which 1440p to go for?

i had no idea that monitor refresh rates were measured in mhz and not hz. also i had no idea that 120hz was required to play games. 60hz is fine for any game unless you play css competitively. all you really need is a decent clocked 780 to run 1440p. and at that resolution you dont need much AA. and its silly to adopt 4k right now since its a very new tech.

also, what is G-Syng? I'm aware of G-Sync.

Yeah sorry, i wrote it from mobile.

For 120hz you need 120 Fps and up.
For 144hz you need 144 Fps and up.


G-Sync 1440p 120hz monitor vs without G-Sync 4K 60hz Monitor.


60hz vs 120hz has a diff in every FPS games like Crysis, BF, if you can't see a diff go get some glass to reduce the blur.

but this extra still doesn't worth extra 300$ .


Ive owned a PB278Q for about 2 weeks. No regrets :toast: more pricey than korean monitors but at least the warranty is there.

Korean are IPS , ur is PLS/TN.

and that why price is almost same. ( koreans still cheaper )

You dont need 120fps or 144fps really. Even below that refresh rate but over 60, is still going to have less blur then being locked at 60.
 
Go with an Overlord Computer 1440p panel, they are LG panels and can overclock to 120Hz.
 
He already bought the Asus from Amazon.

not yet. tomorrow morning.

60 fps is completely fine in any game. 120 fps is only really needed if you competitively play first person shooters or similar.

thanks all for the opinions. ill be getting the Asus.

meh debateable, higher fps can be nice on anything. Really depends on the person.

If you bought 144hz monitor and you're playing in 60fps .. lol it's unless, the price you paid for him.


and Asus are nice, samsung ftw ! :)
 
Does ASUS have zero-bright pixel warranty like Dell? If so I'd go for Dell.

As far as I know many companies treat 1 or 2 bad pixels as not exchangeable in warranty.

I'd hate to have that single pixel stuck. It happened to me on my U3011 a couple of days after delivery and Dell exchanged it back without questions, for just 1 pixel.

I'm going Dell every single purchase just because of this, I know what having a bright/dead pixel is and I'll never want to deal with it again, even if it was for 2 days.

why would anyone buy a 144hz monitor if theyre only planning to have enough power to play in 60 fps?
