120 hz or 144 hz? 24" or 27"
i'm wondering if to get a 120 hz or 144 hz monitor for 3d gaming... is the benefit of 120-144 hz only noticeable if you're exceeding or sustaining frame rates over 60 fps per left or right eye images? or in the case of non-stereoscopic 3d, is the benefit only noticeable if you're exceeding or sustaining 60 - 144 fps (as opposed to a 60 hz monitor) in your opinion, is 27" over 24" worth the cost?

There is no benefit in Stereoscopic 3D because you're locked in at 120 There is incremental benefit in 2D games if your video card can push the game past 120fps There is incremental benefit in desktop applications from reduced eyestrain of less "strobe" on your eyes I've had my 144Hz Asus for a month now and when I look at 60Hz monitors I feel like I'm going blind

I think the question you should be asking is lightboost or no lightboost. I have had 5 3d monitors & the King is the Asus VG27H because of the lightboost feature that really helps minimize ghosting & provides a lot brighter picture. Ghosting will ruin any 3d experience regardless of what your other monitor specs are.

Either one can work well, but if you're in the market for a monitor, it would really be a good idea to consider waiting for one with our G-Sync technology, as it makes a huge difference.

[/quote] are you saying that your other 3d monitors do not have lightboost? i'm looking to get a 3d monitor and trying to decide between the asus VG248QE, VG27H, BenQ XL2720T or XL2420T.. but the 24" ers seem like more likely candidates is lightboost really only noticeable over 100 fps? at what fps do you start to notice it?

V sync or G sync, either way you're still getting the same amount of content from the GPU over time so, i'm a little stumped

Lightboost has nothing to do with fps. It literally *boosts the light* and looks way better Of the monitors you listed, the one I have is the VG248QE and I would pick that The 27-inch RoG coming soon looks amazing because of built-in g-sync and high rez, (even though it's 120hz) but still haven't heard official word on 3D Vision support

they say that there is a "dramatic" difference in visual perception over 100 fps, compared to even 60 fps, it would be interesting if 3d monitors were capable of sustaining say 120 fps for each eye image individually.. although this idea sounds really expensive

Gareth, we've seen reports from a user here that enabling 3d disables gsync (and vice versa). Care to comment?
