Best monitor for fast paced FPS in 2017?

[Dodorian]

My 2233rz died recently, so im on my laptop, I cant stand the shitty 60hz screen any longer.
The 2233rz was making some high pitched noise, 2 months later when I turn it on, the screen goes black after 1 second. I can't be bothered trying to fix it, I would like to upgrade to something better which hopefully has better colors.

Anyone can recommend me one? I don't want 4k and I don't want 240hz because I can't hit 240fps consistently since my computer is old. I play QuakeWorld and Quake 3 and even in those games, in big Clan Arena maps with 16 players sometimes it goes below 240fps so 144hz should be enough.

The ones im considering:

LG 24GM79G-B:

ViewSonic XG2401

I've heard about the BenQ ones but i've heard the colors are pretty bad so it all comes down to those 2.

After doing some research I think the LG is the best TN panel for gaming, has the best colors, the lest ghosting, the best input lag etc, problem is, I can't find the former model (24GM77-B) since it's discontinued, and I can't find anything about the new 24GM79G-B anywhere, so im gambling that they haven't somehow fucked something up in the new model, also it would take like 4 weeks to arrive which is annoying.

The ViewSonic I've seen it on a local shop so I can buy it quicker but I've heard some complains about color quality so im not sure.

The 24” £$210 AOC G2460PF freesync 144hz 1ms (or 1080p 27” g2770pf) & can quickly rotate into portrait mode. Reviews say good color, low input lag. Some say it's the best screen they have used. Flicker-free so no headaches. Just reduce the blue color from 100% to 85% & you'll be fine for night use with no significant impact in blue presentation. This also helps to darken the screen as it is insanely bright.

NOTE When tuning your monitor's brightness and contrast, do it from the picture boost menu in the monitor's built in settings. make sure bright frame is turned on and the frame size is set to 100%. Your picture will be really dim and grey otherwise.

Make sure to set your monitor's refresh rate to 144hz in the windows display adapter properties menu, by default 75hz. Search "ufo test" to see the settings are applied.

Make sure that in windows the option to install unsigned drivers is possible, if you do not know how

Restart PC. Pull out the DisplayPort Cable on the graphic card then put it back after 1 minute.

(For those thinking of ordering from tAxlessmazon: I've heard of people who bought a product which developed a fault after 28 days but within one year & Amazon refused to refund them. You could order it then return it for a refund within 28 days then buy elsewhere from a tax-paying little dealer. Once these dealers disappear tAxlessmazon can then charge anything they like.)
