Yes I would say strictly gaming. I have tried larger monitors in the past and dont think I'm ready to go over 27" personally.Is this for gaming?
Do you require a specific SIZE limitation, or can you use a 32" 1440p display? 32" is barely larger, in reality, than a 27", as seen here with my 32" next to my 27".
Im not opposed to curved, I think I could get used to that. It seems like no matter what I get I will need to make a compromise some where, most likely based on panel type as they all have positives and negatives. Im currently using an XL2411 so really anything is going to be an upgrade. There is just a million options and none seem like the perfect choice.Someday, when you put your big boy pants on, you might actually recommend something that is realistic for the majority of users, not some unrealistic upper stratosphere budget monitor that 99% of people will never spend the money for, and, for most people anyhow, that usually means less than 500 dollars. There is absolutely no reason you can't get a fantastic display for 300-500 dollars. None.
Paying more for a display is just trying to show off your ePeen to friends or strangers. Unless of course you are a professional gamer OR a person who uses the display professionally for work in the video game, graphic arts or other 3d design industries or something along those lines where it can be justified.
It's just not realistic for the majority of people to spend more than that, nor should it be.
Plus, MOST people I know who are very avid gamers, DISLIKE ultra-wide OR curved monitors for gaming. Too much hit on performance for the majority of people, for too little in return, plus most of us simply are bugged by the curved displays. And I assure you, I am talking about people wearing big boy pants. In fact, most of them run this site, so, let's not get carried away with statements like that.
dalton044, the problem though is that at 1440p 144hz the majority of displays either ARE curved, for the 27" models, or are larger, at 32". Seems the majority of 1440p 144hz displays with less than 5ms GTG response times that are worth looking at are ALSO larger than 27", much like my 32GK650F-B, so while I understand you don't want a monitor over 27", do you have issues with a curved display too?
I just think you're really limited in your options at that resolution because for the most part those features are reserved for larger panels. Honestly the majority of people I know personally with 27" displays, they are typically 1080p, but it's really on the cusp because I think 1440p is appropriate for anything that is 27" or larger. Manufacturers of good quality examples, well, there just aren't that many of those out there anymore at least if you want one that's flat too.
So based off what I could tell in that thread, I’m not very knowledge with a lot of the monitor terminology, most people did not like the ELMB feature or thought it was worth less. To get the “1ms response” you have to have ELMB enable on the monitor with G sync. I’m also not sure is Adaptive Refresh Rates even useful for say running BFV at 144hz+

It is something to consider and keep in mind that link only applies to the TN panel. You don't have to choose that specific TN monitor or that make and model. Just keep the specification like refresh rate, resolution and ms response time etc uniform. Keep in mind Asus is a reputable company and im not convinced 100% of all VG27BQ TN panels are experiencing those symptoms. If you had a problem with yours, Asus would make it right. Every monitor even from the same make and manufacturer can have performance variations differentiating from one to the next and that's why you have a return policy & warranty period. That thread is exactly that, just a thread with a few people on it and doesn't speak for the masses.
Lol if you think $750 is a house payment I feel very sad for you. What a boring monitor no wonder it costs that.
Interesting choice as it's close to a 1440p ultrawide but wouldn't be my selection due pixel density and having 5 times the amount of latency that a gaming monitor should have. At that size you might as well go 4k or 1440p Ultrawide because aiming won't be as easy because it's basically a stretched out 27" 2560 x 1440p panel with the same amount of pixels. The same can be said for 27" 1080p panels (As opposed to the 24" 1080p standard) which typically aren't a gamer's go to, especially for first person shooters where aiming is important.
