Im stuck on choosing a monitor for my gaming/editing build. My video card will surely get more than 60 fps, since i dont play on ultra, mostly medium to high (either 7970 or the new amd cards so i can get bf4 with it) so im not sure if the 144hz is better than a 27inch monitor.. the 27 inch will MAYBE help while editing and having longer timelines but its not really a big deal.. i do like having a big screen. But then again the 144hz could come in useful while gaming.. help me choose guys :C

More about : 144hz 24in 60hz 27in

I would say that depends on the displays. If your are talking about a 24" 1080p against a 27" 2560x1600 then you will enjoy the big display more than the 144 Hz. But If the 27" monitor you are talking about is 1080p too then you won't notice much difference on 3 more inches while the 144 Hz will be clearly better looking at

I would personally go for the 144Hz. I personally find refresh rate more helpful than higher resolution or screen size, on the other hand, I'm a competitive gamer.

Well my answer would be "it depends" ... with nVidia cards, I'd say get the 144Hz and Lightboost just about eliminates motion blur. Scroll down to the pics of the lil alien dude in his flying saucer to get an idea of what it does.

is the resolution the same?

just remember, that when gaming, you will have to be able to push high fps, your 144hz would not matter if you cannot even hit 60fps.
i have a 120hz 27 inch, but i only have a few games where i can push 120. bf3, only >60

Depends on games you play. I have a 2560x1440 monitor and I have over 100 frames and my system is an old Phenom II x4 and a 6850 vga. But I mostly play Team Fortress 2, CoD: MW3, WoW and LoL. I also don't see much difference when I put all settings to the highest possible so a 60 frames 27" high ress monitor was the best deal for me.
Again depends on you personal needs and the games you usually play. If you are a CS-like games advanced player then I would suggest the 144 Hz monitor.

I honestly think when 27" 1080p is mentioned a good example should be shown to why 23" 24" would be better at that resolution. Have a look at the video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7vt0CJcUi4w

So if you really wanna go 27" go 1440p and others thats recommending a 27" 1080p should always explain this so the buyer knows what there getting them selfs into. Now if they ok with how it looks thats fine

Thats the question that needs to be answered.
If you have two screens of differing physical size and the same resolution, you still have the same amount of "desktop" to work with on both screens, just one of them is blown up that extra few inches.

In the context of your question and perceived benefits, what you really want to be asking is 120hz 1080p vs 60hz 1440p screen. Personally, I would go for the 1440p screen over a 120hz (actually I would buy three 1080p screens for the price of either, but anyway).

Sadly both screens are at 1080p. Sorry for not mentioning that. :/  The 1440p 27 inch is out of my budget, in the future though i will definately go 1440 :T It seems everyone is telling me to get the 24 inch, so thats what i will do. Either going with the asus or the Benq 120hz

Well have you looked into the qnix? http://www.amazon.com/QNIX-QX2710-Evolution-LED-Monitor...

The review makes the choice easier

http://pcmonitors.info/others/benq-xl2411t-vs-asus-vg24...

If ya gonna use kit outta the box and live in Europe, grab the BneQ

If ya willing to install ICC profile and live in US, get the Asus

http://pcmonitors.info/others/benq-xl2411t-vs-asus-vg24...

Quote:
In this comparison between the two monitors it is really very difficult to pick a clear winner. It is certainly worth looking through our reviews of both models for a more thorough analysis. The XL2411T has a slight edge in its colour quality with better gamma handling at 144Hz. It is possible to improve things on the desktop, where most users would find these issues most noticeable, by applying an ICC profile. We provide one for AMD and another for Nvidia users in our VG248QE review.

Both monitors are exceptionally responsive and can also be used (in a hacky way, currently) by Nvidia users with LightBoost in 2D for a ‘CRT-like’ blur-free experience. LightBoost aside, the ASUS does have a slight edge here in that it has more flexible pixel overdrive options. In its intermediate settings it maintains excellent pixel responsiveness and very low levels of ‘conventional trailing’, whilst suffering from less inverse ghosting than the BenQ (AMA High or Premium). Not all users are bothered by this, though.

With both having their pros and cons the real clincher could be the price and availability. In the United States only the ASUS is currently available – and is available at an excellent price of under $300. In many other regions the price is a bit higher and the BenQ model is actually available to consider. In the UK, for example, the ASUS typically costs around £300 whereas the BenQ typically costs £240 or under. The only real reason to plump for the VG248QE, for £60 more, would be if you know that the inverse ghosting would bother you. Or you prefer how it looks. Or, perhaps, that your graphics card lacks a DVI output but offers DisplayPort or Mini DisplayPort.

i have 27inch 1080p, 1080 is fine for me for now (anything higher is too expensive)

i have s27a950d, i think it's sexy, in terms of color, it's the best i have ever had so far (well most expensive too).
didn't buy it because of the 3d (mainly just for the 120hz, and looks lol, and good reviews)
buy i ended up watching 3d movies via ps3, which is nice

I don't think anything higher exists. At least I have never come across a 2560 x 1600 120Hz screen

The "Yamakasi Catleap Extreme 2B" can be overclocked to 120hz (most of the time) and is a 1440p IPS monitor.
But as a general rule, 120hz is the domain of 1080p.

Don't forget that QNIX has a 8ms reponse time, which is really slow comparing to any other monitor with lower resolution but the same price range. I personally wouldn't accept anything above 1-2ms for a gaming monitor.

But ends up as a 120hz monitor or being limited to tn/1080p which is a no go for me after being on a PLS/1440p
