Hi all

I'm looking for a new monitor and would like 32 inch 2560x1440 and 144hz.

I have around £400

Is it possible please?

My pc spec is in my stig

Thanks
Ian

Hmmm... think you will really be struggling to get that spec at that price.

I'd say either up the price range or downsize the monitor. For £500ish you will get a 1440p 27" 144hz.

A GTX 1070 will struggle to regularly hit 144fps at 1440p. Which games do you mostly play?

Agreed, maybe getting a monitor with G-Sync will help if you are set for 1440p.

thank you all,

the other option i have seen on this site is a 32" 2560x1440 and at 75hz

would there be a big difference between the two, 7fhz, vs 144hz?

To be honest yes, I'd rather have 27" 144hz over 32" 75hz.

I would honestly just wait and save up for a bigger budget, if your willing to drop £400 you may as well save to £500/600 and get the best you can, rather than £400 and settling.

Sure, if your not bothered about 144hz then go for it. But in my opinion 144hz is a must for me. Once you go 144hz theres no going back :-)

You don't need to hit 144fps to get a benefit from running a 144hz monitor. Tearing between uber and lower image will be smaller and therefore less noticeable due to the panel refreshing faster.
