So it's time to upgrade my monitor. I bought an AOC monitor 2 or 3 years ago, Always had issues with screen tearing, and ever since i got it, my gaming skills have gone way down. And i just want on this
http://frames-per-second.appspot.com
Mine is supposed to be 60fps, and when i play it on my 17" vga screen, it's smooth. And my main AOC monitor it was crazy choppy. This whole time i never realised. I guess the boasted "2ms" was bullshit too? Specially since the monitor is like 1 or 2cm thick.
Anyway back on topic, i've been looking at 1440p and and 120hz monitors etc, and i heard about people buying QNIX monitors from korea that are 1440p and then boosted to 100hz. That's amazing, and better than even BenQ and Asus are doing. The only thing putting me off is the "6-8ms" response time, because it's a PLS display. Is it as good as a 120hz BenQ or VG278HE or VG248QE?
Also i am hearing a lot of talk about "Ghosting" "bleeding" "dead pixels" etc. Are these all prominent issues from these monitors?
A 17" monitor may have a resolution of 1020 x 1024. That is about 1m pixels that the graphics card to manage.
A larger 1080P monitor will have twice that.
If your graphics card and cpu are not strong enough to deliver 60 frames per second to the monitor, it makes little difference how fast the monitor can refresh.
For most, a steady 60fps is good.
For a professional gamer, it is worth paying a bunch for stronger graphics, cpu, and monitor capable of 120fps.
1440P is 2560 x 1440. Or about 3.7m pixels It takes a strongish card like a GTX780 to deliver frames at 60fps.
an event that responds in 8ms can happen 125 times per second.
How good do you need to be?
People seem to be happy with the QNIX monitors as to quality.
I use a Nixeus vue 30" 2560 x 1600 monitor and am very pleased with the image and the larger gaming image.
On a game like civ4, movement at 60fps is smooth with a GTX780.
I am not so experienced with fast action shooter type games.
I think you buy a higher resolution monitor for the visual benefits before the response time benefits.
I do not think there is any significant problem from image quality.
