Just tried a second 24" 1200p screen in Pivot and sent it back coz I didnt like that setup at all (monitor itself was ok). Need help picking out something bigger so i can run at least 2 applications side by side properly. (alt+tab workflow sucks) Will list my demands to make it a bit easier to help me out :)

 

  • 27" 1440p, or an ultrawide 34" at most. (do prefer 1440p since its easier on gfx when gaming)
  • ips or pls (or ahva)  with somewhat accurate colours preferred
  • pwm free or close to it (sensitive to flicker and use fairly low brightness. use eizo now at 20% where its flickerfree and with low brightness, works great)
  • free from ips glow (or very little) at normal viewing angle, straight infront
  • low latency and quick pixels (minimal overshoot and ghost) since i will use the screen for some gaming as well and not only for coding and excel (no pro gamer tho, TN is no option)
  • good quality control from manufactorer, dont want to have to send back 5 screens just to get one with no bleeding and all pixels intact. (my eizo ev2436 spoiled me, no bleed whatsoever)
  • good flexible sturdy stand
  • max $1000, cheaper preferred ofc.
  • available in europe

 

30% gaming, 50% coding excel and studying, 20% browsing n' etc.

 

Thanks in advance!

The best monitor out there is the swift:

But im not that informed, maybe there's sth cheaper (but not 144hz gsync and all that stuff :D)

Expensive option: RoG Swift.

An LG 34 incher is a solid choice that also breaks the bank, but damn... All dem pixels...
