Planning on converting to pc in the near future. probably going to go for a Z97 system with a 970.

can't decide on a monitor to buy but have shortlisted a few, 

 

-Korean 1440p with/without multi input

-Bl2710Pt, gw2765ht, pb278q or similar

-1080 IPS

-cheap TN 4k (not really wanted but i put in simply because they are on par with some 1440p monitors in terms of price)

 

i plan to use the computer mainly for gaming, and it would also be nice to be able to use my ps4 on it. i understand that anything non 1080p will decrease image quality on the ps4, but i think its a fair tradeoff.

I live in Australia and plan spending 250-600 aud on it.

currently on a laptop with a 3rd gen intel i7, and i was also leaning towards those, have you had any experience with any of those listed? The PB278Q seems to be the best, but it comes in at ~$150 more than the others

@tknights96, the ASUS PB278Q is a popular monitor, many people have bought it, however, it is a tad more expensive than the other 1440p monitors mentioned. The BenQ BL2710PT or GW2765HT are probably great options. I've been thinking about going with two of the BenQ GW2765HT monitors for my planned build, so it might be one to seriously consider. :)

ON A 7 MONTH BREAK FROM THESE LTT FORUMS. WILL BE BACK ON NOVEMBER 5th.
