Need help with picking monitor

az90 · Apr 16, 2015

Hi,
I need help with deciding the monitor for my self out of these two . (budget is around 200-250 CAD$)
the two choices that i see are

http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824014345 ( benq 24" )

http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824236288&_ga=1.134578737.1940281290.1428215147 (Asus 23 " )

I cant decide out of these two which one has a good histrory and will be a good investment.

I have r9 290 if that matters.

Thanks

1 ms (GTG) sounds amazing , 5ms not much for action games, more feedback needed

I heard 1ms to 5 ms doesnt make a big difference. so i dont think i cant weight out only based on that. what about picture quality brand quality etc

He only mentioned the ASUS, and this part is self explanatory "a friend has the IPS (the one you linked) and it looks gorgeous without fiddleling much".

Do you need him to draw you a picture? :rolleyes:

1 ms and 5 ms, making no different.. .001 seconds vs .005 seconds,

IF you are casual gamer go with IPS monitor, most ips monitor is 60 hz and 5 ms.

If you competitve gamer then go with 1ms, 144 hz

As good excuse as any, and it actually starts making more sense of the gaming/PC glasses discussed in another thread. Often times it's not your body or mind being tired that causes such things, but your eyes themselves being screen weary.
