Monitor recommendation
Posted: 03 Jan 2018, 06:40
Hello,
a bunch of questions for the monitor recommendation, please bear with me : )
I have an old Samsung SyncMaster 27" 60hz 1080p that I want to change. Apparently I am fps sensitive because I very clearly see the 60fps movement stutter. Sadly I live in a small eastern European country and nobody that I know and no shop has a high hz monitor on display to compare for myself.
The effect I'm hoping for is to get a completely clear movement - in fps games it has to be same clarity when moving camera compared to non moving image. The question is 1) if 144hz is enough or should I shoot for 120hz+ulmb? 2) Is ULMB something that is geared to the complete pro gamer only? I'm not so much into having the slight gaming advantage as into not being annoyed by unnatural movement. 3) I generally play in a dark room, would ULMB make the colors look significantly worse?
The monitor should be GSync UW IPS panel, though AFAIK there are only a couple of these in the market. 4) Are there any upcoming good ones that I should wait for?
Also Im not sure about resolution - I am slightly annoyed by my 27" even when I crank up AA to the max, so I'm hoping the UW to be 1440p and for FPS games balance graphics out and sometimes even reduce the resolution to 1080p - is that a good idea? 5) I mean does 1080p rez on 1440p display look worse compared to 1080p rez on 1080p display on same size monitor (35")?
