Best IPS 1440p Monitor for ~US$370

[S65AMG]

I am looking at the Acer H257HU, the ASUS PB258Q and the Dell Ultrasharp U2515H, could you guys give me advice on this?

My personal opinion would be for the Ultrasharp... That's essentially Dell's business line, fantastic A+ panels.

I have the PB258Q, fun fact though, the ASUS and the Dell use the same panel. they're *Basically* the same monitor, from different companies. Super gorgeous panel at any rate. Don't expect to Overclock it at all though, won't even take 61Hz

How do you find it?

I would actually get this:

They're known to overclock very well, easily reaching upwards of 90 fps. Some go as high as 120 fps, although that's just luck of the draw.

It's still IPS, but it's not a professional grade IPS.

Quality wise? Mine came with 2 dead pixels, both within an inch of the side of the panel, so they can't even hardly be seen. at this resolution and on up, even on a plain white background, it looks more like a spec of dust on the screen than a dead pixel. Color reproduction is excellent, depending on which mode you have it set in. Menus are... there. Not bad to get around in though. Honestly, the deciding factor between the PB258 and U2515 was that the PB has real buttons, but the U2515 only has capacative ones.

 How about dead pixels?

These Korean panels are known to sometimes have dead pixels

Oh god those bezels though...

Warranty states no dead pixels, so if there are any it's covered. I'm not saying it's perfect, but for a budget it seems to be the best of all worlds: 1440p, higher refresh rate, and IPS.

That's a shame because it is a really good screen and it is one of the cheaper 1440p screens.

Ugly, glossy, low quality.

No thank you.
