Hey!
I'm soon gonna get myself a new monitor. I mostly play first person shooters so i am leaning towards 120/144Hz monitor. I've never played on a fast refresh&response monitor before, they say it's awesome. Even better than high resolution..
Till now i've played on a 40 inch Samsung TV. :|
Now i have 4 options that i've narrowed down:
1. 1080p/144Hz/1ms gtg/ 24" - 270€: BenQ XL2411Z
2. 1080p/144Hz/1ms gtg/ 27" - 450€: BenQ XL2720Z
3. 1440p/144Hz/1ms gtg/ 27" - 570€: BenQ XL2730Z
4. 2160p/60Hz/1ms gtg/ 28" - 430 € - Asus PB287Q
I've read and heard so much good about this Benq gaming monitors. Linus praised them a lot as very good tn panels. They are fast coz of TN but they look extra good for being TN. Colors are supposedly nice an punchy etc. He said it's the best TN he's ever seen... so i am quite pumped to get on of those.
1st and 3rd are my best bets for now...
Questions:
1) You think it's worth adding 180€ for 3 more inches? Rest of specs are the same... Fast response time, same panel, same colours.... 270€ is extra cheap for such a good panel, while 450€ not so much anymore...
2) Is there a noticeable difference between 1080p and 1440p? I've never experienced more than 1080p so i have no idea... Third Benq with 1440p and 144Hz is kinda a little over my budget, but if you guys really recommend i might treat myself. I just hope that those extra pixels and 3 inches are worth it.
3) This is really not really an option, just a curiosity. It was always "woow" to me to have a 4K monitor once. This one is really cheap. But i have serious doubts about buying it: 60hz vs 144hz first and most obvious one, i wont be able to run games at 4k probably (sold my r9 290 for coming Pascal. Some games probably yes, but AAA title probably not, right?). And last drawback is scalability - how small icons in applications are... People often bitch about that...
I just think 4k isn't ready yet: application support and GPU's (except titans in SLI, but that's just not accessible to 99,5 % of people....)
So what do you guys think? Any ideas, help?

WISH: I WISH SO MUCH THAT THERE'D BE SCALABLE RES. MONITOR.
I'd buy 4K @60Hz monitor that downsacles to 1440P @144Hz right now! I WANT THAT!
