1440p Display

[Kenobi3371]

I'm looking for a good gaming monitor that is 1440p and around $550 (USD). Any recommendations?

Do you have a AMD or a Nvidia card?

You're a legend, I was looking at the Acer XB270HU before this and they have very similar specs for very different prices...

Well the difference is the design (of course but for me the Dell looks better),and the Acer one you mentioned is 4ms,IPS the Dell is 1ms,TN but Dell has really good TN panels

 

Also thanks

Well you have got both the Acer XB270HU Abprz (599) and the cheaper Dell S2716DG (529) if you are looking for something that supports G sync.The dell unit got a massive discount after release.

Actually the Acer monitor is TN with 1ms response. It was mislabelled by pcpartpicker:

There's two versions of the Acer XB270HU,the Abprz and the bprz,the bprz has 4ms,IPS,the Abprz has 1ms,TN,and see he mention at different prices i'm guessing its a bprz

I heard its colours and contrast are not the best according to reviews, but that was when it was for 799, so the standard of comparison could have been higher. Can't find any reviews for Acer's monitor; I only get the IPS version reviews.

Which are a premium...

 

The criticism level could of have been higher when it was 799 since for that you can get a full blown Asus ROG....

I was speaking of the dell monitor at the start; should have made it clear.

Ik,for 799 you can get a full blown Asus ROG monitor,so maybe the criticism was higher due to the price of the Dell (before)

The dell is literally perfect for what I need, don't speak down to the legend
