So I'm pretty new to researching monitors so I thought I'd get help from you guys. I'm currently using a 24inch Samsung 1920x1080 60hz monitor. I'm not sure of the specific model.

I was looking for a bit of an upgrade. Anything above 60hz and one step above 1080p (which I believe is 1440p).I don't know much about the pros and cons of certain monitors at this point except from what I read a moment ago on this website. That new Nvidia G Sync technology seems really cool but I haven't been able to find any monitors that have it yet (and are within my price range). I'm looking to spend anywhere from $200-$350

The rest of my specs are as follows;

AMD 8350 processor

EVGA Geforce 780 ACX Superclocked (my love)

8GB RAM


and the rest is probably irrelevant (an SSD, an HDD, and blah blah blah... ) I have heard that Benq monitors work well with Nvidia and Samsung work well with AMD GPUs. Not sure if this is just hearsay or its true. Anyway, advice and recommendations are welcome.

Thanks.

Qnix QX2710 fits the bill, though you'll have to import it. $300, PLS, 100Hz, 1440p, though it is 27".

The Qnix monitor cookybiscuit suggested is the cheapest 1440p option available. The next cheapest is ASUS' $500 option. Qnix isn't unbelievably reputable but the reviews seem to be positive and they use Samsung panels, so it can't be that bad.

I've done that test myself and didn't get that result, guess maybe its a monitor by monitor thing. Either way, 100Hv with drops is still going to be 100x better than 60Hz.
