But TN tho.

TN still looks very good. If it doesnt, just get a monitor that does have a good TN panel with those specs. - TBH its really what you want. I prefer performance over quality any day.

Performance is a part of quality, m8. 

Yes, thats why the TN pannels provide enough quality (imo), then enhances the experience with its raw hardware performance.

I use an IPS panel next to a TN one, and I can assure everyone that IMO, TN is not good enough quality. It's irksome with viewing angles and color accuracy is lacking.

Isn't it great how everyone has different standards and how we can express our opinions?

It's sort of true though, and unless it's a high quality TN panel, you aren't likely to get good colors.

Yeah, which is why I kinda stated that I am biased when it comes to monitors because I rather "suffer" with lower quality (still good) and enjoy raw performance.

With a monitor color accuracy IS performance. Looks aren't just aesthetic, they're everything. Literally.

 Sorry for my wording, i keep forgetting i am completely disregarding that color is performance.

I just rather lack in that than what I had stated.

Lack in eye candy, rather than 144hz and 1ms.

You can always just use ICC profiles to tune the color. I use an Asus VG248QE with an ICC profile and it does just fine. Yes, the viewing angles aren't as good as IPS panels, but I'm looking straight at it 99.99% of the time and it looks fine.

Hi, what profile are you using?

I just received this monitor today & I'm looking to improve upon the default settings in this manner.

Here you go. They are under the ICC Profile section  around the middle of the page.

These were the monitors in the poll a few days ago:

• ASUS PB278Q 27"1440p IPS 60hz $389
• BenQ GW2765HT 27" 1440p IPS 60hz $329
• Acer XG270HU 27" 1440p TN 144hz 1ms $379
• Pixio PX277 27" 1440p IPS 144hz $389
• AOC U2879VF 28" 4K TN 60hz $299

 

I have eliminated two: The ASUS PB278Q and the AOC U2879VF. Reasons:

 

ASUS PB278Q: Too pricey for what it provides. Good reviews, but quality control is sometimes a problem.

 

AOC U2879VF: Probably should get an 1440p because I would rather take 1440p and higher frames with good color over 4K with lower frames and a little duller color.

 

I will reconsider either of these monitors if 3 or more people request. To help you guys in the decision, I have put together a list of pros and cons.

 

• BenQ GW2765HT 27" 1440p IPS 60hz $329
  • Pros: IPS, price, tilt stand
  • Cons: 60hz, glossy, a little input lag
• Acer XG270HU 27" 1440p TN 144hz 1ms $379
  • Pros: 144hz, 1ms, no bezels
  • Cons: TN, some really bad reviews, no tilt, wobbly stand
• Pixio PX277 27" 1440p IPS 144hz $389
  • Pros: IPS, 144hz
  • Cons: Not a very known brand, thicker bezels, no tilt, wobbly stand

 

If it comes down to two monitors, I may do another post, who knows?

You have already described the important bits of each display. Figure out what's important to you and go with whichever best fits your needs.

Please don't make so many threads for the same discussion--they have been merged.

[GSTARR]

Buy a vesa mount if available

Brand names are meh

Bezels are meh

[aeroencychris]

imo you should make the decision of your resolution and framerate and go from there. hard to compare monitors with different tech specs, and I certainly wouldn't go 60hz over 144hz just because of aesthetic reasons.

I just don't know the quality of the monitors, that's mainly why I want people to vote. Not because of the specs.

What do you mean by quality?

For instance, the Pixio has great specs, but I don't know if the quality of the panel or the quality of the physical outside of the monitor. I also don't know about these monitor's quality control.

In that case, look at multiple reviews of the monitor. That's where you should find the info you're looking for.

From videos and photos, it seems like the usual cheap enclosure that isn't the prettiest thing to look at or touch and the colors won't be as well calibrated as something like the PB278Q. Pixio seems to be a pretty new company so reliability of their monitors has yet to be seen.
