Greetings :)

 

I am looking for a new monitor.

 

I am playing these games:

Diablo 3

Dota 2

WoW (20+ man raiding)

Witcher 3

EOS

Skyrim

Far cry 4

 

 

My setup looks like this:

GFX: ASUS GeForce GTX 970 TurboOC 4GB GDDR5

Processor: Intel Core i5-4690K

Memory: HyperX Fury DDR3 1600MHz 16GB Black

PSU: EVGA SuperNOVA 750 G2, 750W PSU

MB: MSI B85-G43 GAMING, Socket-1150

HD: Samsung 850 EVO 250GB SSD

 

 

I just bought BenQ 24″ 3D LED XL2411Z, previously owning a Samsung SyncMaster 2233RZ, I thought TN panels were ok. The colors on the BenQ are complete trash and I have spent ours making it barely watchable. I have returned this monitor now. I thus fear buying another TN panel monitor, and have investigated a lot of IPS monitors.

 

So…

I wish to have a monitor that:

– great colors

– does not bottle neck the system

– has no ghosting or tearing

– overall serves my setup (neither under/over-budgeted)

 

I wish to play the above-mentioned games at max settings with maximum possible fludity. I can spend around 300-500 USD on this monitor. I can accept a TN panel, if it has proven very good colors. I appreciate a resolution of 2560×1440 and at least 24″. I am very confused about refresh rate: most people say that these games require no more than 60 fps and thus 60 Hz, others say that 120-144 Hz is a vast improvement no matter what. Yet again, others say that going from 1980×1080 to 2560×1440 and prioritizing color depths is the major thing gained by the right monitor.

So what to believe?

 

What are you experiences on monitors, fps, hz and these games in particular.

 

My own best idea atm is:

Dell UltraSharp 25 Monitor – U2515H

 

It is supposed to have no ghosting.

 

Sorry for a long post, hope you can help me out :)

 

Thank you :)
