Hi! I'm looking to buy a new monitor. In an ideal world I'd like a resolution of 1440p with IPS / 27" / 144hz and G-SYNC. When I look for a monitor that has all of these features I realize that it's incredibly expensive so it's incredibly important to me that I know what I'm getting into. I am willing to put down a lot of money for quality but so help me if it's not absolute quality. I always play games offline (DOOM, Metal Gear Solid V and the like). I'm sitting about 70 centimeters from the screen and I would be buying a new computer with a GTX1070 in order to support all those pretty pixels. A bit of context: My current monitor is a BenQ FP222Wa, which is a TN monitor and I have been using monitors like these (TN / 60hz) for the past ten years. After doing a ton of research I discovered that people are experiencing constant issues with IPS monitors, even when they're coming right out of the box. Dead pixels, blacklight bleeding, IPS glow, G-Sync module not working, ... on every online shop I go to there's always an uncomfortable number of people who've had nightmares with these monitors, and that's simply a hassle I wish to avoid. I want to ask people to share any kind of experience: be it technical problems, going from sub 1080p to 1440p, 144hz gaming, sitting distance from monitor, TN vs IPS (if the internet is to be believed, having a TN monitor is only slightly worse than having cancer) and G-Sync technology.

Looking for 1440p G-SYNC monitor

Yes, people are far louder about negative experiences that positive ones. Good point.

Is IPS that much better?

Well, I wouldn't say TN is the cancer of the monitor world, but I prefer it because in my situation, I have two monitors and off viewing color shifting really bothers me. But then again I have two TN monitors at work and I don't really seem to care.

Go hit up a brick and mortar store that has a selection of displays up on... display, it's really the only way you can figure this out for yourself.

1440P on a 27inch looks almost the same as 1080P on a 24inch. It just taxes way more gpu horsepower, and makes you have to keep spending very much money on hardware to maintain good fps. And honestly, i found 27inch to be kinda big for many games. In my opinion its better to buy a 1080P 24inch monitor and wait for 4K 144hz monitors to appear. And buy that when the gpu's is able to handle 4K. The difference between 1080P and 1440P all depends on screen size, rather than resolution itself.
