Worth it to upgrade from an Asus VH242H monitor?


Recommended Posts

As per title. Don't have space for another monitor.

 

500$ tops.

 

Mostly used for games/exhaustive reading.

 

Other specs: 

 

ASUS Rampage IV Extreme
Intel i7 4930
G.Skill 16GB DDR3
2x Gigabyte GTX 980 4GB
750W Rosewill PSU

You find your other monitor lacking in some way?

 

What size are you looking for, being your last one was 24"?

 

You want DVI or perhaps HDMI connections?

Thanks for your reply. 

 

Not really. Just wondering if the higher-end ones are worth it when it comes to discernible image quality; or is it analogous to the price disparity of HDMI cables? 

 

I have no size in mind, but most games, even recently published ones, only support up to 1980x1020 - so I wouldn't want to go too big.

 

HDMI connection is a must. Onboard audio I can live without.

Do higher end monitors make a difference? Yes. Is that difference enough to matter to you? Maybe so, maybe not. High end monitors are generally appreciated by the design crowd more than the gamer crowd...

However someone recommended that I take in consideration that monitors have long lifespans and get this instead: http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824236405&cm_re=Asus_ROG_Swift-_-24-236-405-_-Product

The PG278Q (and every G-Sync monitor) works only with DisplayPort and not HDMI. Personally, I considered that monitor but seeing as it's a TN panel, I didn't bother. However if you can afford it, don't mind using DisplayPort and don't mind the TN panel, go for it! 1440p 144Hz G-Sync.
