too it’ll look nice
Broke As FK I disagree, I actually can stand using my 240 Hz monitor for normal desktop** and its much better than a 120 Hz monitor (same resolutions)
**You have to understand that I vomit after playing consoles for 20 minutes due to choppy frame rates. I get horrible headaches at work because of crappy 1080p resolution paired with 60 Hz, and my 120 Hz laptop is bearable for me but I’m actually shocked I can stand to use a 240 Hz monitor without getting a headache... That’s a big deal!
Normally at home I have triple 4k monitors at 60 Hz so I don’t have that issue starring at them all day for 12+ hours (it’s so crisp that I don’t get the eye strain from trying to focus something that just doesn’t have pixels there). But for gaming it takes an absolute monster (quad crossfire) to run single monitor 4k well. So sometimes if I game for an hour on a Saturday for example, well then my 120 Hz laptop has got me covered or for a decent improvement I’ll hook it up to my 240 Hz panel (I do like playing most games at 4k on my desktop, but the Internet situation is a bit finicky, so often I can only update one machine at McDonnalds just before the weekend and my desktop weighs a monsterous 80 pounds or something due to the vampire style wooden casket I built it in and the heft of the coolant even in just my large copper radiator, haha, walk into McDonnalds and need 2 power chords for my duel power supplies (this thing pulls 1.7 kW while achieving a mind blowing silky smooth 100 fps in Crysis 3 at 4k Ultra... that 2nd PSU is needed, haha!). But, yeah I wish I didn’t vomit trying to have fun playing with friends during a console party, but I just can’t handle the stutters in low frame rates or the lack of clear resolution (it can almost be an either-or, but desktop workstation is for sure better with high resolution, and for gaming I really don’t spend more than 2 hours gaming so almost anything works if I can hit 60+ fps with higher preferred so I don’t get a headache...)
I don't own a monitor myself for my pc that's above 60hz ive stuck with it mainly because I dumpster dived for it and its been working for years and its a good display dunno why they wanted to toss it. but anyways back to the point, my phone though is enhanced in the refresh rate dept and I can tell between 60 mode and other peoples displays tvs computers phones at 60hz vs even just 90hz are wayyyyyy slower.
OH MY GOD THIS IS PERFECT TIMING!!!! YES MAN THANK YOU!!!!
Frequency too!
Hey just wanted to let you know there are many 240hz ips panel available at a better rate than benq.
Its to late for me, bcuz i just bought a monitor of the internet, but this review didnt change my mind
@@aidanlewis4331 so it monitors the WHOLE internet???! Amazing!
I think the reason why TV’s and some monitors “lie” about response times is because they test it differently. They test it using “gray to gray” instead of “frame to frame.” Gray to gray time is how long it takes a pixel to switch from one color to another. But frame to frame response time is how long the whole image takes to change after a new update gets sent to the screen.
This is correct
Yes true, despite what people may think the pixels change at different times, some pixels take longer to make up the whole frame. They still capture and hold the frame but that capture process isn’t instant. Crt’s don’t hold any frames they just continuously run in capture mode.
1440p 144/165hz for 3 years now going from 60 to 120hz difference is massive like night and day, going from 120 to 144/165hz difference is smaller, going from 144/165hz to 240hz difference is very small in simple comparison - going from 60hz to 120/144/165hz monitor is similar to going from having hdd as system drive to a sata ssd as system drive, then going from 120/144/165hz to 240hz or more is same as going from sata ssd to nvme ssd where difference is felt is some scenarios but in real world daily tasks there's little to no difference and it exist only on paper... so 120/144/165hz is middle ground be it 1080p or 1440p as 4k is not yet worth it IMO - as most of content around there has to be upscaled, even blu ray ''4k'' movies are upscaled from raw 1080 videos....
Was thinking "what if I want something in the middle?" I'm currently on a 1080p with 60hz, but have been looking at getting a 1440p with either 120hz or 144hz.
@@alexanderjohansson2671 You and me both.
what about 1080p or 1440p is there any huge improvment ?
Honestly 144 to 240 only felt like 25% or less of the change from 60 to 144. 60 to 144 is probably like 144 to 1000, if that will ever happen (Asus is working on it, though).
My 24" 1080p / 120hz just died. I'm just about to pull the trigger on a 1440p / 144hz. The 1440p/144hz seem to start at 27 inch and my desk space barely fit the 24inch. Those funky stands for Asus 24" monitors wouldn't work with my limited space.

The first time my eyes saw 1080P 144HZ + Freesync I was blown away. Now that I've seen what I've been missing for so many years I can't go back. For gaming I'll take high refresh rate over 4K pixel density any day. I guess that's the beauty of PCs though. We've all got a choice as to what fits us best.
Tell me about it. Went back to my xbox 1 and was disgusted at how I used to game. It felt so bad that I got a headache
We may not need to make that sort of choice soon with the new GPUs. A lot of people seem to think the upcoming cards will help to push standardize 4k high refresh. I'm currently sitting on my 1060 3GB with a 1080p 60Hz LCD panel though, so what do I know ;).

Hope your happy, was about to say. See if you find a 1440p with over 75hz refresh rate. Tho, if you have HDR, that is noise no matter resolution. One thing i can say about my 1440p monitor, tho 165hz va panel. Nits output is on the low side. Also a thing people should consider when getting a monitor is brightness. Even if monitor dosent have HDR support. It has a huge impact on what you see on screen, being game or video. My current 165hz 1440p va monitor cant compete against my 4k tv with HDR and well. Ignoring HZ and response time, my tv beats my pc monitor with a HUGE margin. Tho, my 165hz screen is so much more responsive, responsive and still deliver sharp image beeing 1440p. I must say, i miss HDR or at least higher nits.. Anyways, i have stuck to my dedicated gaming monitor because or pros vs cons. Tho, if not fast passed fps, or i feel in the mood for it.

Two months ago I made a jump from a gaming laptop 17.3 inch 60hz to a gaming deskop with 27 inch 1440p 144hz monitor.
Once you try 1440p there is simply no going back. By far the new standard for everything for me.
Me too. Same here. Never going back again!
It's probably the refresh rate not the resolution that made most of the difference. (if ur laptop was 1080p).
@@c00kiechu While refresh rate played a big part in it, resolution itself made an even bigger impact on me. I could tell straight away that it looked better amd sharper than 1080p. Once you experience that there is simply no turning back.
I've switched/upgraded from a 60Hz 1080p TN 'SyncMaster BX2450' to a 75Hz IPS 2560x1080 UltraWide 'Lg-29WK600-W' around a year ago.
I do not play competitive games at all,single player only or casual MMOs/Diablo like games so the refresh rate was not important to me.
For immersive games like Skyrim/Witcher,etc its great imo and also not that bad for watching movies/series on.
Some games still don't support this aspect ratio properly so tweaking is needed sometimes but usually theres a mod/guide for it online.
I got used to it so much by now that I don't think I'm ever going back to the 'standard' monitors.:P
27" 1440p, 144Hz IPS is my fav. Picked up before the holidays a Lenovo Legion Y27q-2 and it really makes me happy and doesn't stress my eyes.
1440p at 120-240 hz is the sweet spot for sure. much better iq than 1080p, but nowhere the performance hit of 4k/uhd. so 100+ fps is possible in pretty much all games.
Can I ask what games you play and with what gpu? Looking into getting a similar monitor but I'm worried my GTX 1070 won't cut it.
@@eilonkatz In the FPS genre : Rainbow6, Ghost Recon Wildlands, some Ghost Breakpoint, The Division 1 & 2. Witcher 3 & RDR2, then Black Mesa and Saints Row 3 Remaster. The rest tends to be isometric classics or non-realtime. GPU was a EVGA 980Ti until the fans died, then 570XT, which was a mixed bag due to drivers. Kinda hoping for a next gen card that isn't hampered by drivers. The 980Ti did well, and somehow freesync seemed to work with it, even though everyone said it would not. Freesync helped a lot the with FPS dips.
@@stephanematis thanks for the answer! So when you were using the 980ti, which is pretty similar to my 1070 were you getting alright fps on those games? I play pretty much the same games and genre. G-sync included on the monitor I'm looking into.
@@eilonkatz There were all playable, with tweaks on quality, but Div2 suffered the most on the 980ti, dipping to 45fps and at times lower. The rest all were Medium, especially if I reduced AA and other post filtering. I'd say your 1070 will run Med settings or slightly worse, especially if you want lowest latency. Unless you aim for super competitive, you should be fine.
Back around the time the gtx1070 released I bought myself a 4k monitor thinking it was going to be the best thing ever. Since then I've been wishing I bought the 1440p 144hz even though now I've upgrade to a 2070super its just better to have extra smoothness than extra pixels.. just my thought
here's to hoping that more games come out with DLSS2.0.
For gaming oh yeah, but for office work having 4k is better

144Hz

Really happy with it. Such a difference from 1080p 60hz 22" TN... Glad to be back on an IPS! And I feel there's no reason to not go IPS if you are not serious about E-Sports style gaming. IPS kills thec competition for experience-based gaming.

This video helped me so much. Thanks!
144hz, dial down as needed or as your system ages. I love my 144hz 1080p screen, most AAA games are locked at 100fps, with better optimised or older titles easily locked at 144.
I used a lot of panels from 60 to 144hz IPS, VA and TN.
My choice is 75hz IPS for low budget or 144hz IPS for high budget.
I'll never buy VA or TN again.

Asus ROG PG279Q 165Hz 1440p IPS, I got it last year around 1000$ AUD, it's great and I'm very happy with it.
I find with any monitor claiming 1ms, in order to achieve that you have to really take time in the monitor settings while in games to get everything set up just right to get the perfect blur free picture and it's fastest response time. I use the 32inch ViewSonic 1080p 165hz 1ms MVA monitor and rtx 2070. With this monitor there's really only one chain of settings at certain values to give the proper color output and what feels at most 3ms but I'd argue it does hit that 1ms at times when compared to a few other monitors and TV's with 3-5ms and 120hz+. For $300 I couldn't ask for a better monitor and being curved brings good emersion
46" Panasonic TV + 24" Asus TN both 1080p @60Hz.
Got them for 60€ + 30€, works fine when not playing FPS games competetively.

haha lol, i feel you man
Helpful video. Could you please also tell if 60Hz monitors cause eye strain? Some people say high refresh rate like 75Hz - 120Hz are easy on eyes. Does it make 70Hz monitors outdated?
144/1440p is great for casual gaming and general work. 240/1080 is the best for competitive gaming.
IPS's are better for casual gaming and work/productivity. TN's are better for competitive gaming. VA's are if you solely watch movies/tv.
I would not recommend VA's at all for gaming or productivity. Ghosting is bad even on modern VA panels and colors are inconsistent.
The best competitive gaming monitor is the XL2540/6. 1080/240/TN.
60 -> 144 is something you can see. 144 -> 240 is something you can feel. BenQ's DyAc makes 240 feel even better.
I've gone through so many monitors personally and this is my experience with them.
1440P high hz including ultrawide is the best "balance" between resolution and performance for most PC gamers, if you are referring to 99% of PC gamers as "casual gamers" then sure I agree. Most people struggle to "reliably" detect going much over 120hz in many blind tests, so 240hz TN at 1080P is mostly for noobies falling for high hz marketing gimmicks.
Once you IPS you won't go back that's for sure. Same for higher refresh. Thanks for the vid YesMan!
Recently I went from a 25" 1080p to a 27" 1440p monitor. Both 144hz. My frames (specifically warzone) dropped. Before they were capped at 144 and were steady. Uncapped it was 200-sometimes 300 fps. Now they are about 80 to 100 and medium settings with 1440p. Wondering if it would be better to get a 27" 1080p at 240hz and get great frames? I mainly play games and some fps tournaments. I run a i7-9700k and GTX 2070 super, any input helps. Thinking about returning my new monitor for a 27" 1080p, 240hz, 1ms ISP monitor.
For gaming a 1080p 27 inch ips panel is just better, better frames and smooth gameplay over higher resolution any day
3440x1440 34" Ultrawide 75hz main panel + 1080p 144hz as secondary (on an arm so when playing fps games swings around in front). Really happy with the setup.
As an aside, would love to see TYC do a benchmark on the following CPU Air coolers:
RCCooler GI-D66A (6x6mm nickel plated pipe, dual fan 120mm RGB, RGB top plate with shroud, PWM, 230 TDP rated)
RCCooler GI- R68X (6x8mm nickel plated pipe, dual fan 120mm RGB, PWM)
SNOWMAN 120mm (RGB) (6x6mm nickel plated pipe, dual fan 120mm RGB, PWM)
...and some mainstream BRANDED coolers from CoolerMaster, Noctua, etc.
Value to performance. (I do use the GI-D66A-US$70 and the SNOWMAN-US$28, and both do not disappoint.)
nice vid. yes rocking a 27" 240hz 1080p and a tv sony x85 65" for wireless couch gaming (4k60 and 1080p120hz). although just ordered the new LG CX 77" oled (1080p/1440p/4k 120hz)to replace the sony, which has excellent response times and input lag.
I use LG 24mp88. I've tried several other monitors within similar price range. But for work, this particular model is just right. Been unchallenged for 3 years now. My first 24mp88 panel got corrupted due to my own fault forcing it to run on 4K too often. It begins with dead pixel in vertical stripe by its 3rd year of service.
So I bought a new one.
What's funny is that the older gen seems to calibrate better on colors. But the new one is still way better looking to everything today, in spite.
I bought the older one online, the new one bought on my local PC store.
What's surprising is that the price remain the same...
You'd think it should be cheaper by now, but nope, still at 150ish.
So for me, color precision is that much more important than FPS.
Funny thing is i had a tn panel 144hz g sync monitor (which had a weird issue thats like screen burn but varies), but then went to a ips 60hz......and i just really love the ips screen and it actually had very good response times. Next monitor i will get will be a high refresh rate IPS panel monitor
i switched from a msi g24 curved to a viotek 27 inch curved monitor 144hz and i love it man
In my bedroom/office I use a trio of 1080p screens, all in different sizes. A 27 inch 144Hz VA monitor as the primary, a 24 inch 60Hz(72Hz overclocked) IPS monitor I've put up in portrait mode and finally a hand-me-down 40 inch TV bought over 10 years ago that I have wall mounted above my other two monitors so I can watch comfortably from my bed. I tried gaming on the TV, but it proved not to be such a good idea when I've got a 144Hz screen on my desk.
I switched in september 2019 to a 144hz 1ms TN asus.... MY LIFE WAS BLOWN AWAY I CAN’T BELIEVE HOW SMOOTH IT IS, IT’S LIKE REAL LIFE SMOOTHNESS. Now i’m looking forward to 240hz when i get my new pc i’ll sell this monitor on facebook and get the same but 240hz from asus since the price came down from 450€ to 300€. Also the colors are very good and it doesn’t really look washed out (but i’ve never had an HDR ips panel)
Don’t forget to switch the refresh rate>right click on the desktop you should find it in the nvidia panel
I'm using LG 32in UHD HDR10 FreeSync Monitor, it's VA and has a "reported" GTG response time of 4ms and is only 60hz, I really enjoy it. but I don't play competitive shooters so as long as I hold a solid 60 I'm happy. I watch a lot of movies and tv shows on my computer so I had that in mind.
There are apps to see different refresh rates with and without motion blur on a high refresh display (e.g. from phone or tablet).
You should really try this!
60Hz with motion blur looks smooth to me, even with small, fast objects.
So don't get fooled!
i run my games on a 2070s 28" Samsing 4k 60hz IPS and i couldnt be more impressed definetly a big visual improvement over my old 144hz 1080p screen
Same here. 4k crisp clear picture.
@@Twongz_does_anything -honestly if all you care about is fps then go for the 144hz. For me now; I just love the crisp clear picture on my LG 4k ips monitor. I'm good with 60fps. That's just my opinion. It's true. It's a big visual improvement over my old 144hz 1080p.
Rocking the Asus proart pa248q, 24", 16:10, 60hz. Not looking to upgrade yet, and I really like it.
What should I choose: VA 240hz 1080p 27inch or VA 144hz 144op 27inch. Ity is just a 20 dollar difference so price doesn't matter. If it matters I am on VA 27inch 1440p 144hz.
I'm running 2 BenQ 27" 2k monitors - the SW2700PT & PD2700Q.
85% of my usage is office based multitasking workloads and digital imagery. The rest of the time is vids and games, so these monitors are perfectly suited for me.
Stop referring to 1440P as "2K" as its actually 2.667K. The term 2K exactly = 1080P! why you ask?
Half of 3840x2160(4K) = 1920x1080(2K)
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2K_resolution
Yes a lot of people get this wrong, but its still wrong.
what should I do I have a 4k monitor already and I eather want a 165hz 1440p or a 240hz there both the same price the 1440p is 32 inch and the 240hz is 27inch. I really don't know does it look weird using a 1080p and a 4k next to eache other
I don't play hard or (frankly) well enough that I think I could get the competitive edge a 240hz monitor allows, but I do want to experience the increased quality of life of having that 144hz display. Then if I'm going to bother upgrading and dropping that dough I might as well get the 1440p IPS panel.
can you recommend what 144hz gaming monitor is good for call of duty warzone.
I bought myself a new monitor about 2 months ago which i do love and also i did look into it before hand which is a Acer Nitro 1080p monitor at 144hz, Freesync and IPS (also Gsync compatible) but for things like VA and this does depend on the person as well which is usually good to visit a local PC shop is that VA really hurts my eyes to the point that i would start squinting when i am gaming with it and while it is not for everyone i personally would recommend that people would visit a local PC shop (when this thing is over) and see if the panel doesn't mess up with your eyes.
Hi great show👍, what is the Best Game’g 40’ Plus Monitor for the Next Generation Consoles. Many Thanks.
That's a sweet looking set-up you have there. Do you mind sharing what the specs are on your personal PC?
I have been using a monitor with 1366*768@60hz for eternity. I am going to upgrade to 1080p@144hz. I usually play all AAA titled games and casual cs go. In India we don't have many high refresh ips monitors. My choices are
1. Msi mag24c va panel
2. Aoc c24g1 va panel
3. Lg 24gl600 tn panel
Kindly recommend which one to go with.
@Tech YES City: What thermal pads (brand/thickness) do you recommend for renewing the heat removal materials in a video card? Love the vids!
I got a Samsung S24R356 monitor (130$ or 10000 Rs).
It is 24" HD IPS 75Hz.
The only complaint I have with it is that viewing angles are poor in spite of being IPS.
Luviin that blue green background 💙 :)
I couldn’t decide on which to get so I got both. Alienware has a great 1080 IPS panel with 240hz which I use for intense gaming. Then for more casual games and short videos I’ll use my 4K, 60hz IPS monitor made by LG.
Let me also add that the screen size is also a very important factor as it determines the amount of pixels displayed, for this reason I went with a 24” as I couldn’t adjust to the trendy 27”, then again this is a jump from my old 1080p 120hz 20” monitor.
Good luck and hope this helped those in the comments!
For people who have undergone eye surgery, especially for retinal detachment, like me; 144hz refresh rate might feel uncomfortable, or downright painful. Please keep in mind when shopping, as you might be paying for something that you can not use.
Thanks for posting, my wife hates using my monitor. Now I know why.
Never heard of this, thanks for sharing. Will keep it in mind.
Crispian Chealuks you can resell 144hz monitors sell like hotcakes now with fortnite kids
Hmmm, I wouldn’t think that would correlate, to me higher is always better. Maybe try manually adjusting your frame rate to find your ideal (for instance: 60-75-90-100-120-140-160-180-200-220-240-240+). It may just be the program not playing well (like 30 fps UA-cam on a 75 Hz panel), I do sometimes match in multiples of the source (for example, 25 Hz footage I’ll set monitor to 50 Hz instead of 60 Hz
@@jakegarrett8109 I did, I lowered mine to 120Hz, at 144Hz even the solid color of the desktop background was very uncomfortable, to the point that my eyes were tearing up.
i have the Benq XL 2540 which is the basically the same like the one you're using but its 25 inches.. and im thinking of switching to a 1440P 144HZ 2K monitor but the thing is its also a TN panel not IPS.. do you recommend that ?
the monitor im considering is the AOC AG241QX
keep in mind.. that i cap the frame rate to 144 my video settings.. so basically im not benefiting from the 240hz capability of my monitor
but my question is.. would the 1440P 2k 144hz monitor be better than the 1080p 240hz monitor since they both got a TN panel ?
i do not do any photo or video editing related work.. i only use the monitor for gaming and mostly MOBA games
4:40 they wrote gray to gray 1ms on the box and the test was colored so they didn't necessarily lie.
I intend on getting a new screen as im currently running a samsung 27inch 1080p 60hz, i have a RTX 2070 super and i want a budget 4k 32inch with hopefully some sort of freesync, g-sync capabilities as in some games the 2070 super wont be enough for 60 fps. In an ideal world i would have gone for a LG c9 OLED but i can only afford up to £350 max. what would you recomend? Nice video!
Pretty good analysis, even if it completely forgets that 1080P 144Hz VA/IPS monitors are the best bang for the buck right now. Personally, I'm using a Samsung CRG5 1080P 240Hz VA and I plan to upgrade to...basically the same resolution and refresh (the performance and response times are simply unmatched, even using budget hardware) but with a GOOD Adaptive-Sync implementation. I get crazy amounts of overshoot on anything under 100FPS and the Overdrive is locked while using A-Sync. The weirdest part is this is easily fixed...by disabling Adaptive-Sync in the monitor OSD (If I disable it in the GPU driver the response times become sluggish). It's just so bizzare that even using the highest Overdrive setting there's no ghosting even at 60FPS or under, but turn Freesync on and BAM overshoot galore. Funniest part is even other monitors with unlocked Overdrive settings while using Adaptive-sync still can't offer a consistent experience across the board (either they become slow at higher ranges, or suffer from ghosting/overshoot at lower ranges).
TL;DR So, yeah, until manufacturers start implementing (GOOD) dynamic overdrive modes, there are no great high-refresh adaptive-sync monitors. Only good ones.
OLED can/will screen burn if you are careless. When i play long gaming sessions i don't want to be worrying about ruining my monitor. OLED is for movies. Not gaming.
Thank you for that video
I have a 2080 super as my GPU. For live streaming games do you think streaming on a 1440p 144 hz monitor or a 1080 240 hz monitor would be better?
Could you please say "all" monitor specifications needed for Microsoft Flight Simulator X and Microsoft Flight Simulator 2004 in terms of 1080p, 2560 x 1440p and 4K monitors? With fps in the range of 30fps to 45 fps what monitor refresh rate is best to use? Will a 60Hz monitor be best or a higher refresh rate monitor is better considering fps does dip down to around 28 fps at times and are not uncommon? Thanks for your help.
Hi, love your channel. Thinking of upgrading my old AMD HD series videocard, left from previous setup, to RX580 and don't know if PSU Thermaltake Litepower 450W would keep up with that? (PC: Ryzen 5 2600x, Asus B450 motherboard, 2x8GB of RAM, NVME + 2 Spinpoint F3 HDD drives)
And kinda don't want to go with less power hungry Nvidia, just because have monitor that supports only FreeSync.
Hey man I have literally the same setup. I would suggest upgrading to a silver/gold rated 500-600w psu just in case u overclock the 2600x and the rx580 personally I own a white rated 750watt psu which I got on sale fro 60$ Aus. It depends on what you are going to do with your setup
The thing is, would rather not change PSU if not needed.
Already had tested power consumtion with existing video card HD 6770 (rated TDP 108W). Runing Cinebench R20 with MSI Kombustor and from the wall system draws 303W max.
Setup mostly for web browsing, CAD works and CPU based rendering tasks.
With RX 580 would be for light gaming to.
Now like, Tomb Rider with old card runs @ 30FPS, @ 2560x1080 resolution, lol.
Idk up to you and what u want to do. Isthe light power 80+
I'm using a VG248QZ TN monitor and the difference between the TN and IPS in this video is day and night.
If I compare colors on my monitor to the IPS panels in the office, then they're pretty much the same.
Are the videos about washed out colors of TN exaggerated or is my panel just really good?
(Or maybe the IPS panels in the office are just that bad?)
Edit: I'm thinking about switching to [GIGABYTE Aorus FI27Q-P] or [ASUS PG278QE]
How about those 32 inch, VA 4k monitors?
I have my eye on the BenQ EW3270U because it's a 4k monitor that's within my budget.
I don't play competitive games and I do light content creation and currently using a 1080p 24inch IPS monitor.
Will a VA 4k monitors be sufficient for it?
I'm looking in the same area, and my uses are the same as yours. Might even get that exact monitor.
Wish I could try a high refresh rate, but I'm thinking I might get more benefit from 4k.
I use a tcl brand , 40" tv I bought at a pawn shop 4yrs ago and I think it's just fine for my needs
I'm more interested in VA vs IPS. Anything seems like a victory when compared to a TN lol. Unless black doesn't count as a color how can something be color accurate if it doesn't even have the contrast to display blacks?
Also, Oled is being replaced by micro LED since oled rarely ever exist under 55 inches unless its a phone and burn-in is an issue
VA is garbage. Tried an MSI Optix MAG322CQRV, immediately traded it in again and got a 240Hz BenQ XL2740. The input lag feeling on the MSI Optix is unbearable for competitive gaming, for casual games in 60FPS it would probably be fine. But stay away from VA and even IPS if you are playing FPS games competitively @ 200+ FPS. After tweaking the color settings on my BenQ it's definitely more than alright in terms of quality. As long as you don't put it to a high tier IPS panel you won't be too bothered.
@@zdx197 Obviously it all comes down to personal preference. However my wife has a TN 1440p 165hz HP Omen, I have a 1440p 144hz IPS Nixeus. Side by side the color difference makes you wanna vomit. I have taken my hand at trying both quite a bit on my PC as my GTX 1080 Ti is capable of at least delivering the full 165hz at least on Valorant, CSGO, R6 and so on. (Mind you I do play somewhat competitively, if you consider Plat 2, Plat 1 in R6 as competitive.) I literally play no different and can barely tell the difference between my 4ms response time on my IPS and her 1ms response on her TN. Obviously even that 16hz increase I do notice and feels a little smoother, but the ONLY and biggest difference is my IPS has a sort of smear or ghosting effect when turning rapidly in game. At a lower framerate meaning 80fps and lower it's more noticeable than when at it's max 144fps but it is there. ( I know it is a overdrive problem. )
I could see how that would bother some people but to me it is well worth having the beautiful colors and rich, deep blacks. At least for single player games it is the most immersive. Competitively, my 25 year old brain dead ass cannot differentiate or feel that being much of a negative. If I had to rate it being a problem I'd say it would maybe prevent me from securing 1 kill in every 50. Just because of how dark shadows and blacks CAN be. That's why Reshade is your friend though.
IPS panels always look "washed out" to me, in comparison with a VA panel. With a VA panel, you just have to be very selective with which one you actually get. Mine has a 4 ms repsonse time GTG, which isn't bad at all, and the input lag is on par with most gaming monitors (although not the greatest in that regard). But yeah, if you're super hardcore competitive , (in which case you probably have all your settings on low anyway), may as well get the crappiest looking monitor type (TN) for that competitive, edge.
@@tylerangle2269 response time is not the problem. Response time =/= input lag, two different things. The latter is technically explained in this video, however it is something I can literally "feel".. muscle memory I guess. Numbers are one thing but in the end it is how the user experiences it.
I fully agree with you however that in terms of sharpness IPS is in a totally different league than TN. You don't buy a 240Hz TN panel for rich and sharp colors, I am completely aware of that. I definitely feel a difference in CS:GO in terms of my individual performance (global elite rank, I have around 5k hours and played FPS games since the late 90's, I'm ancient old compared to you haha, 35 to be precise) I'm not a god, but I'm pretty alright at any FPS game I try to play. I must have played tens of thousands of hours of competitive FPS shooters (half-life DM, quake 3, lots of CS, I'm also playing Valorant now, it's quite cool actually) and come from an era where overclocking my CRT monitor to 165Hz was a thing. Anyhow - I am going off topic.. what I wanted to say is that my performance in CS:GO was not the same, I felt like my one taps were off, as if I had to sometimes aim slightly before or after the head, my spray sometimes wouldn't properly connect. When I switched my old 144Hz benq back (compared to the 144Hz/1ms VA panel) I immediately popped heads again. Then I knew that my next monitor was going to be the 240Hz BenQ monitor.
It ultimately depends on these things:
- what monitors did you own prior to owning a modern high refreshrate IPS/VA/TN panel, this will influence the kind of difference you see and feel
- are you a competitive FPS gamer where you can get (and feel) the small benefits out of super high FPS/Refreshrate, some people will feel it more than the others, depends on experience and skill level
- if you only play triple A titles @ 4K resolution @ 60FPS, I would always recommend an IPS panel, simply for the way more immersive experience and overall a much better panel (better for reading, desktopping, watching media, .. basically better than everything than a TN and also VA apart from the prior mentioned stuff)
It is just very important to know what exactly you are going to use the monitor the most for. And even if it were mainly for gaming, what type of games you're going to play.
@@tylerangle2269 "Rich deep blacks" on an IPS? Try a good VA panel, they blow ips away in that regard.

What's your experience with playing Dota 2 on a colour accurate monitor vs a high refresh rate? What would recommend for the Dota players out there? Low input lag and high refresh rate seem less important and I think the colours in the game are beautiful.
Currently running a Dell 2k 144hz TN Gsync and a 1080p 60HZ IPS as a secondary. I used to run a 4K IPS and I would take the ner 2K TN panel I have any day. Dell has solid color reproduction. Certainly better than the ASUS 1080p TN I had about 5 years ago. If I want great color and a laid back gaming experience I can always hook the PC up with a controller to my LG Nancell 4K TV. Even running games at 1440p on that looks incredible, runs well, and allows for 120hz. But when I'm playing Rainbow Six or other FPS games, TN is unbeatable in terms of response and price.

How big is the fps difference between cpus in 1440p? Like fx6300 vs ryzen 2600 with a 1070 ti

Dont va panels have ghosting and smearing though? That's the one thing that puts me off and the slower response times
@@jameshay6926 To some extent yes, although i got used to it pretty quickly and hardly notice it any more. So many 'fast' games these days have motion blur anyway though!
I dont get it, there is FPS which was usually the indicator how fluent a game runs, i compare it to water vs an old super 8 Film. On the other side there is hz which was in the past at least here in europe 60hz all the time. So my question is, do you need 144hz when your graphic card can not do 60fps at 1440P ? Will you see a difference in youtube 1440P videos or in windows compared to a 60hz screen? The thing is i have an old Ryzen 5 2600 with a 1030 geforce for browsing the web and youtube etc..
