#1 TN: Pixio PX278: compare reviews to LG 27GL850, amazing, wide 95% DCI-P3 color gamut, (only 2-3 percent off from top of the line IPS LG 27GL850) 2-3ms real world response times at 1-144 hz (no overdrive necessary), 400-nit peak brightness panel lottery seems far less of a problem. Personal fav, little known gem, not available on amazon:

Black friday $40 dollar off coupon available starting tomorrow at /.ca IPS: #1 LG 27GL83A, 27GL850 take the cake but they are expensive and you are playing panel lottery often have a good amount of backlight bleeding The $360 two week old GIGABYTE M27Q 27' 0.5 ms 170Hz 1440P 92% DCI P3 with x2 usb3 and 1x usb-c quality stand + osd may be a run for the money though. Alternatives: Gigabyte G27QC (uses the same panel as the AOC CQ27G2, but a bit more expensive) However its out of stock and almost impossible to find one anywhere. When speaking about screen alone it easily takes the cake and response time outperforms all other VA's, and competes well with mid level IPS response times, but comes with only one cavet, one must switch overdrive tuning at 100hz and 144 hz for optimal GtG/Ghosting performance, and use software to calibrate their monitor color. VA: #1 Viotek GFV27DAB (if you can find it, its out of stock, and no longer available on amazon) Bonus: flat screen. If you can afford a 3080/3090, I imagine this may be a sweetspot.Īnyway, after a few days of intensive research I have narrowed it down to the top 3 price to performance monitors for 1440p.

I'm sure higher pixel density at 27 would be nice and noticeable, esp for productivity, but a higher hz would be the most noticeable in terms of overall feel one must also factor in the hardware requirements for graphics or gaming, which will require a much more powerful gpu. Specs-wise, it has a 3840 x 2160 resolution, a 1000:1 static contrast ratio, a 350 cd/m² brightness rating, a 5 ms response time, and support for 1.07 billion colors. 'Anything higher than 69Hz and the display would complain 'out of range'.' The 27UK650-W 27' 16:9 4K HDR FreeSync IPS Monitor from LG is packed with plenty of features designed for gamers such as AMD FreeSync, Gaming Profiles, Black Stabilizer, and Dynamic Action Sync. 'what is the max refresh rate at 1440P? please post your max custom/oc hz at 1440p.'
