Which 27" 1440p monitor I should buy?

Black Friday is right around the corner, and I am thinking to replace my 21.5" 1080p HDTV Display by giving it to my little bro for a 27" 1440p monitor with IPS Display.

I already have a second screen which is AOC Envision 19" 1440x900, and I am planning to keep it as my secondary monitor rather the 21.5" HDTV, lol.

Reason is that this monitor for some reason I can't let it go. It has been with me for a long time, and I don't want to replace it regardless it isn't 1080p. 

Well, my only downside is my 19" monitor is that the stand isn't removable, 

I do game but not as much, so I mostly use it for multitasking.

4K monitor is out of question because Window is bad at scaling it.

 

I don't know which is a good 27" 1440p monitor with IPS display.

G-Sync might be nice to have, but it isn't recommended if the price is higher than non G-Sync monitor.

However, it feels like 1440p monitor are quite limited, I am seeing a lot of 27" monitor with 1080p display. I mean am I missing something or what?

As for the budget, it should be less than $300 or $400 dollar, so I can grab it when it is on sale that day. :P

Why not? They're great monitors, especially considering the price, and underneath monitors like the QNIX QX2710 and X-Star DP2710 are Samsung PLS panels. Some Korean 1440p monitors can even be overclocked to 96 or 120Hz.

Single input: Qnix/X-Star, Overlord Tempest, Catleap

Multi input: BL2710PT, Q2770PQU, EV2736W, VP2770

 

All 1440p

 

 

I see.

Hmm, do they come with one year manufacture warranty?

How stable is the stand?

It looks a bit like plastic, so I am afraid it will snap.

Yeah it's 1 year. The stand I'm not sure what it's made out of, but it seems very stable and solid according to Logan.

I was a bit suss about them to begin with ( Korean panels ), but the price for them was always tempting compared to the monitor i was look at , at the time ,

then one popped up on Gumtree locally for $250au so took the plunge and brought it .....best thing ever

Looks Great ....even tho its only running of a gtx 560 atm lol

 

buying myself a second one soon and mounting them on a dual monitor arm when i find i good one and upgrading to a gtx970

Hmm, I heard that QNIX support DVI or something like that.

For me, I have been using VGA cable, so I am not sure if it will work with QNIX.

Also can I use a console such as Xbox 360/PS3 to play on the 27" monitor?

If you are going to use VGA dont even bother getting a 1440p monitor, VGA can only output up to 1080p. You will need anything modern other than VGA to run 1440p (sometimes hdmi doesnt work either depending on the version.)

dont do 27 inch 1080p

 

Why? It results in 92 ppi vs 82 ppi for the bigger screen. Is it so bad? I am searching for a monitor myself and stumbled across this:

 

http://www.acer.de/ac/de/DE/content/model/UM.HB0EE.A01

 

144 Hz

G-Sync

27" sadly 1080P

but "just" 450€

 

My eyes can still see very well and i care about fluidity, so IPS is not an option for me and i thought this would be a nice way to enter the G-Sync + 144 Hz market, even though it's 27" 1080P...

I currently have a crappy 6 y/o TN panel 60 Hz so i'm not spoiled yet but i think that's the way i want to go. :D

who cares...
