Seeking advice on a monitor purchase

Post by Krnikos » 31 May 2018, 05:26

I am looking to purchase a new monitor (144hz or 240hz), and had a few questions -》 I mainly play overwatch,fortnite and pubg on a pretty good level (nothing spectacular but ok) and felt like it was time to upgrade from my 60hz benq, but I have no idea what the best monitor for me would be...
My requirements are:
•144hz or 240hz
(Idk what is worth it at my budget and games played)
•Black equilizer
(Felt like this was very handy in pubg)
•a low motion blur mode
(I despice motion blur)
My budget is around 400€
(My current rig is:
I7 8700k
16gb ram
Gtx 960 (got a 1070ti coning in next week))

How can you despise motion blur if you're on 60Hz :P

Anyway, there's several threads around here asking the same question. Just take a moment to browse a bit.

Tried the benq xl2456 for a week or so and it was so much better in terms of motion blur, and now everytime I play on my 60hz I can feel/see it and it annoys me.

Would be nice, but I think my question is a little more specific than most of those posts because I am not sure how 144hz is compared to 240hz and 60hz and what monitor I should go with (keeping my budget and "whishlist in mind) when the games I play in terms of most played is like this 70% pubg, 15% ow and 15% fortnite. Sorry for my bad english btw.

The answer is the same pretty much all the time, if it fits your budget get the cheapest 240hz G-Sync, they all use the same panel and their performance is identical and pretty great.

If you can't afford a G-Sync then it's kind of a crapshoot because no one would have all the different 240hz and know how they all stack up in terms of 'blur' aka how good their 'Over Drive' implementation is.
