Please help me pick a new gaming monitor

[laurencetucker71]

I've been looking at a new monitor to buy and have narrowed it down to 3. Please see links and let me know what your choice would be and why. This is for a new PC build using a GTX 1080.

If I had to pick between the three you selected, I would go with the ASUS ROG Strix XG27VQ. But it is not my first choice. A curve for a 27" monitor is just marketing. Your peripherals will have no issues and the curve is not needed. It has a better panel (VA) than the other two. VA's have better colors and viewing angles than TN panels.

I would not go 4k. You will have to dial back settings to get 60fps on a 1080 at 4k.

If it were me and it were my system, I would go with this:

You really should pair a 1080 with a 1440p monitor. It is the sweet spot for resolution and refresh rate and will work great with a 1080. The monitor is a TN panel, so it wont have as good of color or viewing angles as the Strix you suggested. But the higher resolution will make up for that and the 1080 will be strong enough to still give you high fps even at 1440p.

Thank you Feelfroggy777!!

I did some more research and I think I'm going to go with the following:

That is a really nice monitor. It is a TN panel, but some people like them more because they have faster response times. But I cant see a difference between 1ms and 5ms. Gsync and 240hz is awesome. But you will need a good CPU to push a 1080p panel to that high fps. If it were me, I would rather have a 1440p and 144hz. It has lower refresh, but high resolution. I think it is the sweet spot for a 1080. But that is just my personal preference. If you buy that monitor, I think you will be happy for a long time to come.
