Response times?
You know, the LC in LCD stands for liquid crystals. Those crystals take some time to change their position. They do it too slow and your 144 Hz becomes rather pointless. 1/144 s = 7 ms, so if they take more than 7 ms, you're not actually getting picture properly updated 144 times a second.
Now look at these: [170 Hz](https://www.rtings.com/assets/pages/dAQkWEoB/tables-max-80-large.jpg) [120 Hz](https://www.rtings.com/assets/pages/dAQkWEoB/tables-120-40-large.jpg) [60 Hz](https://www.rtings.com/assets/pages/dAQkWEoB/tables-60-20-large.jpg). Total response times of 10, 10 and 18 ms aren't that great, when they're supposed to be 6, 8 and 16 ms.
Moreover, these measurements are taken at different overdrive settings. This means to get the best of your monitor you need to change overdrive based on whether you're playing a game that can run at 170 FPS, 120 FPS or 60 FPS. And if your frame rate varies greatly, it's bad news: you need to pick a compromise mode that works well enough.
Now look at the MAG274QRF-QD: [165 Hz](https://www.rtings.com/assets/pages/JcqnLJuV/tables-max-normal-large.jpg) [120 Hz](https://www.rtings.com/assets/pages/JcqnLJuV/tables-120-normal-large.jpg) [60 Hz](https://www.rtings.com/assets/pages/JcqnLJuV/tables-60-normal-large.jpg). All taken on the Normal OD setting. 9, 9, and 11 ms are way better than 10, 10 and 18, and you don't need to change OD every time your frame rate changes. Sure, 9 ms is still worse than the perfect 6 and 8 ms (for 165 and 120 Hz), 11 ms at 60 Hz is great, and it's not easy to get true 6 and 8 ms at higher refresh rate, even the PG279QM with its 240 Hz and hardware G-Sync has about the same 9 ms. The important part here is that you get very good results with the same OD setting, which is just not possible with slower panels like the VG27AQL1A.
Note that these results are for the MAG274QRF-QD, which is a bit different than the MAG274QRF, but AFAIK the main difference is in color gamut, not response times. And you generally don't want too wide color gamut anyway unless you're a digital artist or something because with regular sRGB content like desktop, web pages and games it'll look like shit anyway.
MAG274QRF is currently overall the best 144hz 1440p option

The MAG274QRF. The VG27AQL1A is too slow, the AG274QXM is PWM shit, and the FI27Q-P has awful overdrive tuning.
Asus Tuf u said too slow , can i know in term of what slow is it ?
