How does the Acer (XB271HU) stack up to the Asus equivalent? As I recall, the PG279Q was regarded as the best 1440p gaming monitor, but I no longer buy Asus.

Are there any other 1440p IPS monitors I should consider?
 
I own the PG279Q, great monitor though pricey the joystick is really nice for controlling the menus. Like said above the AOC AG271QG and ViewSonic XG2703-GS are cheaper alternatives and very good from reviews I have seen, they should be plenty reliable. Also like said above XB271HU and PG279Q use pretty much the same AU Optronics panel, they are very similar monitors and both suffer from backlight bleed on some samples so be aware of that.
