Please consider this BenQ monitor as it is far superior in almost every way.

Oddney · 6 Aug 2013 at 21:44

the benQ is 4ms isnt the Iiyama Prolite E2773HS-GB1 27" Widescreen LED 1MS Monitor better for being 1ms ?

rolypolyman · 6 Aug 2013 at 22:05

Hi makes little difference really, lower is better but I doubt 1ms or 4ms you would notice. The benq screen will be better in just about everything else that does matter, like colour 8 bit V 6 bit, contrast. 5000:1 V 1000:1, viewing angles etc.

ok thank you will see about ordering that one.

thank you

What graphics card are you using to drive your monitor? Any chance you could give a bit of a review? I'm going for an upgrade this month hopefully and want to know what its like being driven with a mid card whilst running at 144hz.

Oddney · 7 Aug 2013 at 12:39

card im using atm is a MSI ATI Radeon HD 6950 OC Twin FrozR III Power Edition 2048MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card

im think i will be upgrading soon to a nivida as the monitor is a 3d one and will would like to get use from it.

when the monitor comes and i have it working i will post here how it performs.

Suarez, a mate of mine is of the impression if I get this monitor that my graphics card will be unable to fill the 144hz with sufficient frames and give me black frames where the refresh of the monitor is too high. Got any experience in this area?

*Edit for clarity*

I'm running an XFX HD7870 Core edition.

I second that. Just as fast as old CRTs.
