Best 27" Monitor Under $400 w/ Good Response Time

[.Jay]

I am in the same position where I also have 3, 23's but want to upgrade because the best monitors (non-4k) have come wayyyyyy down in price (monitors that were $600+ last year are down to $200-300ish now). I am thinking about getting one 27" and keeping one 23" (and selling the other 2, 23's). What are some of the best 27" monitors that people are recommending? I am looking for a "per say" top of the line monitor that is less then $400 (adjustable height also would be a nice option). Also - Is there anything other then IPS that will give superior quality over TN but have better response time?

BenQ just brought out a 2.5k ips monitor with 5 sec delay vs 6 sec of above monitor.

 

Asus PB278Q is my go to recommendation monitor.

I would recommend the ASUS PB278Q also. It's an extremely popular monitor.

I know the BenQ VA panels are pretty good, might be worth comparing

The BenQ BL2710PT is a very nice monitor for what you pay for it. This one has an AH VA panel so there shouldn't be any issues with backlight bleed and stuff like that

This would be your best choice ( http://pcpartpicker.com/part/benq-monitor-xl2720z ), hands down. BenQ is just beast, specially their XL series. It also $25 bucks below your budget.
