Help chosing a monitor

[D4RK]

hello,

so i need a monitor with the following specs

Resolution: 1440p  (1080p if i really have too) "might consider ultra wide monitor if they fit everything else"

Refresh Rate: 100 or more

Panel type: IPS

Screen finish: Matt

with Gsync

Budget: around 500 - 600 USD

 

now since i have been reading about the problems with asus and acer monitors, i have no idea what to consider so leave your suggesstions

 

thanks

I currently have an Asus RoG in for RMA cause of flickering, but when they work theyre great (so I'm told)

Sorry to tell you, but pretty much every monitor with those specs is gonna be over $700. 

 

Your options are this: http://www.amazon.com/Acer-Predator-XB271HU-27-inch-Widescreen/dp/B0173PEX20/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1455123395&sr=8-1&keywords=predator+xb271hu

no such thing...IPS monitors with Gsync start at 755$:

If you are okay with a TN panel you can have one for as low as 570$ (from dell) which is what i would recommend actually...IPS has problems, i've been lucky mine aint too bad but it's not perfect if you watch and play darker content steer clear from IPS it ain't for you:

the problem is not asus or acer...it's IPS technology, wake up!

i read that only the ips panels that asus and acer use have the problems, and not all the ips monitors.

no they all have it to some degree...some panels are great, some are bad, some are in the middle...it's the luck of the draw if you get minimal backlight bleed or tons of backlight bleedin every corner...i've been lucky mine ain't bad at all but it still exibit some in the lower right corner and in very dark scenes it's a problem.

 

Get the Gsync TN panel from Dell...i would take that over any IPS monitor that would not have Gsync,

<Gsync and high refresh-rate are the options not to miss on...and 1440p resolution obviously...TN vs IPS IMHo there is not much there for discussion.

 

WHICH GPU do you own BTW?

how good is that dell tn panel in terms of colors? is it really close to ips quality?

i would think so, this is a good TN panel...Dell is known for having very good TN panels pretty much across the board, i assume this is one of their best since it's an higher end high performance gaming monitor...you'd have to check reviews to be honest.

yes it's either you play it safe and save money with a tn panel with Gsync, or you go balls to the wall and spend 800$ for an IPS and cross your fingers...you can always do RMA if the panel ain't up to your expectations and hope they send a better one, or you can be lucky and get a perfect monitor on the first try...i would go with the acer predator XB271HU if you go that way...Asus customer services are a pain in the butt. (at least in north-america)
