Hey guys, I need advice. I use my PC mostly for gaming and have a GTX 670 video card in my build, which will run most games above 60 fps. After much research I still can't decide between a 120hz TN monitor or an IPS monitor. I really like the IPS's better color and wider viewing angles, though I'm a bit worried about the motion blur and input lag.
Another thing that I'm concerned about is that some people say playing games above 60 fps on a 60hz monitor will not allow me to see the frames above 60 and cause screen tearing. Is this true? How much smoother is a game on a 120hz as opposed to an IPS? Are the viewing angles on a TN really that bad? I plan on getting a 23.6"
For reference I don't play games very competitively. I do play Battlefield 3, but I play for fun, and I play RPG's just as much as FPS's.
