Looking for a 1440p monitor with a high refresh

[lockstercarbz]

I'm looking for a 1440p monitor that has a refresh rate between 75-100Hz, needs an IPS panel and a DP connection preferably. If a 1080p monitor has the same specs (apart from refresh rate, would be good to see refresh between 120-144Hz), that would be a good buy as well. As for size, 27" or lower would be great! A price of around £300 would be fine, maybe stretching to £320.

Thanks for your help!

Edit: I'm pairing it with a GTX 1080, which can get decent frames on 1440p, 75fps on average I suppose, and then often frames in the hundreds with 1080p, but either or both monitor examples would be highly appreciated.

I believe you are asking for a monitor that doesn't exist.

Cheapest high refresh rate QHD display is £400, and it is a freesync monitor:

If you want something cheaper than that, I suggest poking around and getting a Korean monitor shipped direct. Maybe try massdrop.

Awww, that's a shame. Thank you for your help anyway, I guess my budget is going up then

You should be able to find some 24" 1080p panels for £200 or so, they will not be IPS (or VA). But they will be 1ms 144hz or more. ASUS has 180hz and 240hz monitors out there.

You are right that the GTX1080 can get 75-100FPS on recent game titles maxed out. A few settings changes and it will easily do 144hz @ 1440p.

If you relax on the IPS requirements: https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/product/7TrcCJ/asus-pb277q-270-75hz-monitor-pb277q

Thanks for all your suggestions and help. In general, would higher refresh rates reduce tearing, for example, would there be less tearing if you were running at 120fps on a 144Hz monitor than running at 100fps on a 60Hz monitor?

Depending on how things line up the tearing might be noticeably worse. All depends on where those runt frames land. It becomes very noticeable when the split between frames is in the middle of the screen constantly.

Ideally you adjust your graphics settings so your average frame rate is as close to the native refresh rate as possible. Or you enable V-sync. V-sync increases latency but eliminates tearing when your GPU can maintain the FPS above that of the refresh rate.

I suppose that's a good solution until I can get a G-Sync monitor, there is a particular monitor I have my eye on.
