Hi guys, i have been using the BenQ ZOWIE XL2430 1080p 144hz monitor for 6 years and i'm looking to upgrade to 1440p considering i have a 4070ti and i7-13700kf.

I am a bit out of the loop when it comes to monitor specs and i have only ever used TN panels because i only played fps games when i first bought the monitor but i have played a lot of different games over the last 6 years and i care more about image quality as well as the game looking/running smooth

144hz, 165hz monitor recommendations should suffice, i dont think i need to jump to 240hz.

Would appreciate any recommendations 🙂

What’s the budget ?

vital minnow
#

urm, £500 as the maximum probably

#

maybe i can squeeze to £600 but i'd prefer not to

normal wadi
#

Good budget there - I would even go £300 for a decent monitor

#

Look on here - any monitors is a good shout that are 1440p 165hz

#

#

vital minnow
#

hmm that does look good for £219

vital minnow
#

If there is any other recommendations for monitors then i'd appreciate it. That £219 monitor that you linked does look good spec wise but im not a huge fan of the design and it looks a bit too good to be true if i'm being honest.

#

It's not too good to be true but if you check out the cpuk gearstore many good options there

vital minnow
#

yeah i have looked on there and i couldnt see any that i was interested in to be honest.

normal wadi
#

That's a nice pick

vital minnow
#

Yeah for sure but i was hoping to go for an IPS panel

normal wadi
#

For gaming right?

vital minnow
#

I dont mean to be picky but i just don't want to buy something without doing a bunch of research on the specs etc

vital minnow
normal wadi
#

I wouldn't say the advantage of an ips panel I'd that much but lemme see

vital minnow
#

I wouldn't know for sure without looking first hand with my eyes but i can't unfortunately lol

normal wadi
vital minnow
#

Iv'e heard IPS panels have better colours overall

#

I noticed this one as well and correct me if i'm wrong but It doesn't look that much different from the LG ultragear monitor that was linked for £219

#

It says 'Rapid IPS' for the MSI optix monitor but do you know if there is any difference at all compared to monitors that just say 'IPS'? Surely it's a marketing thing?

But the MSI optix monitors are also still amazing

normal wadi
#

Any monitor is a shout

#

Out of those

vital minnow
warm sage
#

the reviews are for the 144hz one but theyre identical in everyway apart from refresh rate

vital minnow
#

Ah

warm sage
#

I also have 2 of them, and theyre the best investment ive made for my setup apart from my PC of course

normal wadi
#

CPUK never dissapoints

warm sage
#

But LG Panels are used in most monitors now adays, that shows how good they are

warm sage
vital minnow
#

That review is on the 240hz OLED monitor

#

Cant really compare when the one you linked is 165hz IPS panel

normal wadi
#

Its the same 🙂

warm sage
#

^ 🙂

#

Only difference is the OLED has darker blacks

normal wadi
#

omg this is so passive aggressive now lets stop doing that

warm sage
#

and not by much

normal wadi
#

😂

#

Sorry!!!

warm sage
#

didnt mean it

normal wadi
#

@vital minnow I know that it is alot of money to spend on a monitor but you can't go wrong with the LG choices

vital minnow
#

Lol, I dont think it would be the same for £800 but 🤷‍♂️

vital minnow
normal wadi
#

ultragear

normal wadi
vital minnow
#

That's the £800 one

normal wadi
#

Ah.

normal wadi
#

Good monitor

vital minnow
#

Its hard to make a decision lol but I will compare them to my current monitor and see what looks better

normal wadi
#

Fair enough

vital minnow
#

Appreciate the recommendations though and taking the time to reply

#

Thanks

warm sage
#

Everything posted is amazing, i recommend the ones i got, the 2x LG ones from ebuyer, thats cause ive had hands on, the MSI optix are also amazing 🙂

#

Hope you figure out a decision

vital minnow
#

You wouldn't mind taking a pic of one of them would you?

cprgbglitch :tada: Congrats @vital minnow, you levelled up to 7! :tada: cprgbglitch

#

I just wanna see if the logo says 'Ultra gear' or LG. Its one or the other from the images I've seen so im not sure

warm sage
#

Not at my house atm, at a buddies house but it does say Ultra Gear 🙂 The ones that say LG On review's are the 144hz ones but again I based my research off of them & there identical bar the refresh rate

#

Ill be home on Friday so shoot me a message then & I will send a pic across

vital minnow
#

Fair enough

warm sage
vital minnow
#

There is not much difference i believe and the prices for the MSI Optix MAG274QRF-QD are weird for different resellers

#

The MSI Optix MAG274QRF-QD is £551 when you first click on the monitor but there is an offer for £376 on amazon which ships from ebuyer compared to the MSI G272QPF which goes for £278 on amazon

#

i could get the MSI Optix MAG274QRF-QD for as low as £350 for brand new on ebuyer, scan and overclockers but i prefer the return policies on amazon
