Absolutely NOT.

It would be a downgrade in your overall experience.

If you play FPS you would hate yourself for having made that step.

What are you actually aiming for? Do you want a bigger screen? 3d? I am unsure what your specific need is

3d is a gimmick you will use about 3 times and then decide it is overall tedious. It isn't worth it for games and only some movies work properly with it.

120 Mhz though is already a nice refresh rate and will vastly improve your experience.

144Hz is the ultimate solution, only bested by G-sync for Nvidia or Freesync for AMD.

If you have the budget, look into those two technologies, depending on your hardware. If it is between these two, I recommend the 144Hz screen. You won't believe the smoothness.

Can you please post ur specs, for better advice from us?

They are both quite different, the 27 inch one comes with the Nvidia 3d vision receiver built in, and comes with a pair of glasses. The 24 inch needs the 3d vision kit separately.

Otherwise they are very similar, the 120 vs 144 hz won't really have a noticeable difference.

Both will make good gaming monitors. I'd recommend the bigger one, bigger screens are so much better.

So yeah, on that spec PC, I can recommend you look at Gsync monitors. They are just amazing.

Even when a game drops down into low FPS for some reason, it remains playable in those moments as the monitor and gpu work in harmony to push an exactly agreed amount of FPS.

It is vastly superior to fixed refresh rates and V-sync.

Again, if you pick from the monitors you mention, Personally I would chose the smaller 144hz screen over the bigger 120hz screen. At that res a bigger screen wont always look nicer.

Getting a slightly bigger screen with a lower refresh rate at the same resolution won't result in you feeling like you upgraded...

Once you enter the highest refresh rate arena it is hard to get used to less.

From a value for money/noticeable difference perspective this is just not a wise move.

If you are desperate for a bigger screen, look elsewhere, there are many good monitors out there which fulfill your need:

Gsync (which will feel like another BIG step up) 27 inch
