Is 144Hz worth it over a 60Hz monitor?

Yes for games. The higher refresh makes motion look smoother and reduces visible blur in fast scenes. Desktop use also feels more responsive.

Does the IPS panel matter for gaming?

It mainly helps color and viewing angles. IPS panels usually beat budget TN panels on color accuracy, but they have lower contrast than VA panels.

Can a mid-range graphics card run it?

Easily. 1080p at 144Hz is a light load, and most recent mid-range cards can push high frame rates in esports titles.

Typically the monitor, a stand, a power cable and an HDMI cable. Check the listing for the exact bundle before buying.

Is the 27-inch version better?

The 27-inch version gives a bigger picture but the same 1080p resolution, so pixels are more visible. The 24-inch version looks sharper.

Our take on the Dell IPS 144Hz Monitor 24-inch

This is a 24-inch 1080p gaming monitor with an IPS panel, a 144Hz refresh rate and a 1ms response time. The IPS panel gives wide viewing angles and better color than the TN panels common in budget 144Hz screens, while the fast refresh and low response suit competitive play. It is a solid pick for a first gaming monitor or a second screen for esports titles. Rivals at this level often trade the IPS panel for a VA panel with deeper blacks, so contrast is the main compromise here.

What people mention

Motion smoothnessPraisedOwners say the 144Hz refresh makes fast games feel fluid and tracks targets clearly.
Color and anglesPraisedThe IPS panel holds its colors when viewed from the side, which TN rivals do not.
ContrastCriticisedDark scenes look grayish and some units show backlight bleed at the edges.
StandCriticisedThe included stand offers little height or tilt range, so many buyers add a monitor arm.
SharpnessMixedSome owners find 1080p fine at 24 inches, while others notice softness in text and small details.
