Best 2560x1440 27'' monitors right now?

[bolo822]

Hello,

I'm planning to buy gaming monitor this month, my gpu is GTX 970 (one card) i7 and I was thinking about buying 2560x1440 monitor since I've heard one gtx 970 is enough for it to run all games at this resolution with stable fps and really nice graphics.

Also I've heard the difference in gaming between 2560x1440 and full hd is really big and noticable

I'd like to buy 27' inch monitor so it is a must, now I don't know if it must have 144 hz but I've heard it is standard or nearly nowadays.. I really don't know which one to choose since there is so much monitors on the market that I just don't know which one lol..

After reading around the web I see Asus PB278QR IPS is pretty good?

Can someone advice me which one would be best also Im not planning to spend more than 500-550 USD unless there is really dfference for comparable low difference in price.

Thanks and I hope that someone can help me out!

I wouldn't suggest a 1440p monitor for a GTX 970 espically if your gonna be gaming on it. but anyway to answer your question this the Asus ROG PB278QR is a good choice http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824236405 and also the BENQ XL2730Z is also a great choice. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824236405

QNIX has been very popular with 27" 2560x1440... readily found on Amazon and ebay

Why? I heard and did read on this forum that GTX970 is really good for 1440p ?? Also you said Asus PB278QR but you linked to way more expensive PG278Q 😛 It was mistake or Asus PB278QR is not so good?

 

[foolishcreature]

Pg278Q is a 1ms response 144hz monitor. It is much better than the PB278QR, but alot more expensive. The GTX 970 is poor for gaming when it comes to 1440p, but amazing when it comes to 1080p.

You will probably be able to get a consistent 30FPS at ultra, if thats what you want?

I dont need every eyecandy thing in a game and also I wont need AA from what Ive seen on multiple forums and on this one also that gtx 970 is doing really well at 1440p 😛

If you could, can you tell me better monitor than ASUS PB278QR but lower in price than one you mentioned?? And from what I understand asus PB278QR isn't bad right? Its good?

Thanks!

Yeah its not bad its just that the 5ms isn't good for a $400 monitor. How about this Acer monitor its a bit cheaper http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824009740&cm_re=1440p_monitor-_-24-009-740-_-Product

I would check this out. Asus IPS 1440p 144hz monitor.
http://pcpartpicker.com/part/asus-monitor-mg279q

Now keep in mind it is $200 more than the 60hz Asus. If you plan on upgrading your 970 to something in the future, maybe Nvidia Pascal GPU's, and you enjoy 144hz I would get this. Otherwise the 60hz Asus one is fine.

Thanks for reccomendation, but should I really buy monitor with FreeSync technology while I have GTX 970?? And despite that I will never buy AMD card??

^Somebody answer me this question please I'd like tobuy monitor today😛

Well you can spend the extra $200 and get the Acer monitor with G sync if you want.

But to me IPS panels and refresh rate matter more to me than G sync.
