Which 1440p monitor should I get?

[ZasianinvasionZ]

I'm thinking of buying a 1440p monitor but I can't decide which one. I'm mostly gaming with some video and photo editing. Here's the 3 I'm considering, any advice, opinions, and alternatives are welcome. Thanks!

games or video/photo?

i would say the asus.
but first thing is... do u have a gpu that can support the resolution?

another option is to go for a 144hz..

Video/photo editing. I just game way more than I should.

oh ok in that case then stick with IPS.. many would say color reproduction is better..
TN should give you less blurring and ghosting for the cost of color and viewing angles if that mattered

I have the Acer G257HU and I love it. My last monitor was a cheap $100 TN 1080p panel and the upgrade was a nice improvement. The super thin bezel around the edge is super nice. The only downside to the Acer is there is no VESA mount on the rear.

I currently have and IPS monitor and I've never had an issue with blurring and ghosting. I have a EVGA GTX SSC 970

My current monitors are Acer and I found some VESA adapters. Do you like the size? That's the one thing holding me back from getting that one. I'm currently on 2 Acer 23inch 1080 IPS panels and I want something bigger.

My Acer is too big for my desk, I have it turned at a 10 to 15 degree angle. Haha. I have one of those old desks made for CRT monitors.

Anyway I don't have any issues with my Acer. Switching from TN to IPS and seeing the IPS glow took some getting use to. I don't even notice it anymore but my friends also complain a bit when they see it the first time but quickly learn to deal with it.

My only gripe with the monitor was the no VESA mount. Though my desk won't even fit a large widescreen let along 2 or 3 so I never really worried about it. The monitor is super light and can easily carry it with one hand at about any angle.

My current setup is a 1080p on the right on a TV tray, the Acer in the middle turned slightly counter clock wise, chair and keyboard also turned slightly, and a 3rd monitor nearly 90 degrees on my right. My PC sits above me on my desk's top shelf.

If you're really curious as to my BS setup here ya go. I'm proud of my computer at least. http://i.imgur.com/cHJ6g33.jpg

its more apparent in fast motion games. some ppl notice it some won't. but ive paused shot by shot with both monitors side by side and i saw it.
im not saying its bad im just comparing the two
