Help choosing a panel

[Evvvvv]

So guys I have this PC:

CPU: i7 8700K
MB: Asus STRIX Z370E Gaming
RAM: GSkill TridentZ 3200MHz
PSU: Corsair RM750i
GPU: Asus Turbo 970

I do gaming, I do Photoshop, I do Illustrator, I enjoy watching movies so I would like some insight so Id get to a conclusion between : BENQ PD2700Q and Samsung S25HG50 so..

Benq: -Bigger its 27"
-IPS
-2K

Samsung: -144Hz
-50 euros cheaper

The rest is really all good for both. But I really want to decide on something and not regret it, also a con for Samsung is its FreeSync and Ill never buy AMD GPU ever again.

I wouldn't consider the Samsung then. Whether you use the FreeSync or not, you will be paying extra for it. Find another optional monitor with out FreeSync.

I don't know what model of Benq that you are referring to but of the two I'd choose that one.

I do like 144Hz monitors though. If you have a sufficient graphics card, the 144 Hz is a good option. It helps with screen tearing, and it provides a very smooth display.

Yeah but prices are so high up for all of that, Id like 2K and 144Hz regardless of the panel, but that is just way outside of mu budget. And I still wonder in between TN and IPS everyday

 

[terry4536]

High end IPS are acceptable gaming monitors. But on cheaper monitors the response time goes up on IPS monitors. That's the reason why you don't see many IPS gaming monitors (and the ones that you do see are expensive).

But if you look there are some 144 Hz monitors that aren't that expensive.

Here are a few to look at.

Well how important is colour accuracy and viewing angles? If the answer is very important then the TN panel is out already...

It would be a good choice. I've had an Asus VG248QE 144 Hz monitor for a few years, and I like it. Be prepared to turn down the brightness.

Viewing angles not so much, I dont really care, Im usually in front of the screen. I care about the size of it a lot.
46200 is my max. => http://itsvet.com/monitor-pda1-31.i

The only experience that I've had with Samsung monitors wasn't very positive (it died).

But with that 4K monitor, you would need a high end graphics card and power supply to drive it. What is your power supply?
