(Monitor Help) 1440p ips vs tN 1080p 144hz freesync?

banduff12

I can't afford the ones that have all of the above so need help choosing. I don't play too many games, mainly cs:go, LoL. But I watch a lot of movies, tv shows and streams. I have and Rx 480 8GB and a i5 4670k 3.4. Any help is appreciated as this is the dilemma of a lifetime :P Budget is 350-400 euro

That's a healthy card for CS:GO and LoL! - you should have a lot of playing room with that budget. I'm looking to get something myself like a 27" freesync or ultrawide.

Have a look through there and look up model numbers on amazon uk to get a few ideas.

Wow that was yet to be release only yesterday when I was looking. thank you sir.

There is also the 27" version which would be quite nice too, but unfortunately resides outside your budget.

Edit: Note that this is TN, but it isn't a massive difference between TN and IPS.

Does that have freesync or is adaptive sync something else?

Adaptive sync is/supports freesync.

Adaptive sync works but may not be up to standard of monitors labeled freesync though.

I was thinking to myself as I was browsing that ad that it was very cheap and then I seen resolution, only 1080P.

It would suit my needs. I also stumbled across this 180mhz same res 1080, would it be worth sacrificing res for that refresh rate?

Any link to that 180Hz monitor?

Hal1

Opps, yeah here it is. It is 144Mhz but can get to 180Mhz in OC'd mode.
