    Sell my U2410 and get a 120hz gaming only monitor?

    I had a U2410 for freelance purposes, but I now work for an agency so don't need a high spec monitor.

    It's the best 24" I have ever owned, it's stunning. However, I feel it might be underused and i'm thinking of getting a 120hz gaming only monitor.

    Will I notice a terrible drop in screen quality if I go to a 120hz monitor, they are all TN Panels aren't they?

    AFAIK they're TN, yeah. I would suggest it's not the greatest idea ever... you might not notice the difference, but if you're used to the picture quality and the TN looks rubbish in comparison it's going to be pretty hard to take.

    Besides, unless you're going 3D, what's the benefit of the 120Hz screen over your current one?

    The refresh rate is a notable improvement from 60hz. Apparently it's like night and day.

    I get that, but if you're going from IPS/PVA to TN then it's a case of one step forward, two steps back.

    Personally as above I really wouldn't change you current panel for a 120hz one, the primary use for them is 3D tbh.

    You currently have a monitor most people will be envious of why downgrade lol.

    Re: Sell my U2410 and get a 120hz gaming only monitor?

    I bought the monitor when freelance business was good and splashed out, it's an epic monitor. I had to hold back on getting the 30 panel.

    I guess I won't notice much difference, if I could only see one.

    Isn't there a chance that PC World or someone are selling a 3D Gaming PC, which should technically be connected to a 3D monitor?
