Display refunded, looking for a replacement

Well apparently they thought there was nothing wrong with the display. Fortunately under Dutch law they're obligated to refund items purchased online for 14 days, so I got my money back.

However, I'm not really inclined to purchase a similar screen since it appeared to me this was a clear fabrication fuck-up with the bezel.

 

Which also means ASUS is off the table. I'm back to looking for replacements. A few contestants are the AOC Agon AG271QX and the Dell S2716DG. With the latter having the benefit of having g-sync. I'm still running a 980.

Any other idea's? Budget can be inferred from the suggestions.

I'm really gonna strongly suggest gsync. I game at 1080p 144Hz with a 1080 and even with my 1080 and cannot hit 144Hz at all times. I assume that's especially true at 1440p and a 980. Gsync will let you run higher settings and not worry about tearing or even noticing as your framerate bounces from say 110-144Hz or something.

Asus' TN panels are excellent and reliably work out of the box, is honestly go for a PG278Q or something 1080p 144hz g-sync

Seems to have the same poor uniformity and edging issues.

Well my MG278Q is working fantastically on my 1060 and calibrating it made the colours excellent. It's a great monitor but obviously I'm a bit biased

 

i didn't encounter the same issues with Asus TN as IPS while researching for my monitor

That's an F in the profile pic

I'm thinking now between the Acer Predator XB271HUA (that's the 1440p TN panel, not the HU (1440p IPS)) and the aforementioned Dell panel.

But can't find much about the HUA.
