Hi can you add a little more detail? What graphics card are you using? What sorts of gamess do you play? Is it only for gaming?

Good thing you asked,

Running a gtx 980. Play a variety of games from dayz to league to gta5.
Gaming mostly.

Thanks again.

I guess you're looking for something like 27 inch 1440p with high refresh rate (where you can get it).

doesn't look like there is a massive choice of . I'd go for the Asus because 75hz. There may be some cheap Korean monitors like suggested here


Edit - fighting with embedding links.
Edit 2 - I give up trying to get a nice link on my mobile to show.

It really depends if you want more pixels like 1440p or if you are fine with 1080p gaming.

I got myself a nice 120 Hz Benq 1080p monitor and I love it. Got it for 150 Euros used and its so nice to have smooth gameplay. I would definitely recommend that route, but I am also more of a FPS guy.

QNIX 27 inch 1440p monitor is great. All you need is a plugadapter from Korean to US. It can also be overclocked to 100hz with no stability issues.

Also one of the most stable panels for gaming I've ever used. Practically 0 screen tearing or skipping compared to every other monitor I've used for gaming. And has VESA mounts on the back.

Only 1 downside is there is only 1 dual link dvi port for it.

Thank you all for your help!!
Looks like i have a decision to make.

The QNIX is pretty nice.

I would recommend getting a VESA mount with it, for height adjustment.
