Can't decide which one of these to get

[iEmerald]

Hi, 

 

I'm going to build my first PC after a couple of months and I just wanted to get the parts ready and chosen beforehand, I decided at first to go with a 4K build except the text scaling and the 980 Ti not being enough for a full Ultra gaming at 4K were a bit of deal breakers for me. So I decided to go with a 1440p build. Except I got stuck with my Monitor choice. 

 

I have these 3 as options:

• Asus ROG Swift PG278Q (I like the G-Sync feature in this monitor along with the somewhat good physical design and the 144Hz refresh rate. I hate the fact that it's a TN Panel since I really hate the color reproduction of TN!)
• Acer XB270HU (I really loved this one! Since it has G-Sync and 144Hz refresh rate, and it's an IPS!! Except the physical design of the monitor is awful IMO) 
• Dell U2715H (This one doesn't have G-Sync nor the 144Hz refresh rate except the design is one thing I might fap to! I really love the design of this monitor.)

So any tips guys? Are there any monitors out there that have G-Sync, 144Hz refresh rate and a great physical design that I can choose? 
If not which one of these would you recommend and why .. 

 

 

Thanks in advance for everyone :3

Bought Acer XB270HU for 390€ instead of 799€ because of some death pixels + bit of ips glow and no regrets 

 

Spent that extra cash to get a Msi 980Ti

i think youre crazy, wouldnt spend so much on a broken monitor no matter how good it is.

 

but id go with the acer anyway, no point getting one thats not 144hz, plus dell make awfully overpriced junk.

I would go for the Acer monitor, I personally prefer IPS over TN.

Acer hands down

 

The panel is the most important part of the monitor, forget about its aesthetics

[Aakush]

I'd say the Acer.

You should definetly go for Acer, it's just as good as the SWIFT but with IPS and it's basically the same price. I have really bad experience with the SWIFT as well, had to send it in for repairs 3 times but ended up changing monitor entirely. Though the Swift is a brilliant screen despite the experience I had with.. Them. But for your sake I see no benefit in getting a Swift rather than Acer. IPS is Worth it.

looked on a few forums and everyone's saying acer, they said the build quality's not the best but the fact its 144hz and has ips makes all the difference, im wanting to get a 1440p monitor soon with 144hz but waiting for prices to drop, i aint paying over £250 for a monitor when i could get another 970 for that price.

How the hell is this monitor "broken" ?

 

Who cares about 1 stuck/death pixel when you are playing Battlefield 4 at 1440P 144hz ?

its gtt dead pixels etc, why buy a monitor like that? you dont know how much longer its going to last, unless you have warranty still its a  pretty dumb move.

Why would you get a second 970 for 1080P 60hz?

Lol, no I actually bought it from a store with 22 months warranty left, one of the best customer services ever because when you return a monitor they don't resell it, they put it on sale.

 

This is actually my second monitor, I've sold another one for 230€ flip in less then 48 hours

why wouldnt you? theres a thing called dsr, its not the best but it sure beats spending like £500 on a monitor, you find me a good 1440p monitor for around £225 that has 144hz.

Well £225 is 313€ i've spent 390€ on the world best gaming monitor

Well your own fault, you are missing out on a great monitor.

 

Also DSR is nice yes, but nothing close to real 1440P and 144hz! I'm getting 40FPS at 5K Witcher 3 Ultra Settings with one 980Ti.
