Best Price 144hz 1440p 27inch in the UK at the moment. You might think its ugly but that gamer look with give you at least 5 fps more

https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B017DG09WM#Ask

Tick all your boxes? A little pricy but when you start searching for 1440p over 60hz they'll start to cost you over 3/400 and an extra 100/200 for G-sync, which you probably are aware of

I'd wait until black friday if it's not urgent

I have been waiting for good deals on 1440p 144hz ips gsync monitors like this one: https://www.amazon.de/gp/offer-listing/B017DG09WM/ref=olp_f_usedVeryGood?ie=UTF8&m=A8KICS1PHF7ZO&f_usedLikeNew=true

It would end up being 500€ for "like new" condition with the packaging damaged which is fine by me.

But I'm afraid that those units have been bad panel lottery tickets and are sent back because of unacceptable backlight bleed.

​

Any thoughts?

afaik, at worst the card won't use the freesync tech and just sticks with the standard refresh rate of the monitor. the closest competitor is this which is 130€ more to just have g-sync tech.
Frankly, gaming on 120 or even 144Hz is a bonus for me. Rock solid 60 is what i'm looking for, so refresh rate for the monitor is kind of a plus. The big features i'm looking into are screen res, size (inches) and ips panels for color fidelity. The rest is bonus.

About the cpu, i'd take a 6700 for the new tech that offers and future software support for that. My 2600k runs still fine, in terms of raw performance, but of course newer cpus perform better with similar specs

EDIT:

Also, maybe i'll change my old 7970 with a 480 on my old rig so i can use it as a lan party pc/ weightlifting machine

What would people rather buy then? This or https://www.amazon.co.uk/Acer-Predator-XB271HU-screen-Monitor/dp/B017DG09WM ?

I'd encourage you to look into 1440p displays. Better picture quality than 1080p with much lower performance impact than 4k. It's more or less the ideal resolution for your GPU. You'll get 60+ fps on most new games.

Additionally, there is very little native 4k content out there (outside of gaming). As I understand it, the only web browser capable of displaying even 1080p content on Netflix is Edge. I don't even think the Windows App lets you watch in 4k, though I haven't done much research on this; you may want to look it up.

For just a little more than that 4k display you listed, you can get a 1440p 144hz G-Sync monitor (I can't overstate how wonderful G-Sync is).

These are worth a look:

• Dell S2716DG (TN)
  
  
• Asus PG278Q (TN)
  
  
• Asus PG279Q (IPS)
  
  
• Acer XB271HU (IPS)
  
  Or course, you could save some money by going with a 60hz panel, or a 144hz without G-Sync. My brother has this Dell monitor; it's only 60hz and it doesn't have G-Sync, but the picture quality is fantastic for the price.
  
  For what it's worth, I use the PG279Q that I linked with a GTX 980ti, which performs very similarly to your 1070, and it really is the 'sweet spot' for that card.
  
  Good luck with your search!
  
  Edit: That 1080p Asus monitor you mentioned looks pretty great too. I'd choose that over 4k any day, but it's all personal preference in the end.

I had a similar choice but went with this instead

https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B017DG09WM/ref=mp_s_a_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1504260518&sr=8-2&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_FMwebp_QL65&keywords=acer+predator+xb241h&dpPl=1&dpID=41RM5Kmuk4L&ref=plSrch

It was cheaper than the ASUS and I couldn't see much difference at all. Also overclocks to 165Hz

> Asus PG279Q

I got the same problem as you,waiting for the LG screen...
But amazon has some deals.

https://www.amazon.de/gp/product/B017DG09WM/ref=ox_sc_act_image_1?smid=A352GYWHC9IPR3&psc=1 For example,but the price is so low that it feels to good to be true..

Thanks everyone.

I decided to go way over budget, as an Acer Predator xb271hu 27" was on sale for 500 euro.

https://www.acer.com/ac/en/GB/content/predator-model/UM.HX1EE.005

Amazon Warehouse deal: https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/offer-listing/B017DG09WM/ref=dp_olp_used?ie=UTF8&condition=used

(Look at the bottom entry).

Hopefully it's as good as it looks!

Have one of these in good nick if your interested? https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B017DG09WM/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Been in the market for a new gaming monitor for a while.

At face value, this (https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B017DG09WM/ref=ox_sc_saved_title_2?smid=A3P5ROKL5A1OLE&psc=1) Amazon Prime Day deal seems very good?

Any thoughts/people who own this who can vouch for it being as good as the specs appear?

How about this one, its cheaper and can also reach 165hz OC

Edit: Also, I dig the curved screen on this one (FreeSync)

I might need to try turning it off. I've toyed around quite a bit with the settings and really disliked the minor tearing that I had.

I have https://www.amazon.co.uk/Acer-Predator-XB271HU-screen-Monitor/dp/B017DG09WM

The XF270HUA is also a TN panel.

​

Personally I like the color accuracy and the viewing angles of IPS. But it's a lot more expensive.

​

If you want IPS, the Acer Predator XB271HU is the pendant you're looking for. But it's a 200 € premium. If the price is ok with you, I'd recommend it.

I'm looking to get a new monitor, the specs I'm looking for are 144hz, G sync, IPS screen, and 1440p resolution. Two monitors I like are the:

Acer Predator XB271HU 27

https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B017DG09WM/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_YqBIzbCHESQH5

and ASUS ROG Swift PG279Q

https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B017EVR2VM/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_mqBIzbD2N2EMY

The Acer has better reviews on amazon but the Asus has 165hz, just looking for some advice before I pull the trigger and buy one, any recommendations for the two? Or is there another monitor that I missed?

I got the Acer Predator XB271HU.

It's pretty decent and I'm fairly happy with it. From the soudns of it, it does not seem better than the PG279q, but I got it new on sale for £200 less so.... (Currently is not on sale, unfortunately)

https://www.amazon.co.uk/Acer-Predator-XB271HUbmiprz-ZeroFrame-Adjustable/dp/B017DG09WM

Yes, that's the one. Basically price wise it's pretty nice and the 4ms doesn't bother me too much, because i'm not a professional competitive gamer. I paid 420€ and you basically get the same monitar as this one (https://www.amazon.de/Acer-Predator-XB271HUbmiprz-Monitor-H%C3%B6henverstellbar/dp/B017DG09WM/ref=sr_1_2?__mk_de_DE=%C3%85M%C3%85%C5%BD%C3%95%C3%91&keywords=Acer+Predator+27&qid=1555609847&s=gateway&sr=8-2) except the G-Sync which costs 661€ here in germany. And because nowadays you can use freesync with nvidia cards I don't see the point to pay 200+€ more for just g-sync. Also it has pretty nice reviews and it's an IPS panel with the exact specifications that are important to me: 27", 144hz, 1440p, IPS. That's why I decided myself for this monitor. :)

What about this? https://www.amazon.co.uk/Acer-Predator-XB271HUbmiprz-ZeroFrame-Adjustable/dp/B017DG09WM/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1537010592&sr=8-1&keywords=acer%2Bpredator%2Bmonitor&th=1

The panel you recommended is TN, and I really prefer IPS

Lol rlly? 3ms is nothing. Compared with all that you win in colours I'd think is worth taking and IPS over a TN.

The monitor is here if you wanna check it out

Is not on such a sale, but is still not that much over budget.

Must be a different model then...? It's this one as far as I can see.

Here are the links to the monitors, I didn’t know you could do this, I’m fairly new to Reddit;

Samsung 34”

Acer Predator

ASUS ROG

Samsung 49”

ViewSonic XG2703-GS

Could be a good deal but the Acer Predator XB271HU Is probably a slightly better choice and is already at £599

It says that your budget is about 2800, is that true or did you misclicked the 2 instead of 1 (1800$, would make more sense since your PC is at 1400 dollars and you're willing to pay 500$ for a monitor at most).

If you don't want a very high resolution monitor, go for a 1440. Why? Well, you're going to use your monitor always, so go for the best combo of Hz and resolution (In this case, 1440p 144Hz).

Take in count that G-Sync will increase the price of the monitor for about 200 dollars.

Those are the best two, with and without G-Sync:

Best 1440p 144Hz G-Sync: Acer Predator XB271HU (Overclockable to 165Hz).

1440p 144Hz (Freesync, which is AMD's technology, but cheaper. Won't work on a GTX but that won't matter): Acer XG270HU

Both are on Amazon France.

I have this monitor and like it. There is some backlight bleed on the bottom and top left but not much. There is also this Acer you should look at.

The Xb271hu is on sale for £20 more and is IPS.

£570 from Amazon

https://www.amazon.co.uk/Acer-Predator-XB271HU-screen-Monitor/dp/B017DG09WM

But I imagine you're probably not from the UK

It's most likely a mistake and that 3rd party vendor is selling the TN model, which goes for that price.

Amazon.co.uk has it for ~640 EUR sold directly by Amazon, not some 3rd party vendor. If they ship to your country that is: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B017DG09WM/

Price comparison I use: https://geizhals.eu/acer-predator-xb271hubmiprz-um-hx1ee-005-a1319580.html

Also tomorrow is black friday so you might wanna wait.. :)

This sorta thing? https://www.amazon.co.uk/Acer-Predator-XB271HUbmiprz-ZeroFrame-Adjustable/dp/B017DG09WM/ref=asc_df_B017DG09WM/?tag=googshopuk-21&linkCode=df0&hvadid=231967290463&hvpos=1o2&hvnetw=g&hvrand=10476894249546430531&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=m&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=1007099&hvtargid=pla-388228688135&psc=1&th=1&psc=1

Alright, I'll take you monitor and run with it. The only better alternative I could find is https://www.amazon.co.uk/Acer-Predator-XB271HU-screen-Monitor/dp/B017DG09WM/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1469307428&sr=8-1&keywords=Acer+XB271HU but that reports 4ms rather than 1ms response time from the Rog Swift, but is IPS. Also, I don't feel like spending an extra £90.

The Acer equivalent has less IPS glow but actually has worse colors which is how they reduced the BLB on the Acer:

http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/review/B017DG09WM/R26BTOYV4AN8UI/ref=cm_cr_dp_mb_rvw_1?ie=UTF8&cursor=1

Its a trade off dependent on which you want.

I'm just waiting for the next gen, both the Asus and acer have way too many problems.

Edit: it seems response time isn't such a huge issue. I'll still wait for an improved monitor. The IPS glow and BLB and these units is not what I'd expect from a 800 buck monitor.
