Looking for a 1440p monitor

[King Oriax]

I want to upgrade to a 1440p monitor that has g-sync, an ips panel, and runs at +80hz overclocking or otherwise. I've found a few that look fine but I've read some reviews about them being either dead on arrival or having major issues. I looked into upgrading almost a year ago but now there's hopefully more than 2 options on the market so any recommendations would be awesome.

Asus PG279Q

There are really only two, Asus PG279Q or the Acer XB217HU. They are both essentially exactly the same, just pick the one that you can get for cheaper

I was kinda hoping there would be more out there now but oh well. Guess I'm going with the acer because cheaper, better reviews > extra 20fps

You could look at the last years models, the PG278Q and the XB270HU, but both had some QC problems, especially the Acer. Buying the revised versions is a smarter move in this case.
