[QUOTE="Macemore, post: 404634, member: 6113"] [B]for good colors you want:[/B] IPS or PLS or a slight variant (Something like L-PLS or whatever) this is usually listed under "panel type," something to watch out for is "TN", ALS, or some knockoff like Trucolor. [B]For FPS Games:[/B] Typically a 5ms GTG latency is preferred, obviously anything close to that is good, 1ms GTG is fantastic, 10ms GTG is on the high side. (You usually wont really notice this unless you're pushing 60+FPS constant) [B]Resolution:[/B] Usually most people know what this is, but 1080P (NOT 1080i) is the standard, but I prefer to cram as much crap onto one screen as possible, and have chats (like the shoutbox, IRC, Discord, skype, whathaveyou) on another screen. If you like to multitask, I'd use Windows 10 with a 2k or 4k screen. Obviously these are pricyer, and harder to find in IPS / PLS for a good price. [B]Ancillaries:[/B] Things like screen split, reader mode (both featured by this monitor), text sharpening, all those fancy things are to your preference, and I would suggest googling the everliving fuck out of it if it matters to you. Typically I just plug the thing in and run. [B]Color gamut:[/B] This is only really used for hardcore nerds and people that professionally do photo / video stuff [B]Refresh rate:[/B] Usually 60Hz/75Hz is good enough for us normies, but occasionally I'll pop onto my 120Hz screen when I'm playing racing games.
