I currently have a 1080p 60hz monitor, I was about to buy a 1080p 144hz monitor until I heard of various issues with haveing 2 different monitors in a dual monitor set up. As well as motion sickness from seeing 2 different refresh rates. I was wondering if this is true, or whether it would affect me.

Current monitor: (I think, but same specs) http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824236153

Monitor, I am planning on adding: http://amzn.to/25zzOAF

Depends on what you are trying to do. If you are just going to use your current monitor as a secondary display then there are no issues. If you are trying to use them as a spanned display (meaning half of game on one, half on other) there could be an issue. I think it will drop the refresh rate to the lower value in this case but I am not sure as i've never tried it. Then there is the issue of the differing colors of them, this is often quite dramatic. This is why you would want a matched set if you are going to try surround view (Nvidia) or eyefinity (AMD)
