Hey everyone! I’ve been diving deep into Minecraft command blocks and datapacks lately, and my current monitor just isn’t keeping up. The input lag is noticeable when testing fast redstone clocks, and the colors sometimes look off, making it hard to debug visual effects.

I’m looking for a gaming monitor that’ll help with precision work—something with:

1ms response time (to avoid delays in command execution feedback)

144Hz+ refresh rate (smoother visuals for rapid testing)

IPS panel (better color accuracy for particle effects and visual cues)

1080p or 1440p (don’t need 4K, but sharp text helps with reading command outputs)

My budget is around $250, but I’m flexible if there’s a must-have option. Does anyone here use a specific monitor for Minecraft command work? Would love recommendations before I buy!

Also, does G-Sync/FreeSync matter for Minecraft, or is it overkill? Thanks in advance!
