Here are some factors to consider when choosing your 144Hz monitor:
Size
Monitor size is a crucial factor. Larger monitors, such as the 31.5″ Dell 144Hz gaming monitor, provide an immersive viewing experience but require more desk space. Conversely, smaller models like the 24″ CoolerMaster are more compact and suitable for limited spaces.
The 144Hz monitor in 27 inch range, exemplified by the LG 27GR93U and Asus ROG Strix strikes a balance between screen real estate and usability, making them popular choices.
Resolution
Resolution is one of the most critical aspects to consider when choosing a 144Hz monitor, as it directly impacts image quality and hardware requirements. Higher resolutions provide better visual clarity and detail but demand more from your graphics card.
Full HD, as found in the 24″ CoolerMaster is the most common resolution for 144Hz monitors, offering a good balance between performance and visual quality which makes it perfect for gamers looking for smooth performance on a budget.
Quad HD, or 1440p strikes a balance between high resolution and manageable performance requirements. The 27″ Asus ROG Strix is a great example of a 1440p 144Hz monitor.
4K Ultra HD delivers the highest level of detail and clarity, ideal for those seeking the best possible image quality. However, running games at 4K 144Hz requires a very powerful graphics card. The 27″ LG and the 31.5″ Dell 144Hz gaming monitor are excellent examples of 4K gaming 144Hz monitors.
Refresh rate and response time
While all 144Hz monitors just like 120Hz monitors offer high refresh rates, the response time can vary. A 144Hz monitor, 27″ LG, refreshes 144 times per second, ensuring smoother motion and a more immersive gaming experience compared to standard 60Hz monitors.
Lower response times reduce motion blur and ghosting in fast-moving images. Monitors with response times of 1 ms to 4 ms are ideal. For example, the 24 ” CoolerMaster features a 1ms response time, making it excellent for fast-paced gaming where quick reactions are essential.
Budget
Finally, consider your budget. While high-end monitors like the 31.5″ Dell monitor offer top-of-the-line features, there are also more affordable options that provide excellent performance. PC International offers a range of monitors, including the cheapest 144Hz monitors in South Africa, ensuring there is something for every budget.
