Currently I'm running a 1080p 144hz TN panel and a 1080p 60hz IPS panel side-by-side (one for photo work, one for gaming) and I've simply decided I like the IPS better. I don't play a ton of FPS, and not at all competitively, so the color reproduction is of higher value to me.
So I've decided to replace the TN monitor with an IPS monitor, and now that I'm looking people seem to be insisting I go with 1440p (particularly because of the size of the monitor, I think) rather than 1080p. While this may seem like a no-brainer to you, I have a couple of hang-ups: One being simply that there isn't a wide range of options here, with American and Japanese brands commanding fairly high prices and Korean brands boasting lower prices but fewer options for things like HDMI (and I will be hooking my consoles to this monitor as well) and swivels (I like to put the screen in portrait mode for photo editing), so I feel like it'd be best to wait for the market to grow a little in that area. That said, people are insisting that I'll be able to tell a huge difference moving to a 27" monitor and staying at 1080p.
For the money I could save I'd like to invest in something else, like new speakers or a better office chair, but if moving up to 1440p is a must, then I'll do it. Thoughts?
(also I'm using this for gaming just about as much as photo editing)
