I need two new monitors

not the porn stuff.. the monitor stands.. lol...
 
I'm with Krazy on this one. If you are set on 144hz go with the ASUS VG248QE. I have two of them and the only thing I would trade them for are IPS monitors.

That seems to be the way to go. Get one monitor for gaming and a secondary for work and stuff... I tend to like the Asus stuff so I'll probably go with that.

If you do end up with the ASUS monitors you will most likely need longer DVI cables as the ones that are in the box are about three feet in length.
 
Lol. Cables won't be a problem. I'll probably convert to hdmi

You will lose the 144hz if you switch from DVI.

I was under the impression that there was very little or no difference between DVI and HMDI signal degradation. Do you know for sure? It would be a very ignorant to get a 144hz monitor and then kill its potential by using the wrong cable. That would be like putting together a $5,000 dollar multiplayer gaming system and connect it to the internet via a dial-up modem... a 1900 baud rate modem... lol....

This is directly from their website.

To activate 144Hz function (in 2D mode), both DisplayPort (or Dual-link DVI) and a selected graphics card with the latest driver are required.

I believe they should both perform the same, but just in case I'll stick to the DVI and prevent myself any headaches... Still, can resist to wonder would that be....

I've tested display port and know for sure that doesn't go to 144. I will test with an HDMI cable in the next few hours and let you know what I get.
 
Well I have confirmed on my system that HDMI does not support 144hz, 120hz, or anything above 60hz.

I did some research on the web as I don't know much about it. HDMI 2.0/2.0a is the most current version of HDMI and it supports up to 1920x1080 120hz and the only card that I know of that has HDMI 2.0 is the Nvidia 9xx series.

hmmm.... well, it doesn't seem to be worth the risk. I'll just stick with the DVI cables... besides, that's what I have now anyway... just have to upgrade the monitors and I should be good to go...
 

This definitely helps in understanding monitor a bit more... I guess I should anticipate to be playing on servers that support 144hz (battlefield 5), but game like insurgency and Arma 3 will probably never need this level of hardware for a few years at least... what do guys thinkÉ
