Hi, I’m looking for a new monitor that will replace my current HP LP2465.
I want it to be bigger, be an IPS or PLS panel, non PWM and flicker free.
I’m not a hardcore gamer, but I do play games, and I enjoy ultra or high graphics quality. I rarely play fps intense games, but I hate lag in any games I play.
I also work a lot with photo and video editing (sRGB is sufficient). And of course the normal sufing, emailing, wathing youtube and movies and word processing tasks.
I have a Core i7-4770K processor and a Asus Nvidia GTX 780 DC2OC graphics card.
I’m looking at two possible variants:
1. 27” 2560x1440, WQHD
2. 32” 3840 x 2160, UHD 4K
Then there is the question about 144 Hz or 60 Hz. My current HP monitor is 60 Hz and I find everything working very smooth, nothing that bothers me. I’ve never experienced a 144 Hz monitor, so I’m wondering whether it’s worthwhile for me to get a 144 Hz monitor? Considering my graphics card might struggle.
Note that I use my monitors for a very long time. I’ve used my HP for 10 years now, and want the new monitor to last just as long. So I’m looking for a fairly future proof monitor with great quality. I change my computer almost every 3 years, but my monitor I want to keep for a lot longer before I buy a new one.
So the question is, do I get a 27” monitor where there is a lot of features to choose from, like 144 Hz, G-Sync and so on (like the Acer Predator XB270HU). Or do I go with a 32” 4k monitor (like the Acer 32" B326HK)? Or do I wait a bit longer?
