If you don't tweak or volt that monitor it's on you.
Mine is dematted, volted with a custom profile and colors are pretty good for being an otherwise shit tn panel.
PC Monitors found as much even without mentioning what I did to mine. Calibration really helps on every monitor. Kudos to Mister Saturn for an icc profile. Can't offer mine own since I don't have a gloss coat like most others.

60 fps on a 144hz monitor will feel like 60fps or better because scanout is faster. Anything above 90 will feel way better, but 60 won't feel worse just because you have the potential to have higher framerates. You can also force the monitor to be 60hz if you want to.

OK that's great, I was reading some threads on Google and people were saying how 60fps on 144hz felt far worse and choppy than 60fps on 60hz, if that's not the case then 144Hz would be a better move.
Seriously...pics dude!
There's absolutely nothing to see, something inside blew, from the outside it just looks like a monitor.

I don't even have any Jacob's crackers.
I'm using https://www.productchart.co.uk/monitors/ and there's 7 options when you input 24", 1080p, 144Hz, 1ms, UK, under £300. I guess I'll need to read up on them all but my God this tablet is slow and small, I miss my PC already.

I know you have toilet paper, cooking oil, and matches.
but we probably want more than a burning monitor, we want chemical fumes and maybe small explosions. do you have a gas can?

Even if it's out of warranty and all that, if there was smoke and stuff there's a good chance you can arrange something with the manufacturer if you complain hard enough

It's hard to go back to 60fps after playing 144hz GSync. Though, I don't think it feels as bad as going from 60fps to 30fps.

60hz though :/
I have a 27" 1440p 165hz monitor with a 1060 which isn't that much more powerful than a 970 and I'm loving it so much.
speaking of, its on sale right now for $430 (after rebates) through Dell

I'm seriously considering this one, one of my online buddies has it and loves it, and it has great reviews. https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B01A0ZRR50/
if that aesthetic is your cup of tea, go for it. personally id go with Asus' offering https://www.amazon.co.uk/ASUS-VG248QE-Widescreen-Multimedia-80000000/dp/B00B19T7QC/ref=sr_1_1?s=computers&ie=UTF8&qid=1500847719&sr=1-1&keywords=vg248qe

Never had any viewsonic flat panels myself, but I had some of their CRT's back in the day, and they were great for the time.
No idea if that's carried over to their modern screens though, sorry.

Is there any point in getting that dell monitor if I only have a 970?
That money could go towards an SSD and a CPU upgrade instead...

I'm sorry this happened to you OP. What a sudden kick to the nuts...
I don't see what's so different between this monitor (https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B018MYTH9U/) and the one you posted, and this one is much cheaper. disregard
I'm pretty sure I've seen GSYNC monitors go on sale for pretty cheap, but otherwise I'd probably recommend 144 1080. Or at least it's the route I would take.

I thought you got injured or something before I entered the thread. Good to know that you're fine.
i mean, you could look at is as a future investment? you going to use that 970 forever? youll upgrade pc components much more frequently than your display. youll probably be limited to around 60fps at 1440p with todays games, but when you upgrade your gpu youll be able push fps much higher. id be hard pressed to recommend a 60hz monitor in this day and age.
the one the op linked is 144hz, thats the major difference and the explanation of the higher price.

This one is 75Hz, the one above is 144Hz. Both of them are TN based though - worth mentioning, I think.
For something non-TN how about this one: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B01LN1QSQY/
Oh DOH! Usually when I see GSYNC or Freesync I just assume 144Hz. My mistake.
Not 144? Screw that then...

Not choppy, but the difference between 100+fps and 60 is very noticeable on a high refresh rate monitor when it comes to smoothness. And you can also really feel the added mouse lag if you are used to 100+fps.

Anything can explode.
As a person who also owns a GTX 970 I can say that gaming on a 1440p 144Hz screen is achievable but you won't be able to max out the graphics like you could at 1080p 60Hz and even then you may have to rely on a variable refresh rate to keep the action smooth depending on how far you're willing to compromise on image quality/post processing.

This is exactly what I would do.Get a "very good" 1080p/60 monitor now with low latency while you save for an upgrade. You'll still be able to game and when you do get your nicer rig/monitor (consider ultrawide!) the monitor you get now will make a nice second screen.

I'm pretty much sold on the VS XG2401, go to order it and notice it's OOS directly from Amazon bumping up the price another £48. From everything I've read it really is the best option so I'll have to pay the extra I guess.
Edit: Or not, really don't think I can stretch to £300 honestly, looking at the
AOC G2460PF which is nearly £100 cheaper due to being in stock.
Edit: Bought Viewsonic from Amazon Warehouse for £239 including next day delivery. Like new, only thing wrong with it is the box is damaged. The last time I bought from their warehouse the item was brand new in all original packaging with a beat up box, saved me £50 on a sound bar and it was perfect so I'm hoping for the same again. If not Amazon's service is great so I'll just return it.

What good is a monitor that goes above if their graphics card can't push much above 60fps?

High refresh rate experience will be different for every person. 144Hz is barely noticeable to me above 60 personally. G-SYNC is invaluable, though.

I'm sorry, I LOLed at the title.
Make sure to try out blur reduction (ULMB, LightBoost, etc).
144hz is good but blur reduction makes it even better and gets it even closer to CRTs.
Having the motion clarity that lets you read this map(warning: fast scrolling map) while it's in motion is pretty amazing compared to how blurry and unreadable it is on a 60hz monitor.
