My budget would be $600 for a monitor like the Acer XB270HU. Strictly speaking I don't need 2560x1440 for my gaming display, especially since I stream games with Steam to my TV and that's 1080p. Also driving 2560x1440 at a good frame rate and highest quality settings isn't always possible with a single high end GPU either, though I think G-Sync will help offset that. I do wish there was a $400 1920x1080 120Hz IPS option with G-Sync, but nobody makes something like that.

natefariousOops, I called the XB270HU an Asus in my last post. You're correct. The only two IPS monitors regardless of resolution are the Acer XB270HU and Asus ROG Swift PG27AQ. So if IPS is an absolute must, go for the cheaper and/or lower resolution of the two (the Acer XB270HU).

natefarious@natefarious you really should give the ROG Swift more credit. It really is one of the best TN based monitors out there. Go look at some reviews on YouTube or Vessel, LinusTechTips did one, Pauls Hardware, PCPer, and Tek Syndicate also have them and all of them pretty much say, out of any TN panel it's the best. I'm a fan of the BenQ XL2420G, as it actually is kinda what you're looking for although it is TN. It's 1920x1080, 1ms response time, 24 inch, 144Hz, has G Sync, AND is just under $600. I know you seem pretty set on not liking TN panels and that's fine, but same story with the ROG Swift, it's not just any normal TN panel and works great actually!

Zelgiusthebravegreat so its the dwarf among midgets. Its still crap. And obviously you haven't checked owners threads, these things are riddled with issues. Light bleed,death, dead pixels, artifacting.
