Total noob here. I just ordered this https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01C05C1OK/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 monitor. You are saying I need to order a DVI cable to get the 144 out of it?
with a 1060 I would stick with 1080p. Unless you plan on upgrading your video card more frequently.

You'd clearly benefit from a new monitor. For the GTX 1070 I'd recommend a 1440p 60Hz IPS monitor or a 1080p 144Hz IPS GSync monitor. I have a GTX 1080 and it runs newer AAA games at around 100fps at 1440p max settings, so the GTX 1070 will run them close to 60 fps at 1440p.
[This is what I have] (https://www.amazon.com/Acer-Predator-XB241H-bmipr-1920x1080/dp/B01C05C1OK)
Welp, reasonably priced and G-Sync aren't really ever mentioned in the same sentence. Best I can see right now is floating around $340-$350. Check out these:
AOC monitor
Acer Predator
edit: Open Box Asus ROG (actually a really good deal)
Otherwise, check /r/buildapcsales
His monitor is the Acer Predator XB241H which is G-SYNC compatible so long as he enabled that. I wouldn't be surprised if that is disabled for him as well, unless it's on by default.
Acer predator XB241H fits the bill. Phenomenal monitor, 1080p 24" w/ Gsync and can OC up to 180hz
Just bought one myself after weeks of research. Save yourself the trouble and grab this one. Gsync is absolutely worth it if you don't think your setup will be able to handle the 144hz refresh rate of the monitor consistently. If you're okay lowering the settings to ensure you avoid stuttering/tearing, then by all means.
But, to me, <350 for all of those features is worth it.

Yes its a 1080p monitor: Acer Predator XB241H
This is the middle one:

I plan on maybe changing out the side ones for IPS panels in the future, those are just what I started with before the ultrawide.
First of all, is your laptop running a GTX 970 or a GTX 970M. It's probably a 970M.
In general, the best investment for a competitive shooter like Overwatch when it comes to monitors is going to be a 1080p 144hz monitor with G Sync (because you run NVIDIA). Ignore input lag ratings, as all monitors are going to have imperceptible input lag outside of framerate.
It being 144hz is the only real performance improvement, with the rest just being how good the game will look (resolution, panel size, panel type, contrast ratios, etc). Going higher than 1080p is inadvisable unless you have an awfully impressive GPU setup or want higher resolution at the cost of hitting rock bottom effects settings on your GTX 970M.
On low-medium settings, your GPU should be able to run 1080p 144hz Overwatch on a monitor like this.

This one is 1440p165hz with Gsync
And This one is 1080p144hz with Gsync both are great!
I got the Acer Predator XB241H and I love it. It is 1080p 144Hz GSync
So, you're on AMD and switching to Nvidia, do you plan on going G-sync ?
If so, this is the cheapest 1440p 144hz (overclockable) monitor I found when looking around for buying mine last week, my criterias were, in order , 144hz,24"+,1440p
Since I couldnt afford the 27" 1440p, I felt like staying at 1080p wouldnt be that bad on a 24" and settled with the Acer predator 24 inch 1080p , 144Hz boostable to 180Hz, I got it wednesday...
Pros and cons so far:
pros.
Amazon.CA links :
Acer predator 24 inch 1080p , 144Hz

If you do not care about G-sync, that would have been my choice, it comes with adaptyve-sync technology (that's another name for amd's freesync, I think) :
Benq XL2730Z
it's not a gsync monitor sadly, i mean it's definitely an improvement over what you currently have. I'd just suggest waiting a bit longer and spending another ~100 for something like this which would be a huge upgrade.
https://www.amazon.com/Acer-Predator-XB241H-bmipr-1920x1080/dp/B01C05C1OK/ref=sr_1_1?s=pc&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1479839123&amp;sr=1-1&amp;keywords=gsync
Ok so that is a Nvidia card which if you so choose would need a Gsync monitor to utilize a syncing technology.
The monitor you choose is a Freesync Monitor and although it would function as a Monitor it would not be able to use the Freesync Technology.
Gsync monitors are much more expensive (especially in Canda)

Here is a Video that shows the difference:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oVheiHBWYrE
Beyond that.. The AOC G2460PF you have picked out IS the same one I currently own. I was not overwhelmed by it when I fist got it.. I had to futz with setting Brightness/Contrast and all the things to get it to what I felt was good.. Everything looked washed out to me in the beginning..
I have had this now for over 6 months and I have come to love it.. It was not love at 1st sight, but it grew on me over time.. Make sure if you get this monitor that you load the software / drivers that come with it..
I used the Display Port cable that came with it.. It is currently plugged into a AMD R7 370 which does not support Freesync.. I was waiting to see how Vega turned out and meh.. I might upgrade to a RX 580 or something come 1st of the year.. OR I might just say fuck it and get a GTX 1070 and Damn the FreeSync.

Little smaller but I think would still be nice to play on

Tread carefully my friend once you go 144hz there's no going back.

These two options might be in your price range the Acer Predator XB241H: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01C05C1OK/ref=twister_B06XTM8KR7
or the ASUS ROG SWIFT PG248Q: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01M4II4M4/ref=twister_B01HTLZX1I

I know AOC has a relatively cheap monitor model that comes in FreeSync and G-Sync variants. I own the FreeSync version, it was like 200 bucks USD at the time (don't know what that is in dollarydoos). Great response time, color depth is somewhat poor, but great starter adaptive sync monitor. G-Sync version is $200 more. Acer's G-Sync offering is currently cheaper than AOC's and probably your best bet.
Either way, G-Sync is never going to have a "budget" monitor.
This or the Acer Predator XB241H? I dont mind the size or the resolution differences Im just wondering which one looks better, Thanks.
TN Panel, for those wondering. Great reviews around the net.
Same price on Amazon currently too: https://www.amazon.ca/Acer-Predator-XB241H-bmipr-1920x1080/dp/B01C05C1OK/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_product_top?ie=UTF8

Right around 400 you can get the Acer xg270hu which is 27" 1440p @ 144hz unfortunately it does not have Vesa mounts. Very good monitor for the price though. Do you want 1080p? 144hz?
@ 1080p get a predator http://amzn.com/B01C05C1OK

Here's the one I just got (hasn't arrived yet so can't give you my review)
What about the https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B01C05C1OK/ref=psdcmw_1292115011_t1_B01IOO4SGK
I've been looking at similar options. If you're interested in mainly fps from what I've read g-sync is a huge bonus, I'd look into that option. I've had my eye on this monitor which seems by far the best value for the price for a g sync 144hz. Price tracker has shown its price has been lower than it currently is so getting it for $380 or so seems possible if you're willing to be patient. Again haven't had experience with it myself but here it is https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B01C05C1OK/ref=mp_s_a_1_6?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1468632789&amp;sr=8-6&amp;pi=AC_SX236_SY340_QL65&amp;keywords=acer+predator&amp;dpPl=1&amp;dpID=41p-fCBPyxL&amp;ref=plSrch
I'm looking to get a 1080p 144 hz monitor. And I found this one on Amazon that meets my requirements and it has Gsync.
Is this worth getting?

Any recommendations for good 1080p 144hz monitors with G-sync? I've been window shopping a bit and am considering this one here but I have time before I'm planning on purchasing it to explore all my options.
Given you're going to be at 1080p with a reasonably powerful card for the job, just going 144hz without any G-SYNC will save you some coin. You'll likely be able to push 100+ FPS easily with most games and the screen tearing will be next to unnoticeable, especially if you've never done anything above 60hz before.
The only way you'll know you don't have G-SYNC is if you've used it before and gotten used to the luxury. Don't get me wrong though, G-SYNC is very nice and spoils you.

Pretty sure it's the Acer Predator XB241H bmipr.

Well if you have NVIDIA GPU, you could buy this monitor: Acer Predator XB241H https://www.amazon.com/Acer-Predator-XB241H-bmipr-1920x1080/dp/B01C05C1OK/ref=mp_s_a_1_3?crid=149K54EABP6VX&amp;keywords=acer%2Bpredator%2Bxb241h&amp;qid=1555233991&amp;s=gateway&amp;sprefix=acer%2Bpredator%2Bxb&amp;sr=8-3&amp;th=1&amp;psc=1

I don’t think you’ll find a 144 Hz monitor as cheap as $200.
I’d recommend this looks pretty good, although it costs $350.
I only play a few games (League, DoTA, and Skyrim most of the time) and want to run them all at the highest settings at 1080p. I already have this monitor on the way:
https://www.amazon.com/Acer-Predator-XB241H-bmipr-1920x1080/dp/B01C05C1OK/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1482734386&amp;sr=8-3&amp;keywords=acer+144+hz
I really like the processor and GFX card, a friend of mine who has built multiple PC's said I wouldn't have to worry about cooling problems or upgrades for a while. Any suggestions on a motherboard or CPU (in particular) that's better bang for my buck or build?
There's only a $25 disparity between this 1080p G-Sync monitor and this 1440p G-Sync monitor. They're both similar panels as well, although I bet t he Dell looks better in person.
Things get way more out of whack when you start looking at high refresh rate IPS monitors though, as there are very few different IPS panels on the market that can run that fast.
I have 3 of these, they're pretty good. https://www.amazon.com/Acer-Predator-XB241H-bmipr-1920x1080/dp/B01C05C1OK
I had the first one as well, but in all honesty I am much happier with my g-sync monitor. Get this if you want 1080p https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01C05C1OK/ref=dp_cerb_3. Seeing that you have a 1070 it might be better to go for a 1440p monitor to take full advantage?

Do you think it would go together with the one I have (https://www.amazon.com/24-inch-FreeSync-Monitor-VG245H-Response/dp/B01JGYM5H6) as a secondary monitor? I do really want to experience the 144hz myself, but I don't want to give up the IPS part of my main monitor
-- EDIT
sigh. I misread. This is a TN panel, I just thought I found the perfect monitor. The search continues
If its a 1080p, 24 inch will be fine and will work for you if you’re using an nvidia card (gsync monitors get stupid expensive at high screen sizes).

I have the 27" Predator and I love it. Without trying you're gonna spend forever thinking which one is worth it.
If you have the option, go to a Microcenter/Best Buy/insert local computer store and check them out.
Most places let you return the products within 14 days for full refund so if you really don't like your pick you got that option.
Oh that's a pretty big budget for a monitor.
I would suggest a 1080p 144hz Gsync monitor with 1ms response time. My suggestion would be the Acer Predator.
https://www.amazon.com/Acer-Predator-XB241H-bmipr-1920x1080/dp/B01C05C1OK
If you do want g sync, look into the xb241h. I had the xb240h and I really liked it during the time I had it.
1080p 144hz g sync. It says overclockable to 180hz, but I wouldn't know anything about that.
Looking to purchase a monitor today but I'm not sure which to go with so I'm looking for advice. Here is my parts list if needed (GTX 1070 GPU).
Out of those 4 monitors, I can get a really big upgrade on my current monitor for just $149.99 with the Acer. The question then becomes, how big of an impact will G-Sync make if I go with the Predator instead? And is the Quad HD of the Dell even necessary? I doubt I'll be running anything at 4K with my setup anytime soon so that would be overkill, right? But if the G-Sync is recommended then I feel like it makes more sense to spend $50 more and go with the Dell to future proof my purchase. Thoughts?

You like that over the BenQ Zowie 2430 (t)?
I've been looking into monitors, and was considering getting this one.
Is that particular monitor a good choice? It seems to be the best bang-for-your-buck monitor as far as 144hz with GSync. I was hoping to find a 1440p, 144hz monitor with GSync, but couldn't find any that were within a reasonable price point.
G-sync is absolutely worth it if you ask me. It aids the gaming experience that much. I would recommend a 1080p 144+ Hz g-sync monitor like the Acer Predator XB241H before 1440p 60 Hz. This is the one that I'm currently saving up for actually. I prefer high refresh rate to added pixels. If you're sitting close to your screen, you'll be hard-pressed to find much of a difference between 1080p and 1440p, especially if you don't buy a huge screen. I also prefer 24" screens because I don't want to have to look so wide for gaming, but everyone is different. If you have the opportunity, you should go to a location where you can see the difference between each yourself.
It is probably a decent TN panel, but it does not have G-Sync. It looks like a G-Sync 1080p 144 Hz monitor will cost around the $400-$500 range.

If you don't like the red I would recommend buying a cheap monitor stand for around $30. An added bonus is extra desk space and they more adjustable!
What is reasonably priced for you? G-Sync and/or IPS unfortunately adds a good chunk of change on top of any monitor you'd consider. The Benq XL2420G is an older model that matches your requirements and is at the lower end of the "pricey" region. I have one, and it's damn good.
edit: Apparently the Acer Predator XB241H is also pretty good, but I have no experience with it. Bit cheaper than the Benq though.
Looking for any input between Acer XB241H vs BenQ XL2540 XL, is the 240hz worth extra price? I am running a GTX1070

My apologies with that typo... And yes, it is one of the best choices for a budget, but the OP may have to research more because everyone has their own preferences. Any monitor under $200 could do better or worse for anyone. I don't know what else /u/Opticunicorn may want out of such a monitor, but there are nice choices from ASUS and Acer.

Thanks for your advice!
Alright I'm sold, what monitor do you think is good for 1440p that is about 300 or less that has gsync? So far I've found this.
Also what FPS can I get with 1440p?
Thank you for helping this noob
This was on sale recently for $300. It's basically not what you asked for except the price range but its a really damn good deal for a quality 144hz 27 inch 1440p monitor. So do check it out! For what you'are actually looking for, this is one of the better budget 144hz monitors out there. Since your range seems large, I'd recommend you not do a budget monitor and get this. This would probably be the most expensive monitor you could get that fits your choice. But overall I gave you a suggestion choice, low end, mid end,and high end. As long as you're not getting a VA panel, you'll never experience ghosting.
Gotcha. Highly recommended with gsync.

So I finally made a choice, and stop my decision with the Acer Predator XB241H. I made my decision 1 week ago, but I've waited for a deal, and he was at 20% today, so I buy it. Cannot wait to receive and try it !
Including. Monitor 1 and Monitor 2
I'm building a PC with a 2600X and 1070 Ti. Currently stuck on choosing a monitor. I'd like to prioritize my FPS over resolution, but having a higher resolution would be nice.
My question is: how much of a FPS drop, assuming same in-game settings, would having a 1440p 144hz monitor over a 1080p 144hz monitor? Would GSync make the drop unnoticeable?
Two monitiors i'm looking at around the same price, one 1080p 144hz other 1440p 144hz:

There's a ton of them, here's a random one - HP Omen
Here's the one I have -> Acer Predator XB241H
Can't personally vouch against other monitors through my own observations, but having thoroughly read review after review of the available 1080p 144hz gsync monitors-- the Acer Predator XB241H was the winner for me. Love this monitor, I've had it oc'ed to 180hz since the start (monitor OSD is disgustingly weird to navigate, but once you get the hang of it, it's all gucci).
&#x200B;
Looks like the Acer Predator XB241H is on a little sale too!
The previous monitors i listed do not have gsync but these do. Theyre a little pricier but they are outstanding monitors.

Monitor-wise, if you also want g-sync, it seems like many people suggest this monitor, which I'm planning to pick up pretty soon.
Hey guys I seen this post, and was really wondering what you guys thought of this monitor at it’s price tag. If you have suggestions please feel free
Acer Predator 24” 1080p 144hz G-Sync
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01DHTWZRQ/
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01C05C1OK/
First one if you want cheap. 2nd one if you want gsync as well. I'd probably step up to 1440p with a 1080ti though. That card is overkill for 1080p
Oh I didn't see the link at the end.
That'll work. It does mean you don't benefit from the freesync, that's amd only. To get that tech with an nvidia gpu, you need a gsync monitor. Not a dealbreaker, it's still good.
I would say a 1080ti is overkill for 1080p, even at 144Hz.
You may want to consider getting something like this with a cheaper gpu like a 1080.
That's kinda what I'm thinking - although I think I'm going to stay at 24", as I've heard some complaints with the 27".
If I'm going with the G-Sync display, I'm thinking I'm going to do the Acer Predator XB241H instead of the VG248QE. Trying to determine if the G-Sync is worth the extra $$$ https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01C05C1OK/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_2PCgzbJQBFXCG

I think its just quick listing. Maybe someone else can look further into it.
EDIT: When I look up the SKU. It brings up Gsync and 180hz OC
Asus XB240H is a good one 1ms 144hz. Or the Alienware 240hz Monitor is also a good one.

Since you said cheapest: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01C05C1OK (TN, 24", 1080p) & https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01LJUNMYK (IPS, 24", 1440p)
I have this one. I think it's IPS
Well, I'm not in Europe so price is difficult to estimate, but a 1080p, 144hz monitor should absolutely NOT be that expensive. I'm seeing $250-$300 monitors all over.
IPS is ideal when you can get it, but if you find a TN panel that's cheaper and has the specs I mentioned, that's what I recommend. Here's a few examples I found, I'm not sure if they ship to the EU or what the equivalent prices would be if so:

This is my vote. If that’s over budget too much then those are all the perfect aspects if FPS is your deal. Just kinda find the right combo for you. G sync is imperative for some and not so much for others
So there’s the Acer predator that fits the bill and has G sync, for $340. Don’t want to go higher than that but it will be further down the line so I’ll keep that in my peripheral list. Thank you again for the input

Any thoughts on that? I’m pretty sure I’ve heard “Acer predator” mentioned very often so I assume it’s a popular pick.

EDIT: sorry, should have said why I’m recommending it. I have this monitor. It’s a TN panel, but you aren’t gonna find IPS monitors lower than 4ms. But with the right calibration, the colors look fantastic. Very simply setup both physically and calibration wise. Adjustable height and angle is clutch to get that perfect viewing angle. Since it’s a TN panel, it does suffer from poor viewing angles. Unless your straight on, you’ll see colors get washed out towards the edges if your off-Center. But that’s an issue with every TN panel. But colors are great, 1ms response time is great, G-Sync is awesome, and it’s just an all around beast of a 1080p 144hz monitor.
I would recommend the Acer Predator XB241H (amazon), although it doesn’t have 1440p, just 1080. The upside is that it does have GSync and its exactly 349,99 USD.

If you are 100% sure you are getting the 1080 then save up and get this one. Or get this. I have no idea why that one is so cheap though.
If benchmarks come out and you decide to stay with AMD for some reason then this one is a pretty easy choice.
This one is better.

Sounds sensible, thanks :)
I've looked for a 1080p 144Hz monitor with G-Sync and that's significantly more expensive at $349.99, unfortunately. The ones without G-Sync are more affordable.
Without G-Sync I end up with the BenQ Zowie XL2411 in varying prices starting at $169. I'm not entirely sure if G-Sync is a necessity, though. It seems most pro gamers use the Zowie monitors, too :)
Better monitorSee Below edit 2Your monitor is the best entry level 1440p monitor probably, but it will hold you back sometimes. 1070 is in a weird place between 1440p 60hz and 1440p 144hz.
Maybe drop down to the 650w G2 PSU to save 10-20 bucks. otherwise looks fun! Enjoy!

Acer Predator XB241H or AOC G2460PG??
I'm trying to find a 1920x1080p monitor with 144hz and g-sync. So far, I have been looking into these two:

https://www.amazon.com/Acer-Predator-XB241H-bmipr-1920x1080/dp/B01C05C1OK/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_product_top?ie=UTF8
The problem is that they both seem to have a lot of issues out of the box. Does anyone know of any quality 1080p 144hz g-sync monitors without the bleeding issue? Thanks.
It does, but G-Sync displays have a non-trivial price premium and there are fewer models to choose from.
You can get a 144Hz 1080p Freesync display for $210
Cheapest G-Sync display on Amazon is $399
Nvidia wants to ignore how badly they got crushed on this aspect of the gaming market. You can buy a 480 and that AOC display for less than 1070, and the experience will be smoother.
And it will stay like that. Because adaptive sync makes framerates smooth that would otherwise piss you off. If nothing else, the 144hz refresh evens out the per a bit, but freesync > 144hz.
https://www.amazon.com/Acer-Predator-XB241H-bmipr-1920x1080/dp/B01C05C1OK/ref=sr_1_1?s=pc&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1468949628&amp;sr=1-1&amp;keywords=XB241H
I think the Acer is better, but it's also Freesync. If you're getting a 1070, you'd be better off finding a G-Sync monitor so you're fully utilizing the GPU (and the monitor). Maybe something like this?
https://www.amazon.com/Acer-Predator-XB241H-bmipr-1920x1080/dp/B01C05C1OK/ref=sr_1_13?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1465508278&amp;sr=8-13&amp;keywords=1440p+gsync
Edit: Oops that's 1080p. It looks like GSync monitors cost a bit more. I'm not too familiar with them (i'm team Red!), but I'll keep an eye out for ya!
I'm thinking entry-level, budget G-Sync since G-Sync is already treating myself.
If you don't know any recommendations at that price range and have nothing against Acer, Acer it is.

Thanks. I think I'm going with this monitor for the reasons you mentioned. I'd much rather have the 144hz.
The Dell S2417DG is the same price, 1440p, and should have better image quality than the AOC according to reviews.
If you're set on 1080p, then the Acer XB241H looks to be around the same price, and again according to reviews has better image quality than the AOC you were looking at.
