Looking for a new 1440p IPS monitor.

[Sardo]

Hi,

Im fairly sure that the topic has gone through these forums lots of times and yet again here i am.

The topic says most of it.
Im currently using U2515H but i decided its time to move on and buy a monitor with a refresh rate higher than 60Hz.
The reason i am doing this is because those 60hz aren't good enough for gaming anymore.
At first i was looking for those UW 34" curved monitors but none of them are at my price point... Well the G-Sync(yet unreleased) Predator isn't....

 

But I had my eyes set on the Acer XB27HU, however i'm not a big fan of glossy plastic.
And at that price point i was hoping for some eye-candy when its shut aswell.

Ill set my price at 900€.

If anyone can give me some good advice i will be more than happy to listen.

Have you tried overclocking your display? I have 3x P2416D's and they're all at 120hz with no issues! Might be worth a try before you go dropping money on a new display

What i forgot to mention earlier is that 25" for 1440 is a bit too small in my personal opinion.
So i would rather get a bit bigger one.

But no, i have never tried overclocking any displays.

I'm surpried if that actually is showing you all the frames, I can't find anywhere that says you can overclock those monitors. Have you validated it to make sure you're not just dropping frames? I was under the impression only monitors with a single imput (like the korean ones) could be overclocked and the rest just drop frames.

Fully verified with 0 issues, might have been lucky but no dropped frames. If I was to go any higher (issues start at around 126hz) then yes it freaks out or comes up with the "Change input to 2560x1440@60HZ" message.

Thats cool, I might look into that monitor. My samsung panel from korea only got to 96 hz before I had some colour blue issues on a fifth of the screen.

I have an Asus PB278Q that is overclocked to 85 hz.
