IPS or TN

[Angry_Peanuts]

So, im wanting to uprage my monitor. right now i have a 25" hp pavilion at 60hz and its an ips, also a GTX 980 SC. Im looking at getting the Benq xl24llz. I play alot of Battlefield, but also assassins creed, tomb raider, and so on. I really like the image quality of my monitor, but i want a 144hz panel. basically, i dont want to sacrifice pretty colors, and bland washed out colors, simply for refresh rate and response time. What should i do? can i tweak the settings on the BenQ to get it looking vibrant and nice? PS, $400 is the top of my budget.

144 Hz IPS is really out of your price range:

If you don't have the cash on hand you can just apply for a credit card and make payments for each month. $400 won't do for a gaming monitor, but it's doable with a credit card and gives you time to come up with the extra money.

sorry mate, im 15, lol. Credit card not gonna happen. $400 Canadian btw. If i tweak the setting on the BenQ XL2411Z can i get it looking almost as good as a decent ips monitor?

Doubtful.
With XL2430T maybe but IPS quality will not happen anyway:

so, what would you guys recommend? Stick with my 60hz ips for the time being, and wait for a possible 120.144hz ips to come out? or bite the bullet and get a gaming monitor like most other people?

Call MicroCenter find out what open box monitors they have. You have to call all the stores, great company with great pricing

what do you think about 120hz Munite?

and, if i can overclock my monitor to 65 or 70hz, is that worth the risk of killing the panel?

Nope.

Btw.: do you have any tearing / ghosting issues?
I'm kinda missing a point for the upgrade here, especially considering you're not playing any fast paced FPS (besides BF i guess).

[Angry_Peanuts]

Ya, moslty in singeplayer games. I get really noticable tearing in AC4, AC Unity, Tomb Raider 2013, but also in games like War Thunder unless I cap teh frames with Vsync.

[Angry_Peanuts]

thanks man, the only good ips panel i could find so far is that acer 1440p 144hz gsync.

If screen tearing is your only issue, getting a higher refresh-rate monitor isn't going to make that go away.

You'd either need to get a Gsync/FreeSync monitor (depending on your GPU) or enable Vsync and adjust the graphics settings so you get mostly 60 FPS.

Wait a month or two imo, Asus have yet to release their replacement for the RoG Swift which may see prices drop, also IPS @144 is brand new tech(at its most expensive), the Monitor Rumplecrutchskin linked at the top is the first of its kind., meaning it wont be long before the other companys start pumping out more affordable IPS monitors with higher refresh rates which is more likely to drop prices.

Theres also Black Friday and Cyber Monday sales incoming at the end of November, maybe able to pick something better up then for less.

[Angry_Peanuts]

ok, thanks guys. i just want a nice image for singleplayer games, as well as low response times for shooters. in terms of tearing and 144hz, i know it doesn't stop the tearing, it just makes in really hard to notice ya? cause in updates over twice as fast as a 60hz

[Moose]

144hz is what the monitor is capable of, not fixed.

I don't know how the 980 performs but if you are 1080p then 60 fps should be no problem, getting 140+fps is a different story. Especially if you have all games settings maxed out

Beware, if you go for a 1440 resolution monitor too, which alot of the 144hz monitors are, you will need even more grunt then to push out that many pixels or you may end up with more tearing.
