144hz 1ms GtG vs 240hz 4ms GtG

[luffy]

Does having a 144hz 1ms GtG 23.8inch Gaming Monitor for $AU339 better or having a 240hz 4ms GtG 27inch for $AU469 better? In a few weeks I will be building my own Brand New Gaming PC, and I'll be playing competitively in CSGO, TF2, maybe Rainbow Six Seige and probably Fortnite. Let me know in the comments below what would be better for Competitive Gaming.

you will get a huge difference when you change from 60Hz to 144hz but from 144Hz to 240Hz your eyes will not get that much difference nor in your game style.
so,In the end if you can afford 240Hz then buy that but 144Hz 1ms Gaming monitor will be perfect for you.
My personal suggestion is buy 144Hz 1ms monitor and save money by not getting 240Hz instead get a good GPU with good CPU.

there is no "answer" to that question.

You have to look for a proper review of each monitor, you can't trust those numbers, it's a BS. Even fastest TN panels are not 1ms. If you're gonna focus only on competitive games then a tn 240hz.

Marketed response time isn't even close to being true.
Look on a review website to see what its average response time is, and make sure it's faster than update rate (example, 1000÷144=6.9ms) so for a 144hz panel, make sure your average response time is <7ms.

If you don't, then you will experience ghosting/smearing.

Try to avoid overdrive to reach desired response time, since they force the pixels to change colour faster, downside is that it isn't as colour accurate.
So you get outlines or odd colours when things move.
Not nice to look at.

Refresh rate is important, but has deminishing returns (the higher it is, the less difference it will have)
And you have to have as much fps as the refresh rate, otherwise it will be stuttery (unless you cap your FPS at certain values.)

If you're competitivey gaming, and your pc can provide the frames, get a 240hz monitor. (Probably not the one you listed, since it seems kinda slow, response time wise)

Either one will be fine, response times for modern monitors are very good regardless. Unless you buy the worst garbage quibbling about a couple of ms in single digits is 95% imagination.

Is one a TN Panel and the other is an IPS Panel?

In which case, for that slight increase of response time, which most won't even notice, you get richer and brighter colours with the IPS Panel. Plus a better image at a wider viewing angle (such as if you are watching a movie from a distance on the bed, etc). TN Panels are more duller colours, but also more private and faster response. IPS use to be slow, but these days have almost caught up on performance (normally the difference is 1ms vs 4ms - that's just 3 milliseconds).

[Guydodge]

seeing as your going for competitive play a 1920x1080 @240hz 1MS TN panel is probably your best option IMO.
if you would like a nice balance of graphics and performance (the sweet spot) a 27inch 2560x1440 144hz 1ms TN / iIPS panel is it
the claims of a IPS panel being 1ms are false its really between 5-7ms but the difference is minimal to none in feel and performance

As others have stated, advertised response times are total hogwash, because it only applies to when the screen goes from grey to grey, hence the acronym (GtG). TN, IPS, and VA panels can all be rated for 1ms GtG, but the actual response time to the monitor depends on the specific panel.

TN panels are ugly, but they have the best average response time of around 5ms. If color quality doesn't concern you, then there's nothing wrong with TN, and some higher quality TN panels are pretty much unmatched when it comes to response times.
VA panels are beautiful, but they have the worst average response time of around 9ms, which often results in more noticeable ghosting that can ruin the experience in fast paced titles where every second counts.
IPS is an excellent middle ground, as color quality is beautiful, and response times are somewhere in between TN and VA, with an average of around 6 to 7 ms. However, there is a notorious issue with contrast and "IPS glow" on IPS panels that may bother some people.

Ultimately, the best course of action when buying monitors is to go to a retail location like Micro Center (USA) or Canada Computers (Canada) and take a look at their monitor selection and get a feel for what kind of panel you want to look at every time you use your PC.

Personally, I find gamers should focus on either TN or IPS depending on their ideals; if you want amazing visuals and performance, then IPS is the way to go. AOC has a cheap 1080p 144Hz IPS panel that's extremely popular and sells out quickly. However, if you care not for the best visuals of the display and instead want the absolute best response times for minimal ghosting and want an outrageously high response time like 240Hz, then TN is probably better for you, especially if you want to play a lot more competitive games than slow paced single player games. VA should be completely off the table for gamers because of how awful the ghosting can be, even on higher end VA panels. (I have a 1080p 240Hz TN panel and 1080p 144Hz VA panel, the difference is night and day; both are higher quality monitors from ASUS' ROG STRIX range of displays, from the same price range, but the TN panel is considerably better than the VA panel for gaming. I didn't know any better when I was sold the monitor by a crafty retailer and didn't realise how bad VA was until I experienced other panel types until long after the return policy timed out. Do NOT make the same mistake.)

stay with 144hz 1ms but it would be nice if u got 32inc

Not a good advice, at that size most panels are VA which is not a good choice for high refresh and competitive gaming.

Also way worse pixel density.
24" is the maximum for 1080p, ideally.
27" is ideal for 1440p, and I wouldn't go above 32" for 4K unless it's a television.

get a 27 inch 1440p 144hz panel for the best of all worlds

Yes the 144hz monitor is and IPS and the other a TN Panel thank you for your help!

Thanks for the information and your help, I decided to buy the Viewsonic XG2405 as it was only $AU339 which was a 144hz 1080p 23.8" IPS Monitor
