    1440p should be the lowest companies sell nowadays


    Brilliant justification, I'll stop selling 1080p monitors right away just because you said so.

    I disagree. I own 1440p 144hz and 1080p 240hz, for competitive gaming I would choose 240hz every time. The fact that most streamers/pros play 1080p 240hz for competitive gaming is all you need to know that your blanket statement is incorrect.

    It depends on your budget, brother. Not everyone has money for more expensive GPUs, as most people are still running on lower end cards from a few generations ago.

    Also, for competitive (pro) FPS players, they would prefer more FPS than high fidelity.
    prosettings.net/bes…or/

    So it depends on your needs. As I had mentioned in the post. This is more for competitive FPS players on a budget.

    Hope this helps . (edited)

    Dumb comment - for eSports 1080p is plenty and higher refresh rate is more competitive than 1440p benefits. I mean, why not 4K, why not 8K? For most 1080p is more than enough - easy to turn all the settings up to max without slowdown.

    Clutching at straws. Really, you should have just made your original comment and said 'in my opinion' and avoided all of this, because your whole argument has been '1440p is the minimum I will accept' where it's clear people are happy to pay a bit more for the badge and design of the Alienware, the 240Hz refresh rate and don't mind 1080p.

    As to the ASUS being worth £80 more, well no as it's a grade A2 with 'light cosmetic damage' (what!) = grade B and is an ASUS combined with Laptops Direct so it'll have world-class terrible customer service from both companies if anything goes wrong.

    That wasn’t the discussion. Changing the goal post doesn’t validate your previous claim of minimal resolution is 1440p.

    You're exactly what's wrong with PC gaming, snobs who can't grasp that other people might not have the same money as you do.

    Newsflash, 1080p is still by FAR and away the most used resolution according to the Steam hardware survey.

    If you can't notice 240hz then this monitor isnt for you. Simple as. But for people who play fps games like csgo it makes a difference.
  17. hokers's avatar
    OK different approach to this - considering all-round usage, you can get 27" IPS/1440/165 monitors in this price range. If you think you will spend most of your time specifically FPS gaming and would prefer to play 1080/240, this is a good price for a branded monitor. There is definitely a niche here where you can't get or can't afford the very scarce graphics cards to make the upgrade to 1440 worth it, but your current card has loads of headroom to get 200+ fps from your favourite game

    But if you think you have a card that will be fine at 1440 or if your gaming is not solely competitive FPS, or you can't see a difference between 165 and 240hz, I'd go for the larger monitor with higher resolution, if only for the longevity.

    I paid £285 for a 34" 3440x1440 144hz. Horses for courses.
  23. dioxyde0's avatar
    i upgraded from a 23.8" 144hz 1080p to 27" 1440p 165hz and the upgrade isn't anywhere as big as i thought. i think i actually prefer that old monitor because of smaller desk size.

    and also i saw a 300hz monitor in action and honestly, i have NO IDEA how people can tell the difference between say, 144hz and 240hz or 300hz. i believe its what you call "diminishing returns". 60hz to 144hz was a nice upgrade though

    so instead of buying this expensive 1080p monitor i would much rather get two 1080p 144hz or one 1440p one regardless if you're a "pro gamer" or not (edited)
  24. Retro_Mike's avatar
    Probably worth mentioning most people know what they are getting when they order a monitor, so the majority of returns are most likely due to the screen having at least one dead/stuck pixel. I know when I bought a 4k monitor from Amazon warehouse that was the case. Not everyone is bothered about the odd dead pixel though so it's still a good deal. Just worth considering though.

    Stupid comment again. Having a higher refresh rate monitor allows players to play games at higher FPS with VRR (Freesync/G-Sync) turned on. Pros don't always use these so that might not be a massive boon, but everyone benefits from higher FPS.

    Higher FPS means lower input lag, to keep it simple.

    So a guy with a 240Hz monitor gets information roughly twice as quickly as someone on a 144Hz monitor. It's not a massive upgrade for a casual gamer but for someone with aspirations of playing at higher levels it's a decent investment. (edited)

    No console is 8K ready, the best graphic cards out right now can barely run 4K above 60 FPS in the latest games. The fact is that you clearly do not know who this monitor is aimed at.

    But this is a cheap "VA" panel with "Low Brightness - 265 nit" (compared to 400), "Poor colour accuracy", "fewer features" both in "software (No Gsync and Free sync premium for screen tearing) and hardware" from Viewsonic

    And who knows what more for £7 cheaper?


    Also, the screen refresh rate got nothing to do with screen size and "competitive" FPS players can tell the difference in input lag, mate.

    What’s most amusing about this whole argument is that anyone that wasn’t an itch in their daddy’s pants when CRT screens were still commonplace will remember that 120hz+ was absolutely commonplace and no one would expect to be using 60hz except at ludicrously high resolutions for the time (like 2048x1536). Then we all got lumbered with LED screens with poor colour reproduction, viewing angles and all sorts for the next decade or so just because they were taking up less desk space. We’re finally back where CRT screens were 20 years ago.
