Best 1080p Gaming Monitor for around $150 w/ GTX 970

JdogAwesome · Feb 26, 2015

So my friend is looking for a good 1080p monitor for gaming. He plays games like Dayz, Minecraft, Arma 3 etc and some more AAA titles. His budget is around $100-200 so something in that range would be great! I was looking for some suggestions as well as feed back on some possible choices.

1. SAMSUNG S24C200BL Matte Black 23.6" 5ms (GTG) Widescreen LED

2.ASUS VN279Q Black 27" 5ms HDMI Widescreen LED Backlight Ultra Wide View Monitor

3.Asus VE248H Black 24" 2ms Full HD HDMI LED Backlight LCD Monitor

(All on Newegg)

Really any of these Asus monitors would be a good choice in that price range.

When looking at 1080p monitors, try to not exceed the 23" mark because if you go higher than that, then you will start to notice pixelation, if you stay on 23" or lower, this will not happen as the ppi is high enough to the human eye not to notice, of course, from a certain distance. The only reason to go above 23" should be if you will be slightly farther away from your monitor. For example, with a 23" monitor, if you are at 1.5 feet or more away from it, you will not notice any pixelation. If you try to do this with a 27" monitor, the results will not be the same, at 1.5 feet away from it, not only will the image be too big, but also you will easily see many pixels throughout the monitor, like when going to the theater and sitting in the front row.

That isn't the case. I use a 24" 1080P monitor and a 50" 1080P Plasma with no problem with pixelation. As long as the monitor is of good quality and the video source is good, you shouldn't have problems with pixelation. The only time I see pixelation on the 50" plasma (in normal HDTV viewing) has been due to weather interference of my satellite signal. The satellite signal is sensitive to tall thunder storms and heavy rain.

The quality of the game can also generate a distorted video signal.

The other source of pixelation in gaming is micro-stuttering, but that isn't related to the monitor size either. That is again a video signal quality issue from the graphics card. It would show up on whatever monitor that you were viewing on.

The only thing that is related to the monitor size in this question is the size of the pixelation. Pixelation will become more obvious on larger monitors if you keep the resolution the same. I have an Asus VG248QE 144Hz 24" 1080P gaming monitor. It has no problem with pixelation. The standard right now for gaming monitors is a 27" 1440P monitor. Once 4K technology matures, that will be the next standard.

I use a benq GL2460, costs about £100-£140 and it's a fantastic 24" 1080p monitor.
