Are there any 1440p monitors that are around the 300$ price range that are ips pls or va and have a slim bezel and have good customer service? Thanks.

There are those korean manufactured monitors by shimian ,x-star & qnix, some of these 1440p suffer from backlight bleeding unless you purchase the "perfect pixel" model, I also gotta say that some just suffer utterly crap build quality & stands.

 

I don't believe there are too many 1440p monitors within this price point & criteria. FHD monitor are more acceptable for your budget.

I'd buy a Qnix, I got mine at Christmas time and I absolutely love it! :)

This.

.

 

Plus, with the lower cost IPS panels you're going to see A LOT of input lag. The total lag of the cheaper monitors can be more than double that of a slightly higher priced monitor.

If the stand is that bad then mount it with an arm.

The Korean monitors use the same panel as the PB278, it is by no means a cheap panel. Besides the fact that theyre PLS and not IPS. I notice any input lag in mine so your points are invalid

I know, I think the Dell fanboi still in me would suggest their monitor stands or some mainstream manufacturer.

That doesn't mean input lag will be the same.

It's been tested, and proven by TFT Central.
