Since a monitor is something that you won't be buying everyday, spend a little more and get a BenQ XL2411Z. It's a professional gaming grade monitor with 144Hz refresh rate and 1 ms response time. Costs around 24k online but you might get it cheaper locally.

I have this monitor, the colors are bleak even after calibration, lots of banding issues. go for this if you are only into professional gaming or you must have 144 FPS (if you have a setup which can actually run that on ultra). otherwise you have to compromise on quality for that 144FPS.
I would recommend sticking to a 60Hz IPS monitor or take a look at a 144Hz monitor before actually buying one.

also if you watch movie at 144Hz refresh rate the colors look horrible. I have to set the monitor to 60hz for better color/ less banding in movies.

 

[Desmond]

Is that a problem with all high refresh rate monitors or just yours?

My config can drive more than 60 frames. If not this, then which other monitor can do this?

Yes I've heard about the colors issue too. However OP asked for something above 60 Hz if possible. Plus he has a very decent rig, so pushing 144 FPS might not be an issue. Since I personally use my desktop only for gaming, I wouldn't mind the colors and stuff as 144 Hz would really be helpful in CSGO. Though it depends completely from person to person.

 

[Desmond]

If 144 Hz is too much, probably a 120 Hz would be better? Any suggestions on this?

If nothing good comes up, I can settle for a 60 Hz.

Can your setup crunch constant 144fps in the games you play? If yes the yes you can go for it, else it's not worth it for the colour.

Not meaning to hijack this thread, I have similar requirements so I'm posting my query right here.

23-24" display required. Will be using it for my desktop as well as PS3. Is this be a good option for 8K?

Yes, my gear can drive that much, depending on the game.

I use vsync though and I feel that 144 Hz might me excessive.

What options do I have for 120 Hz?

Why dont you go for the 3D monitor that is compatible with nvidia 3D vision.

 

[Faun]

Buy the one with best color reproduction and best viewing angles. I own a dell ultrasharp.

There is no real 3D monitor AFAIK, the only ones in the market are the ones that support polarized 3D that requires polarizing glasses to view.

nVidia 3D uses active shutter system, that hardware itself costs extra.

Any more technical specs for this? Not much given at that link you provided.

Also its a TV, do you have experience with using it as a monitor personally?

I am not aware of past years tech things.

I think IPS panel monitor will be best if colors and viewing angels are the criteria. Check which one is best at the moment.

Read more reviews. Below one is IPS and bezel is so thin. But it doesn't have anti glare screen. LG 24MP77 is with anti glare screen but I can't seem to find it on amazon.

3. Anti Glare screen
4. Additional usb ports

I can't find much technical specs on this one anywhere. Not even on the LG site, but I think the site is bugged. Also it seems like a TV since it has speakers (as per Amazon description). I am looking for something a bit more streamlined, like a true monitor. However, if you have personal experience with this product, let me know your thoughts.

A matte finish display is an absolutely must since I have a large window in my room and the glare would get intolerable.

Yes Technical Specs cannot be seen but here is a review given by a buyer in amazon.

"This monitor is an absolute head turner.No bezels and a glass stand,not just for looks but perfect for movies or gaming in all HD glory.You'll be amazed the first time you see a desktop without bezels!And color reproduction is also crisp and clear,really wide viewing angles.If you want a good HD monitor for home use,just go for it.No other better alternatives at this price range,trust me i've done all the research".

 

[Desmond]

Yeah, I saw the specs on my phone. I am tempted to order it, even though its only 60Hz. However, that reseller on Amazon is the only one I can find.
