Could you tell us what pc you have? I ask only because the first monitor is 60hz with 6ms response time, and the second is 75hz refresh rate with 4ms response time. A good quality 1440p monitor has 144hz refresh rate at 1-2 ms response time. If you have a pc that can game at 1440p resolution I was wondering what pc/gpu you have.

Thank you for the response and great question. I see what you're getting at. I do game, and do so with an nvidia card. My primary monitor is just as you described a 27" 1440p w 144hz refresh rate (dont recall the response time, think 1!) and has g-sync. This would be replacing my secondary monitor which is a 10yr old 27" 1080p. I upgraded my main a year ago, and it's been no fun dragging windows across two monitors of diff resolutions. Been waiting for a discount 1440p to upgrade the secondary. Its uses are for multitasking w work and then entertainment as well - so this mainly means web browsing, youtube in the background, work docs open, assisting me when doing some photoshoping and video editing on my main monitor. So clarity, colors, viewing angle those I guess are more important for this secondary
