options at 2560x1440p at 144hz

[Javiek]

I am looking to get a 2560x1440p at 1440hz monitor but I am not sure of what brand to go with or what models would be good.

what's your GPU? AMD or NVIDIA

I am currently on a gtx1060 so i will need to upgrade to be able to utilize a higher refresh rate.

[Techicolors]

do you care about g-sync or freesync? 

[Javiek]

I would love to have it since this going to be a long term investment.  I know that freesync tends to be cheaper than gsync but at the moment i dont know that there is a RX gpu that can do high refresh rates at 2560x1440p.

First post on here but I can fully recommend the Asus ROG Swift PG27UQ, its a tad pricey (Around £700) but is fully worth it IMO! I've had mine for about a week now and it is nothing short of perfect

Dell has a 24 and 27" 1440 144hz monitor with Gsync. I have one and a 1060. Games that run at 144fps look great. Games that run at 60+ fps also look great.

Many of the 27" 1440p 144hz IPS G-sync monitors are plagued by quality control issues. I bought a AOC AGON AG271QG monitor some while ago, and I had to RMA it almost instantly because of some wierd clouding/backlight bleed issues.

 

To AOC's credit the RMA process was very fast and they even sent me the new one first so I didn't have to be without a monitor. The new one I got is awesome, and I'm very happy with my purchase. Beware though as I've read about people going through 5+ monitors before getting one with an acceptable level of backlight bleed regardless of brand. Some people are more picky than others though.

 

The ones I looked at were:

ASUS PG279Q

ACER XB271HU

AOC AGON AG271AG

Viewsonic XG2703-GS

 

They all use the same panel from AU optronics, except the Acer one that has a bezel-less version of the panel. The AOC one is generally the cheapest, but in my opnion the best looking. That is personal preference though

 

If you are willing to use a TN panel many people recommend the Dell S2716DG which is cheaper than all the ones I have listed. These also don't seem to have problems with backlight bleed.

Acer xb271hu or Asus pg279q would be my choice now. I use the xb270hu and there is no blb. IPS and Gsync is a must have if you go for a Monitor like this.

From personal experience i can only recommend the Acer XB271HU  if you want IPS, or the Dell S2716DG, which is cheaper but uses a TN panel (A pretty decent one). If you are going to spend so much money on a monitor you need to make sure you get GSync/Freesync.

 

The Asus PG279Q is pretty much the same monitor as the XB271HU, but has a lot of quality control issues, so i wouldn't recommend it.
