Beaser Posted July 30, 2017 Share Posted July 30, 2017 Go with 144hz. Has a smoother feel than 120. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The difference between the two is pretty subtle. There are far more important factors to consider when comparing two different monitors. @eggbot what two monitors specifically, what are your specs, and what games are you playing? eggbot 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happysedits Posted July 30, 2017 Share Posted July 30, 2017 imo better is to get the better since you are probably going to use it for a looong time so it better be good SpotlightR 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other factors will likely be far more important: IPS vs. TN Panel quality/color accuracy (some IPS/TN panels look better than other IPS/TN panels) Price Variable refresh rate (freesync/no freesync) You don't benefit from freesync since you have an Nvidia gpu, but if it came down to two monitors, one with and one without and all else being equal, I would take the freesync monitor just in case of a future AMD gpu/Nvidia support.

Gsync monitors that cost stupid amounts, especially when paired with a 1060 (and even stupider when the main games are overwatch and tf2, in which a 1060 will push well over 144hz thereby disabling gsync).

Mr Prince Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 Gsync is defiantly worth it unless you gonna run uncapped fps and like tearing, gsync is just way smoother. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gsync is disabled if your fps is above the capable range of the monitor -- which would be the case with a 1060 at 1080p in both overwatch and tf2.

Exactly but i cannot stand tearing, when i get the chance i will get a 240 hz 1440p monitor next with gsync, right now i have 165 hz 1440p monitor, below 165 fps with gsync its way smoother. 240hz because it will always be in the gsync range that way, not to mention higher refresh rate and fps means less input lag if your very competitive thats a must.
