Is it worth going over 144Hz?

I've never owned a high refresh rate monitor. All of mine are 60Hz. I want to get two new cheap 1080p monitors and thought I might as well get high-refresh ones that are also Gsync compatible.

I was thinking of two of these:

Cooler Master 24" GM238-FFS 1920x1080 IPS 144Hz FreeSync Widescreen HDR Gaming Monitor

Order Cooler Master 24" GM238-FFS 1920x1080 IPS 144Hz FreeSync Widescreen HDR Gaming Monitor now online and benefit from fast delivery.

Does that sound reasonable?

The high refresh rate helps when gaming especially in fast paced games like shoot em ups , it will be smoother.

Monitors look fine but check reviews

What's your usage?

Primarily gaming but also programming.

Might aswell get this one, same price, faster refresh, and atleast AOC have a history in monitors - unlike Coolermaster.

Thank you!

Have you considered a single larger monitor? Maybe 27” at 1440p would give you a better experience for games unless you specifically need the second screen for anything.

I have thought about it but I'm so used to having multiple monitors I'm not sure I'd cope with one big one.

Thank you all. I'll try and respond to everyone.

The games I normally play are old RTS games like Command and Conquer and Supreme Commander as well as modern games like the Total War: Warhammer series.

As for two 27" 4k monitors, I could do that and run games in 1080p but then I'd need a new desk I think. I'd need to get the tape measure out.
