Not since the xp days as far as I can recall.

Is CS:GO professional in a good spot? Considering DreamHack Masters Stockholm since it is 40 min from here.

The last few GSGO tournaments I watched were pretty hype.

Now that TI is over I got weak and wanted to buy battlepass. Mainly for Gaben announcer. But I get errors when clicking purchase so I guess its off the market. Ok Gaben, since you wont sell it to me, I pretend I never got weak in the first place.

Which is more worthwhile to get, a 144hz monitor or a 4k one? My current monitor is from 2007 or 2008, I think

General use, gaming. I do coding sometimes, but I actually don't really watch that much stuff, I'm now realizing. So 4k may be less useful. There are some 2k or UQHD in my price range, but I'm not really sure 1440p is really that different or useful at this point for me from 1080p.

144hz (with or without gsync) is probably better. 4k60FPS is still hard to achieve unless you have like a 1080Ti

you'd need a hdmi 2.0 or DP 1.2 compatible monitor/gfx card to achieve 4k60fps anyways

1440p is a lot more real estate than 1080, but i'd take a 1080p 144hz over a 1440p 60hz monitor unless you're just using it to watch movies.

I think 1440p 144hz IPS is the dream but those are pricey (550+ for lesser known brand names)

From the looks of it, I can get a 1440p, 144hz, gysnc monitor for about 350$ : http://www.microcenter.com/product/468411/s2417dg-238-wqhd-165hz-hdmi-dp-g-sync-gaming-led-monitor
Or a 1080p 144hz for about 200-220

So, is there any point to g sync if I never play any competitive games besides dota?

it matters less the closer you run at max refresh i believe

you see this in the 2018 gaming laptops with 144hz screens with no gsync (but you get optimus) and reviewers didn't seem to have a problem with it using gtx 1060 max-q even though they weren't pushing 144 fps

A neat thing I stumbled across earlier is that if you have an integrated AMD gfx card, you can use Freesync with an nvidia card. Not useful to me, but potentially for other people it might be.

1440p so much better for any work than 1080p.

I've got a 1080p 120hz monitor and my machine didn't run AC:Origins on more than 70-90 fps on a 1080 (though I don't think I ever optimised settings).
Destiny 2 was glorious though. I hardly remember tearing in games I've played on it.

Personally I'd love a 4k display for work but not yet for gaming, and as I hopefully never again have to use my own equipment for work, until gpus are able to handle 4k on 60fps reliably I won't be buying one.
The new rtx models supposedly have usbc out which I do like.

2560x1440 goes a long way over 1080.
A co-worker used a 4k display for his programming stuff and it was good. Though I wouldn't bet on getting in that many hours of programming at home to make the purchase worth it.

I mean if you're gonna buy a 4k display for your house, programming's probably one of the last things on your mind right?

I can only think of one thing to do with a 4k display, and that is pissing off your ISP by streaming super hi def movies 24/7
