Hey Insiders,
Whether we’re rocking a setup ready to launch a rocket or a humble rig, we all have something in common—we need a screen to play on. With new features like the mesmerizing HDR or blazing fast refresh rate popping up every month, choosing the perfect monitor can be tough. There are now more types of panels than games available, and with the arrival of 4K and Ultra-Wide gaming, resolution is also an important factor.
So, what kind of monitor are you guys playing on? A classic 1080p 60Hz monitor? A lightning-fast 144Hz screen? Maybe a brand new 4K monitor to savor every tiny in-game detail? Or perhaps…you play on a TV. You savage.

I have an Asus 1080p 60Hz TN panel and an IBM monitor with a 1280x1024 (5:4 aspect ratio) and 75Hz refresh.
Standard Acer 2k ips monitor, good for now but looking for an upgrade to a g-sync monitor.
I just recently went from an Acer XG270HU (TN, 1 ms, 144hz, 27 inch, 1440p) to an ips equiv .... the XF270HU
I was a skeptic on how good "ips is over tn" but now I am a believer. well worth the extra $100 over the TN version

Predator5Great monitor you have there! I just got the same monitor for nearly the half on an amazon deal :D I´m using it with my Razer Blade 14 which has also a GTX1060. I´m only playing CS:GO and BF1 right now so higher refresh rates are a welcome feature. The only downside is that I have to use a typ c to display port adaptor/cable to use these features. The HDMI port is useless now and the only typ c port will be used just for the monitor which is a bummer :/
Currently using an Acer Predator XB252Q. It's a 25'' 1080p TN monitor, quite expensive, but that 240hz :eek_: I'm running a GTX 1060, so I don't reach 120+ FPS in most games. I wanted to get a GTX 1070, but since the new Nvidia Volta series GPUs are coming out in a few months, I didn't want to waste money on an expensive GPU. (My PC was built recently, like 2 months ago.)The only complaint I have is that its color bit depth is only 8 bit (6 bit + FRC), so I do get some color banding, and the build quality is alright, but it does creak here and there.
I'm not sure if it was worth paying $650 for this, since for $750 I could have gotten an XB281HK, a 4K monitor from Acer, only 60hz, but I saw it in real life recently and mother of god the pixels are so dense. I looked at it from 3 inches away and I could barely see individual pixels.
I play on a 60hz tv.:frown_: No monies for a monitor.
I have the LG 29UM68, really enjoy using this monitor. First time with a widescreen, most of my games support it and when they don't I can play at 1080p with black bars which isn't ideal but doesn't make a difference to me.
I have a iiyama 1440p 144hz monitor its decent
I'm playing on a 1080p 60Hz 27" acer monitor.
My plan is to use my 1070 for years by sticking to 1080p/60Hz. My tv is 4k and honestly the difference doesn't bother me at all .
Is a Zowie by Benq XL2411 good choise ? (144Hz "1ms" FHD 24)
RazerGwynbleiddI JUST USE A REGULAR 1080P 60HZ MONITOR

Hi!
Im using Philips 40 inch 4k monitor, 60hz.
Model is BDM4037UW/00
Playing in 4k now and being amazed every time i open a game :D
I'm using an ASUS VG278Q for my primary monitor, and I have a Samsung S24D300 as a secondary. Two screens change your life in the world of productivity.
I'm playing on a really crappy Samsung SyncMaster 226BW, the only good thing about it is a 2ms response rate or 1ms I forgot. It's 60hz and 20". FHD resolution. But I plan to soon upgrade to an FHD 144hz monitor.
Lenovo Y27 RE :-)
I have to say tough that even tough it is a fine monitor, the curved design looks cooler than it actually is - next time i would buy a monitor, i will buy a flat one again.
Still saving some money for a better graphics card before buying a good monitor. I only have a 1080p 24" 60hz one.
I am using an iiyama g-master gb2788hs. That's a 144hz panel
my monitor is bad, 60 hz, 23''
Acer kg 271B has 240hz free syn -1ms and full HD LED

BlueBellSHELLpoly457Would love to upgrade mine to 1080p but I think waiting for some new revolutionary standard might be a good idea. CPU and GPU market are really competitive right now. I hope monitor market will be the same too.
