I will be buying the gtx 780 Ti and need a new monitor. I'm looking for a good color monitor for non game play/DECENT game play. I don't do any photo editing. Later on, I will shell out $300+ for a good gaming monitor. For now, my budget is $215

Quality of the picture is key for me. Colors. I hope 60hz will be tolerable when playing fps games like Crysis, BF4 or COD. I like other games too but, mostly into fps....I think. Never built a high end gaming pc before. I'm done with the Playstation poop.

Asus VS239H-P $160
Dell S2340L $178

OR

Dell U2412M for $284 (if you guys think it's really worth it)
Other suggestions?

Is it true that switching from 1440 to 1080 on a 1440 native resolution monitor will make the picture not look as good?

I would love a 1440 display. I was looking at these and drooling. I want to buy a 1440 but don't want to do it with one 780 ti. I would perfer doing an sli setup before going with a 1440. I want the chance to pretty much max out games in 1080

One GTX 780 is enough for 2560 1440 monitor (one monitor)
No need for SLI! Two 760's can do good job with bigger resolution.

I got the korean monitor too. FFS check the customs for DHL in your country, because i had to pay 90$ for it seperately. The monitor is really great though. Go for 27" if you planning on 1440p gaming.

+1 for this. You can even overclock the refresh rate to over 100Hz on the QNIX.

The only reason it looks "bad", is simply because the number of pixels in a digital screen is fixed (unlike on CRTs, which would work their "magic" which I won't go into, snooze fest), so displaying 1080p resolution on a 1440p monitor, the display will have to stretch out the 1080p pixels so they scale up to 1440p size, so everything looks a bit blurrier, edges are jaggier (and need more AA anyway), and it's just not worth spending money on a 1440p monitor only to play at 1080p. The best thing to do would get a 1080p monitor, and do something called "downsampling", where the game is rendered at 1440p, but still displaying within the confines of a 1080p signal (this is very, very sexy and games can look amazing downsampled, hell I downsample Dark Souls in 4K and it just looks really damn nice).

Regarding the monitors you have there, the Asus one is pretty nice, it'll look pretty good, although I'm always concerned about backlight bleed on the cheaper Asus monitors (or any of them, really), so there may be some whiter patches around the edges.

The Dell S2340L will be glorious, Dell monitors are pretty damn slick in their own right, but this one is a glossy monitor, so colours will just look fabulous. Although the glossy-ness is personal preference, and some people don't have the luxury is placing their lighting in the right position so not to get insane reflections.

Those two monitors also essentially have fixed stands, so you can't adjust height or roll them at all, just a thought.

The Dell U2412M is one of my favorite monitors in recent times (nerd alert). Not only is the actual screen fantastic in it's own right, the build quality, stand quality, colour and general picture quality are all brilliant, not to mention it's got a 16:10 resolution ratio as well, so you get that extra height which is always quite understated as a feature, you just get a wee bit more room to play around with, personally I prefer 16:10 monitors but such is the way that monitors are going these days, ah well.

While searching that resolution with crysis 3 people are reporting an average of 30-40 fps Is that quite playable at that range?

Crysis plays decently on low fps 30-40 is fine... but if ur going to play online, multiplayer, then u need more fps.... GTX 760 can play most games above 30fps on 1440p without much issues or issues at all.
