27" 1440p Monitor?

[Yodaskool]

Hey, I've been using my crappy 21.5" Acer monitor for around a year now, and I feel like my eyes deserve better. I'm currently searching for a 27" 1440p monitor, preferably with a panel better than TN.

My top candidate ATM is the BenQ GW2765HT. It sports the 1440p resolution I want with a IPS panel. I like the sound of the monitor as it doesn't cost a fortune, but is there a better option for the money? The cheapest I found it was €400.

I've also read about the BenQ BL2710PT; it's basically the same as the GW2765HT with a heftier price tag and a few features more. Any ideas on this?

Do you have a capable graphics card for 1440p?

If you do, It's most certainly going to be worth it.

I'll be purchasing the monitor alongside the GTX 970. I've checked plenty of places, it should be able to run the games I play at 1440p at a good framerate.

I am currently running the k27hul from acer, 27inch 1440p with my water cooled reference gtx 980. I admit I use my 144hz for any fps type gaming, but I got that 1440p 27inch for about $260 on sale. It was just too good to pass up being a close cousin to an IPS panel. I was running GTA 5 Y-day at high settings and I ran fraps and kept 50+ FPS on the 1440p.

do you have a GTX 970 SLI, GTX 980 or anything equal to that from team Red? if so 1440p is worth it

Anything equivalent to a 280x will run 1440p just fine. Generally performance is just fine because your able to turn AA down, I ran a single 7970 on 1440p for a long time, I have now crossfired but there are still times when I have to run just one due to CF compatibility issues and a single 7970/280x does the job.

I have the Qnix 1440p korean monitor and I recommend it. You will save a lot of money compared to the BenQ but I recommend reading up on the korean panels first before committing. http://www.overclock.net/t/1384767/official-the-qnix-x-star-1440p-monitor-club

Thanks for all your inputs, but are there any monitor models that you guys could suggest?

That is the monitor I have ^^^ speaking only from experience. THE ONLY reason I went with this monitor is the price. There are so many $400+ monitors that will best this thing. I wanted to get into a 1440p monitor without paying over $700 with a decent response time(6ms) so you will see some tearing if you go turning off AA and whatnot to increase FPS. IT is a 60HZ monitor so if your coming from 120+ HZ you will notice the 6ms. I love the monitor, it is my daily driver and the only time I swap over to my 144hz is really for StarCraft when I feel like laddering. otherwise I let my sister use the 144hz l0l

Everyone seems to be suggesting the monitor, it's just that with the same money I can get the GW2765HT - at least here where I live.

Where can we actually find a decent list of available Korean monitors like the Qnix? I've looked into it before but I didn't actually find much.
