Hi
I am looking for a 120hz or 144hz monitor it has to be 23-24inch i cannot have it any bigger as it would be uncomfortable, but like most people i do have a budget. I have around £150-£300 to spend, of course the cheaper the better but i understand you get what you pay for.
I will be running a GTX 760 so i understand that i wont bet getting 100+fps on the newer games that are out, but i have been told that i should still get a 120hz or 144hz monitor.
Now i will be casual gaming on it. I am not interested in any hardcore competitions so i dont think i need a ridiculously fast response time. However i dont want to be able to notice the input lag.
I will be also using it for editing photos that i have taken, this is where i am stuck. I understand that IPS monitors are the best for colour but lack in the response time and also cost quite a bit more than a TN panel.
I have also heard a lot about g-sync and freesync. I know the monitors that have these features build-in cost considerably more than ones without.
Overall i am looking for a monitor that offers the best of both really, which i know is a lot to ask for and my budget doesn't help. I want the monitor to have excellent colour but also quick response times.
Here are a few monitors i have been looking at but i have also been told that the manufactures lie about the spec of the monitor and it can be considerably slower that advertised.
Acer GN246HLBid
BenQ XL2411Z
Asus MX239H
Asus VX239H-W
AOC G2460PQU
I understand that some of these monitors my not be 120hz or 144hz. This is why i am asking on here for some help and advice to help me whittle down my choices.
Any advice, examples and recommendations are more than welcome.
