IPS X Normal LED

[EliteSprrow]

So, I was waiting to buy the new ROG monitor from Asus: http://rog.asus.com/296652014/news/rog-announces-the-pg278q-swift-27-inch-wqhd-g-sync-gaming-monitor/

 

But, I realised that it is not an IPS monitor, so should I buy it or look for something like the upcoming 1440p 1ms response 60hz IPS from asus?

 

Because one has 144hz, gsync and all that gaming stuff but it isnt IPS.

 

Basically, I want the best experience possible (and I am a graphic whore), so should I buy IPS or Gsync?

 

 

Edit:

Chosing between 1440p IPS or 1440p GSync non IPS?

Anyone has ever seen any of these in person?

IPS screens are still LED.

IPS should be compared to TN.

 

Really,we don't know anything about upcoming stuff.

Also,do you have a powerful enough GPU to run games at 1440p?

Yes the LED part refers to the backlight that's used, as opposed to CCFL backlighting in cheaper/older units. LED is better because it need no warm-up time, but even then, there's a difference between RGB LED backlighting and white LED backlighting. RGB emits lights in three discrete wavelengths which is easier for the subpixels to filter, which means the colors will be more vibrant and you'll have deeper blacks as well.

I think I do, gtx 780 TI, that should do it

But, anyway, isthe IPS much better?

I wouldn't get gsync if I were you. With freesync coming out soon I'm expecting some sort of external adapters to become available in no time.

Good idea. I'll be getting asus' 4k monitor as soon as it's available in my country, too

Yeah, I dont even know when will it become availabe in the US, but im excited to buy it, hope that it is not more than 1000 dollars.

 

PS: I have a gtx 780 TI, what will I be able to do in 4k, because it is not powerfull enought to run any games in 60 FPS...

It should be around 700$

 

The benchmarks you see online usually have the games set on ultra with aa on. If you turn of aa (which is useless at 4k) and make do with high (not ultra) settings, you should still get 60fps. I think the higher resolution is a bigger improvement to visual quality than ultra settings are. Usually ultra settings are just there for benchmarks and to give people with high end cards the impression of actually needing those cards even at 1080p and usually do not offer a big improvement in image quality. Take a look at the many quality comparisons you find on youtube between low, medium, high and ultra settings, you'll find usually the difference is minimal with a big impact on performance. Don't worry, you should be fine.

Awsome, I didnt know what you said about ultra, thank you, I will look ate comparsions to see if it is true.

 

Edit: Yeah, i read a bit and noticed that depends on the game, bost most of them, there is no big difference
