GazzaGarratt 10,867 Posted February 26, 2018 Author Share Posted February 26, 2018 So I just look for frame rates then? It doesn't have to be a specific 'gaming' monitor? Wife is happy to look at silver or grey ones rather than white as it was looking bleak to get a reasonably priced one in the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wife is happy to look at silver or grey ones rather than white as it was looking bleak to get a reasonably priced one in the future. Two things I would look for (other than minimum 1080p resolution of course) are as follows: Refresh rate. You need to go for at least 60Hz here. Anything higher than that is a bonus. Think my BenQ is 144Hz off the top of my head. Response time: Anything less than 5ms is ideal. Some modern TVs have a gaming mode which helps this, though at the expense of the graphics.

The3rdWalker 1,263 Posted February 26, 2018 Share Posted February 26, 2018 1080p, 144hz and 5ms and under should be your gold standard. Here is my current main monitor for gaming. https://www.amazon.com/VG248QE-1920x1080-144Hz-Gaming-Monitor/dp/B00B2HH7G0 GazzaGarratt and BO7H B4RRELS 1 1 i7 7700k, 16GB RAM, GEFORCE 1080, 240GB SSHD, 2TB SSD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GazzaGarratt 10,867 Posted February 26, 2018 Author Share Posted February 26, 2018 I've seen this one Samsung White TV Looks only 81 Hz though. Can't seem to find a 32 inch that isn't grey, silver or white. Why do I have to have the most OCD pickiest god damn wife. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never had a curved TV before.So if you only know 60hz gaming, from a console 81 to 144 means not a whole lot to you. 81 will be an upgrade, if you go from 144 to 60 hertz it’s going to give you a migraine. So I’d say no, but 144hz should be a goal at some point. That TV will be fine. Side not StreamLabs OBS bogged down Rainbow Six on me and I was getting 31 FPS. I couldn’t handle that anymore. It’s insane how your eyes get use to a higher frame rate.

phil bottle 9,567 Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 You'll pick up m & kb like a duck to water. Seriously put me off playing FPS with controllers, particularly the shite Ps4 controller. Feel far more confident shooting via mouse.Sent from my SM-G955F using Tapatalk GazzaGarratt 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
