How many Hz should a gaming monitor have?

144 Hz is a sensible baseline today, 165 to 240 Hz suits competitive players. A higher refresh rate helps only when your graphics card reaches it in your game. For 1440p at 144 Hz plan on an upper mid-range card.

What are G-Sync and FreeSync?

Both technologies synchronise the monitor's refresh with the graphics card and remove screen tearing. FreeSync is for AMD cards and also works with NVIDIA cards, G-Sync Compatible monitors are verified by NVIDIA. Support is listed in the monitor's specifications.

IPS has fast response and accurate colours, VA deeper blacks and higher contrast but slower transitions. OLED offers perfect blacks and the fastest response at a higher price. For most players an IPS at 144 Hz is the best value.
