Any advice regarding this one

So i was planning to buy this 

Dell U2713HM 27-inch UltraSharp IPS Panel

is this good for gaming? If not can you suggest any other 1440p monitor. i'm not into 3 monitor setup.

I recommend QNIX or XStar Korean monitors.

Just from pure stats (as I don't own one) http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824009553 this looks like a better monitor. It is also less expensive.

Other than the fact it's expensive...? Dell monitors usually are really amazing so it wouldn't be a bad buy, but I don't know if there are cheaper alternatives.

That is 1080P

The Dell one isn't "bad" but it's only 60HZ

So this dell is good for gaming? The price is not a problem. I can handle it's price. It's just that i love dell.

I got one myself coming from a 22 inch 1080p TN panel.

The colors on this monitor are really great, and i love 1440p for general stuff and coding.

 

I'm not sure if i would recommend it for gaming. Not because its a bad monitor but because 1440p is a lot of pixels to fill. I have a GTX780 and i just cant get my games to run at highsettings and get above 60fps 100% of the time.

 

For games like League of Legends this isnt a problem because its such an ugly but light game. If you're gonna run more intensive games like Battlefield or Metro i would consider going for a 1080p screen.

 

 

About the monitor itself: good colors, default brightness is too high in my opinion (75%). I personally dont experience input lag but im not a good/hardcore FPS gamer (playing League of Legends almost exclusively). What I really like is that you can adjust the brightness from software using Dells display manager. You can also use that program to devide you're screen in more then 2 halfs and snap programs in (windows only let's u snap programs to the side taking half the screen).

Dell's ultrasharp lineup is amazing, just amazing, its kinda like the asus'es Proart series, just a tad less expensive at times
