Question on gaming monitor
For the past 6 years I’ve used the same monitor and it’s the only gaming monitor I’ve used. Its an Asus 24 inch, 1080p, 5ms, and 60hz. recently I’ve decided to take the plunge and buy a new one. ...

When you say the current gen is capped at 60hz.....are you saying that with a PS4 I wouldn’t be able to upgrade to 144hz?
Essentially upgrading to a better monitor would be a waste then with my ps4?
thanks for the response
The 144 will have no bearing on a ps4.
It is only capable of 60.
If you are going to upgrade to next gen then yes it will. From what I have seen it will be set at 120 I believe.
If you are using a standard PS4 look for anything faster than 5 ms. Also HDR and 4K will help with graphics. The faster ms time generally is to distinguish gray to gray. The other graphics will make dark areas more vivid.
As far as lag hits no monitor or setup will fix it. It is client side lag, which has been discussed several times here. Basically you are not where you are on your screen on your opponents screen. It has gotten better. Perfect example you on your screen close a door and a magic kraber bullet kills you thru the closed door. Your enemy view would show the door still open hence you got shot through his open door. You die to a client side server issue, yours is faster his is slower. The system has to recognize which server is accurate.
I know way more information but we have all had to fight the rubber banding pathfinder.
If it was me I would but the monitor just to see this game in full clarity. It made a huge difference in my accuracy across the board. No streaking or blurring and no lag in snapping onto targets.
Thanks for all the information. Seriously it’s really appreciated. So basically even without the 144 Hz I i would still see some visual and performance improvements with an up to date monitor?
I don’t plan on upgrading my PS4 anytime soon. Still
running with a standard PS4 slim.
Good to know that the hit registration issue isn’t just an issue with my connection but something everyone is dealing with here. Suffering is easier when you know everyone is suffering to lol
Yes without a doubt. The brightness and clarity of a new monitor cannot be appreciated until seen. Worlds edge pops off the screen.
@fg1985bg1 ms response time could help, but it would be pointless to buy a 144 hz monitor when your console can't even run at 144 fps. If you don't have a ps4 pro, your current ps4 isn't running 60fps either so you might as well stick with your current monitor. Or you could go with a 1 ms 60 hz monitor if you really want an upgrade. It just isn't worth spending the extra on 144 hz when you can't make use of it.
I am using an asus vg279q with my Xb1s currently, the response time was definitely a step up for me (even with it being IPS) but it is only 1080p, but for me speed is a more important factor. I’m still on the fence of whether I will keep this monitor or switch to something else when I get the Scarlett next year. My wife wants something bigger so at least that is a plus
I think I’m going to take the plunge and upgrade the monitor. Even if the system is capped at 60hz, from what I’m hearing a newer Asus would still increase the visual performance and honestly I’m really having a hard time visually seeing some of the enemies at times.
Leaning towards sticking with Asus. Wondering if people can even notice a difference between 5ms and 1ms response times?
