Cannot find this monitor of mine. Also, it'd be nice if there was light boost and no dead pixels.

All of these have ligthboost or the last one, the z series, has the benq blur reduction which is said to be better than lightboost. So you could get 144hz with it.

Doesn't light boost completely remove motion blur? I was told that, or is that a lie or does BenQ z edition do that as well?

Like I said, if a monitor is worthy I'll buy it. How does this look? Expensive, yes. But it seems to be worth it

All of these techs are backlight strobing to remove motion blur. Lightboost will give worse brightness and color vs newer tech like benq blur reduction or ulmb on that asus monitor. That asus monitor costs more because it's also 1440p with gsync. What res do you want? It's also not out yet so when are you planning on buying a monitor?

The BenQ Z has TN panels which isn't as good as IPS panels I'm told. I also am getting my monitor end of august beginning of September. IPS has more accurate colors and more viewing angles for design and photoshop but TN has less ms time and meant for gaming. Sad thing is, I want to do both of these things, and I can't find a monitor. Here's my exact computer standards. Low ms time, anti motion blur, good colors, 1920x1080 (unless a 2560x1440 is there) and at least 120hz under 550, but I will pay more if it is worth my money.

All of the monitors mentioned so far are tn. The only monitors that are ips and 120hz are the overclocked korean monitors. If you want to fill all your needs, why not go with multiple monitors? That's what artists do even if they don't game, it's for productivity. Personally I'd never get a 27" 1080p, pixels are too big. You want it all but have you ever seen any of it? Can you tell the difference?

Thing is, people tell me 2560x1440 is useless if I'm up close, but some say it's an experience you have to see to know and you can't go back to lower res after high res. I did see some of the Korean models, and they had adapters, but too many were listed as dead pixels which would affect me greatly. I dream too much of a perfect monitor but unless I'm willing to fork up a lot of money, it won't happen. ASUS has achieved everything except for the pricing. 60hz, as I'm told, can lead to tearing without vsync and can look choppy because of its low refresh rate. I think a 770 would have trouble on a 60hz so I'm hoping to aim for at least 120hz which at the moment, is proving to be hard. Pricing, like I did say, 550, but in reality I'm really hoping to spend around 300, which is why it's really hard to find one.

Res alone means nothing about being up close. Size+res does. But you want higher res up close. It means nothing far away. You could have 1440p the same size pixels as 1080p but have much more of your fov filled by the monitor. What monitor do you have now? What issues do you have with it?

Played on a laptop but it broke. Right now I'm using a 31.5 inch 1080p TV as a monitor. It's terrible. When I play an intensive game, all the pixels become distorted and the game itself is blurry but pixels are crystal clear. AKA, explosions, taking damage, etc etc. However, I'm playing on a PS3 until I build my computer next month, aka why I'm getting my monitor next month. I have checked the highest resolution, and it's not 1440p. The pixels are visible during intensive fights, like I have stated and it's just really annoying. I end up not seeing the actual person I'm fighting, but parts of them instead due to the visible pixels.

The laptop most likely had a 60hz screen so did you have any issues with that?

It had a low resolution of 1366x720 I believe. I did have lots of problems considering it was never close to 60 fps, it always averaged 15-20 fps in league of legends and minecraft, 2 fps for Tera. It was annoying.
