1. What Is Your Country Of Origin? EU - Austria

2. What do you plan to do with this monitor? Digital artwork, movies and gaming (WoW, EQ Landmark etc) Very little FPS games.

3. What resolution and screen size do you want? Minimum 1920x1080, higher would be fine also. 24" or 27" screen would be perfect. Must be an IPS monitor.

5. How much are you looking to spend? anywhere between $300 and $600 (not including shipping)

6. Brands Preferred (ex. Samsung, Acer, Asus, AOC, HP, Viewsonic, etc. ) no preference

7. Brands Not Preferred (state reason why)

8. Are You Buying More Than One Monitor? no

9. How Many Displays Can Your GPU Support Maximum? And what GPU and driver version are you using if applicable? MSI GTX N770 2Gb TF

10. What Port Do You Want To Connect To (ex. DVI-D, HDMI, etc). Does not matter really.

11. Is This Monitor A Primary Display Or A Secondary Display? primary

I have been looking around at a few IPS screens and this is definitely the direction I want to go in, but I have no idea which one to go for. Most of the reviews I found were at least a few years old with little information for monitors that are new or what is coming in 2014. Hopefully you fine people can help.

Thank you!

First off, 90+% of all monitors will come from LG or Samsung. Must Samsung use PLS (Almost identical to IPS - can Google the diff.

I bought the Asus PB278, 27" 2560 x 1440 (Uses the Samsung PLS Panel).
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824236294
Replaced a 24 In Samsung T240HD 24" TN panel 1920 x 1200 w/HDTV tuner - EXCELLENT TN panel BUT was expensive at time. The ONLY advantage of the 27 In PLS over the 24" TN was size.

Note: PB287 currently about $550 USD, In Europe due to Taxes I would guess price to be about the same EXCEPT in Euros (about 1.6 x higher than US prices)

There are some alternative to the Name brands, ie My 2nd choice was
http://www.microcenter.com/product/428348/EQ276WN_27_LED_Monitor
For Evaluation - http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/auria-eq276w-review-ips,3465.html
And Yes I would have taken this over name branded monitors. Only qualifier for the Auria monitor is that If NOT happy can get money back. In my case the Auria 27" was avalble at a Brick & mortor store so I could look.

@ Ahmadjon
That is a 27" 1920 x 1080 display. Alright for watching "movies" and maybe gaming (Not a gamer), but for use a a Monitor for general computing - Would not recommend.
Had both a 29" and a 32 " 1920 x 1080 - My 1920 x 1200 was WAY better. For 27" and higher for computer monitor I recommend the 2550 x 1440 or even better a 16:10 display.
