Evening chaps! With the imminent purchase of a GTX 1080 my new build will be finally complete after months of deliberating!
Come "Black Friday" I am toying with the idea of treating myself to a new monitor. I currently have a Samsung BX2450. It's been with me for years and it's excellent. My dilemma is which upgrade path to choose; there doesn't seem to be any 4k monitors that have a refresh rate above 60hz at the moment, which would lead me to think it wouldn't actually be worth upgrading simply for the extra resolution(?). A 1440p screen at 144Hz seems like the happy medium whilst also providing a buttery smooth experience.
Are 4k monitors with high refresh rates around the corner or would they simply be too expensive at the moment? What's the general consensus on this matter? I can't be the only one who's had this predicament recently. I wonder if I'd regret not going 4k?
I hope this makes sense as I have a tendency to simply think out loud when I post here and let the more intelligent and knowledgeable members correct me.
Thank you!
