Memes aside, who should I be looking at for the best gaming monitors...

I've used 144hz.

Im gonna be honest 1440p is starting to be not high end...
MINIMUM(NOT RECOMENDED) to be considered High end monitors by last eras
2005-2010 720p +60hz
2010-2015 1080p +60hz
2015-2020 1440 +60hz
Obviously the new rage in 2020-... will be 4k preferable +100hz but as long its +60hz its accepted(BUT ON THE EDGE OF NOT BEING HIGH END)

Here's some really helpful advice:
Avoid newegg. You're fucked if you have less than 8 dead pixels.
>Newegg.com adheres to the dead-pixel policy that is observed by the majority of our manufacturers. In order to declare any product with an LCD screen "defective" and eligible for replacement or refund through any applicable Newegg.com Return Policy, there must be a minimum of 8 (eight) dead LCD pixels.

You were running it at 60Hz then, tons of people buy 144Hz monitors then do stuff like use HDMI (which can't go past 60Hz)

Otherwise, you're lying.

>2005-2010 720p +60hz

You obviously weren't alive.

1080p was standard for desktop LCD monitors ever since people stopped using 4:3 1024x768 monitors.

720p monitors almost never existed.

I'm not extremely rich and I have one of those that I spent $700+ on. They're worth every penny IMO considering I use it every day that I'm at home.

Learn how to save money and not spend unnecessarily.

>You were running it at 60Hz then
>Otherwise, you're lying.
Holy shit, they've got you good. You're so fucking indoctrinated that you think it's impossible for anyone's life to not be changed by 144hz and for them to ever be able to go back. This is embarrassing.

144hz is luxury. It's smooth and it's pretty, but it has zero benefit for gaming and just like RGB "gamer" keyboards it's purely an aesthetic thing and it only exists to make money. I'd rather spend my money on a low-lag (which the only thing that actually matters for gaming) 60hz IPS that actually has a good picture and is reasonably priced.

You're a victim of marketing.

Just a heads up that while high refresh rate IPS monitors are great in terms of color and view angle, they are inherently motion blurrier than TN. It's not all that noticeable in game in my experience, but definitely noticeable on the desktop. Pixels trail. With that said, I don't regret paying $700 for it.

I started playing pc in that era desu, I remember I had a pretty good monitor and it wasnt 1080p but 16:9 ,maybe I slipped there but whats the point ? we are talking about 1440p thats the focal point autist

>I'm not extremely rich and I have one of those that I spent $700+ on.

You're not "extremely rich", but you're rich and privledged.

The large majority of Americans live paycheck to paycheck or worse (homeless etc.). If you have $700 to spend on a monitor, you're doing better than over 90% of America, and a similarly large percentage for the rest of the western world.

>but it has zero benefit for gaming
Well for one, you just contradicted yourself. Gaming is entertainment, and if it makes it smoother and prettier, that inherently improves the experience. Second, you actually do have a faster response time and less input lag on higher refresh rate monitors. You also literally see more visual information per second and are able to potentially react better in a game.

>If you have $700 to spend on a monitor, you're doing better than over 90% of America.

Not necessarily. I just don't spend my money elsewhere by choice. I don't have expensive children, cook most of my food and generally live within my means. Most of those living paycheck to paycheck are doing so entirely because of their frivolous day to day spending.

>The large majority of Americans live paycheck to paycheck or worse (homeless etc.). If you have $700 to spend on a monitor, you're doing better than over 90% of America, and a similarly large percentage for the rest of the western world.
There's that pesky anti American propaganda again.

You're obviously just upset that you bought a 60Hz monitor and you're going through some kind of weird cope where you want to deny the difference between 144Hz and 60Hz.

The difference is massive.

>a low-lag (which the only thing that actually matters for gaming)
Professional FPS players won't even play without 240Hz.

just get a pixio px277h unless you care about gsync

That entirely depends from what you're upgrading from. If you're used to 1080p@60hz then the bump to 1440p@144/165hz is huge. 4K is nice and everything, but 1440p is a nice sweet spot between resolution and performance at the time for gaming at least and framerate is still king.

>Well for one, you just contradicted yourself. Gaming is entertainment, and if it makes it smoother and prettier, that inherently improves the experience.
So RGB keyboards with game-directed lighting are important gaming equipment? Because this is your logic.

>You're obviously just upset that you bought a 60Hz monitor and you're going through some kind of weird cope where you want to deny the difference between 144Hz and 60Hz.
Your insecurity and defensiveness tells it all. You're a victim of marketing and you can't swallow the fact that other people didn't fall for it.

>So RGB keyboards with game-directed lighting are important gaming equipment? Because this is your logic.
I wasn't talking about RGB, I was talking about higher refresh rate monitors, which is what the thread is about. Stay on topic and stop moving the goal post or we're not taking you seriously.

Try actually reading the posts you reply to next time.

I did and replied accordingly. I'm sorry you don't understand that. Maybe try some Alpha Brain.

Thanks for admitting you were wrong!

you didn't read his original post did you

You clearly didn't if you see a clear and relevant comparison that was already made before and go UHH NO WE'RE NOT TALKING ABOUT THAT

I'm sorry, I don't think I can help unretard you.

OP, if you can afford it, go for it. 165hz 1440p is fucking rad, but just a heads up, it will ruin console gaming for you. I can't play 30hz games anymore.

>samefagging
>ad hominem
Concession accepted!

Asus PG279Q checking in here. It's pretty fucking rad.

>144hz is a scam

Says the pleb who has never tried it. You will never want to go back to 60hz ever again.

I told you twice now I've used it
Stop being a retard and just digging yourself into a deeper hole

Was looking at that one actually. 700 is pretty steep but I imagine I could get 5 or 6 years out of it so long as it doesn't break. Just built a brand new rig (2070RTX) so i'm already in for a bit of dosh, but if it's worth it..Mmh.
Kinda tempted to get a 4K one for HDR, though I'd never actually play games in 4k, it's not beefy enough for that. Might use it as a screen for my PS4 Pro for awhile so it'd be nice for that...but eh, in the long run it's primarily PC focused.

Good to know it's nice thoug, thanks.

This is true, but it's only because normalfags are ridiculously stupid with their money. They're the type of people who buy music and pay for cable. They're fucking retarded and extremely susceptible to marketing and following trends, they keep buying things because they think it gives them status and because they are literally too fucking dumb to know how to get the same shit for less or for free. Most Americans are in shittons of debt too because this country is nothing more than a social experimental playground for rich New York Jews to see what new levels of debt slavery they can dupe these dumbasses into. The secret to having money is to just not fucking spend it, it's not that fucking hard, people are just fucking retarded.

Read this shit.
I recommend PG279Q.

had it for 3 years, it's p good I guess
G-Sync/FreeSync is the biggest upgrade for me since getting a SSD

Buy used. I was looking for a month and got mine, basically pristine, for $400. Was gonna cost twice that after taxes and fees retail.

I kind of regret going with 1440p because it makes all my games a bit harder to run for not much difference than 1080p. I think the biggest difference I noticed was a high refresh rate. Low ms seems like a meme, I got 1 ms and dont notice much of a difference than my second 5ms monitor

>sub 4k

1440p and RTX 2070.

Second this display, but it definitely has more motion blur compared to a TN panel. Also I know buying used is significantly cheaper, but it's such a fucking gamble. I don't buy relatively new tech used and having a limited warranty definitely is part of that.

But if you weren't full of shit, you know he's right. The difference between 120+hz and 60hz is pretty equivalent to going from 30 to 60.

Like others have said Zowie and Asus are fine monitors and so are Benq. I've got a few questions for you that would help narrow this down.

What GPU do you have and what games do you play?

I have also heard good things about Acer Predator monitors, anyone feel free to call me a fag if that's wrong.

All that said my room is kinda small and I only play Smash and Fightan seriously so 60hz 1080p is fine for me.

You don't appreciate more desktop space?

120hz TN for gaming and ultrawide IPS 75hz or whatever u want for productivity

People only pretend to notice that 4ms difference because they want to be gold in CSGO

Not if you scale up your desktop. Otherwise the icons are too small. My vision's close to perfect too, it's just a matter of comfort.

Seconding the Dell S2716DG, if you can get it for 300-400 USD (On sale half the time) it blows anything else out of the water. 1440 at 144hz is good for:
>Low end games you can run at 144hz, even if the pixelshit graphics dont care for 1440p
>High end games you can run at 1440p 60hz high settings or 90-144 fps with low settings
>Medium games that can take full advantage of both the resolution and framerate

IPS is good, but too expensive to replace TN, especially if you care less about color reproduction and want to push resolution, framerate, input lag, motion blur, etc. People claiming bad viewing angles because TN panel are bad at life, or need to, for some reason, look at a monitor from 160 degrees constantly.

this desu
>tfw turning on ULMB for the first time
it's like going back to high refresh rate CRTs but with better resolution

TN is cancer. It's like your screen is eternally dirty. What type of display prevents this?

IPS

uh no the standard was very much 1366x768 for SEVERAL years.
