Display to pair with 1070

I'm looking to find a display to pair with a 1070.  I'd rather not pay more than 400GBP.  24'' or more 27-28 would be ideal.  I'm looking at either a 1440p with greater than 60Hz refresh with less than 2-3ms response time, or 4k with less than 5ms response. I play mostly RPG's but I do play some competitive games like Overwatch, I'm not that high ranked so a 1ms display is that important just not silly bad, I use a 4ms at the moment and don't notice it that often. 

 

Thanks

Response times honestly don't mean anything. The human eye and brain literally cannot notice a difference between 1-10ms. Input lag is the important factor, which most manufacturers don't even measure, which is why pro gamers don't use TVs.

Ok... lol, not what I was looking for. I was looking for a "panel type" header and for it to list the panel type thusly below a relevant header, not just say no to IPS. So... what panel type is it then?

Not IPS, therefore TN. Logic

 

I know there's a third standard but nobody uses it.

I was under the impression that there are more than TN and IPS such as PLS/OLED/VA and some slightly different iterations of those. So, more than 2 types?

OLED is ridiculously more expensive, no one uses PLS except maybe one or two Samsung monitors and nobody uses VA (let's be honest it's true)

Ok, until it tells me the panel type is something other than not IPS I will normally assume it could be any of the above except maybe OLED b/c price.

So you have a 1070, well I would recommend getting a 27'' 1440p  since that's where 1070 shines at it's best. So let's start by explaining some things, first of all I recommend not going for TN panel with 1ms response time unless you're a hardcore fps gamer and to be completely honest with you I don't think you'll be able to see the difference between 4ms and 1ms in your usage of the monitor. Therefore I would say going for IPS with 4ms for sure.

 

I saw you were wondering about different panels as well, don't get confused by VA, AHVA, AH-IPS, PLS etc. there are almost no difference between these panels it's just Samsungs way to market things "PLS is better then IPS" in some cases yes it's better but the difference is tiny and they both have the same idea (Better viewing angles and better colors). 60Hz or 144Hz and here I would say go for 144Hz if you got the money for it. I can link you some high-end and a bit more low-end monitors for you.

The Acer XF270HU - 1440p, 144Hz, IPS... but it doesn't have G-Sync (it does have FreeSync).

 

My reasoning for this is that you're going to want to have a monitor with a higher refresh game for a game such as Overwatch. As for response times, ignore them. The advertised response time doesn't reflect the actual response time because it varies between testing...

 

Besides, you cannot recognise the difference between 1ms and 5ms: http://www.humanbenchmark.com/tests/reactiontime

Thanks for all the pointers guys, I'll have a good look over these and see what fits me best.  Also thanks for clearing up my obvious lack of knowledge when it comes to panel tech and what actually matters to a human.
