I need to see what the difference is with 120Hz/144Hz monitors because I swear playing some games where my frames drop below 60 looks weird. I'm playing on a 60Hz tv.

I have a 144hz monitor..one of the ASUS ones. It's really good but only invest in it if you can manage over 100 fps in most games. The benefit I see from it is how fluid the games look in motion. I don't know how to explain it but the quality of a game on low settings at 144hz looks better then a game on ultra settings on 60hz to me...I can't really explain it. When you see a game on 144hz you will understand.

When you get one of these monitors lower the settings and run a game at 144hz so you atleast get 80+ fps then run a game as ultra 60 hz..it's night and day

Nvidia just announced that new g-sync enabled monitors as well which will be compatible in some newer asus monitors coming out early 2014 so hold off on getting one if you have a nvidia card

Yeah I'm going to wait I already have a AMD video card so when the new gsync monitors come out I'll just return my old video card and upgrade to a NVIDIA GPU and g sync monitor.
