LG IPS? PDC Coating (almost true glossy)!? 27" 1440p!? OMG, it's ALMOST perfect.
Update this with FreeSync support (40-60 range is fine, 35-75 preferred) and I'll buy two!

MedionThey just announced one with 30-144hz freesync range due out in q1 2017 with msrp ~450. No official name yet so it's track updates.
Thought this listing was it for a second.

ryan92084Totally different.
The one I'm gushing over is an LG IPS panel with a glossy coat. The one you're talking about is an AU Optronics AHVA panel (claimed as IPS-like or IPS-technology)with a matte coat.

MedionAh, true.  Sadly though if you are looking for 27" 1440p IPS with free/gsync that's the only panel around.  The other makers have moved onto 4k it seems.

ryan92084Yup. I ended up awhile back getting the LG 27UD68-P, a 4k, 60hz FreeSync display. My main concern was how bad 1080/1440p would look for more demanding games, but the high DPI means that scaling is VERY hard to find. I cloned it with an Apple Cinema Display at 1440p and struggled to find the difference without putting my face up against it.
So 4k really is the ideal right now. I run older titles at 4k, and modern titles at 1440p. There will be some titles that need to run at 1080p, but by the time I get those games I'll likely be on my next GPU. I'm usually 2-3 years behind on games. I'm fairly disciplined about not adding games to the backlog during Steam sales until I've cleared a certain amount.
