Hello,

I am not happy with my current monitor, the TN panel has worse colors than I thought it was going to be.

I don't think I want to chance one of the korean ones, so which monitors IPS monitors have some of the fastest response time and amazing color?

My specs are as follows.

CAS: Thermaltake Chaser MK-I

CPU: Intel(R) Core™ i7-4820K Quad-Core 3.70 GHz

HDD: 250GB Samsung 840 EVO Series

HDD2: 2TB (2TBx1) SATA-III

MEMORY: 16GB (4GBx4) DDR3/2133MHz Quad Channel Memory (Corsair Vengeance)

MOTHERBOARD: GIGABYTE X79-UP4

POWERSUPPLY: 850 Watts - Corsair RM850 80 PLUS GOLD Certified

VIDEO: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 780 Ti 3GB GDDR5 PCIe 3.0 x16 Video Card (EVGA Superclocked Edition)

Thanks for the help.

if you are looking for best response time and best picture, then this one is great. yes it's a korean monitor, but these ones have a good rep, and any backlight problems are easily self fixable.
The reason these monitors are so good, but still cheap, is that they only have dvi for input and no speakers. This allows for pure interface, and as thus all color changes will have to be made through your computer settings rather than monitor settings.

the asus i linked is a slight step below the PA27q, but really you are paying for that little hood that comes with it.

an ips monitor will never hold a candle to the tn monitors in terms of response time, but the tn will never touch the ips in terms of color quality

it's a tradeoff and you will have to live with one or the other, as you typically won't get the best of both worlds for under a absolutely unrealistic price. also the korean monitors are PLS in most cases, which is similar to IPS

From what ive seen even at the unrealistic price it just doesn't exist. I have a benq XL2420TE and sure I'm rocking out at 144hz, but i load up skyrim or dont starve and I'm like meh...It has no pop.

I've tried multiple calibration settings from a varity of forums but still haven't found anything to make the color like what im used to.

What I think I may end up doing is just keeping the benq for competitive play and going with a good 1440p, just have to make up my mind.

How does that Asus compare to the asus PA279Q?

Thanks for the input, do you know if g-sync is going to be on everything or just TN panels? I may just wait a bit longer and see what kind of gsync 1440p's come out.

G-sync will be on other panel types like in Q4 I believe, if you have the loot get the ROG 27inch which has 1440p/120hz/g-sync and a quality tn for $800 no 3d but I think Asus had to choose what was more important. IPS will be 60hz when it does come out. I'm not expecting anything more innovative than those features down the road but would love to be wrong!
