I just got my acer g257hu from Amazon a few days ago and I love it

 

1440p IPS at 279.99 pre tax.  My only gripe is it has a silver border on the bottom instead of being all black and the stand is so so.  Personally I can prefer the book aesthetic for a stand anyway though.

so as the title says im looking for a new monitor. i would prefer 1440p or 2k. the issue for me is that i cant stand the xx:9 aspect ratio of most monitors, i love the area that i get from my 16:10 monitor. i would prefer ips or va if possible. and while im not a twitch gamer i would like the response time below 10ms. lastly im willing to spend 450$ on this but right now 350$ is the spot i would really like to stay in. if this isnt possible just tell me. :D

 

 

 

currently im looking at the koren monitors shown off in tek syndicates video

I completely agree, although you will pay more.  The two monitors I recommended are good.
