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 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?

Since you are playing on inferior hardware capped at 60Hz you should probably stick to 1080p monitors in a size you sit at optimal focal distance from.

If you’re going to get the PS5 or Scarlett next year may as well get 144hz so you can do the 120 if that is supported.
