Budget 1440P monitor for GTX 980

[Trolling]

Any recommendation on 1440P monitor for GTX 980?

I prefer gaming on 24"-27" display. 

 

What's the most bang for the buck type of display for gaming?

Would you want 144HZ as well?

Not a must. I'm used to gaming on 60hz

Looks like a decent option. 

I'm little bit worried with the 4MS response time. 

Would that result in ghosting?

Anything under 5ms is fine. Would have to be a lot higher for ghosting.

Im running a dell u2515h with 6ms of input lag, and frankly the move to 60 hz is more noticeable than the increase in input lag (no perceivable motion blur).

 

Unless you want 60+hz, input lag is usually not a problem (at 60hz ips with slightly higher input lag is always better)

He is talking about ghosting here and not input lag. 4ms is the response time for grey to grey.

 

Refer http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/278610-display-technology-faqmythbuster/ for what the difference between input lag and response time.

anything that is manufactured today has no serious ghosting, unless it's a 50$ throwaway monitor.

for example u2414h has 8ms response time compared to gaming monitors

I see. so you think the posted Acer is a good option at the price point?

How reliable are Acer monitors usually?

If I order Online and if it shows up with few dead pixels, it might really annoy me..

They're fine. You can always RMA the display if it comes with dead pixels.
