I generally answer questions on these forums rather than ask them, but for all my research I am having trouble deciding on a new monitor for my games PC.
These are the three I am currently considering:
Asus VG278HE
BenQ XL2720T
Asus PB278Q
The PB278Q (PLS panel) offers 2560x1440 resolution and better colour reproduction, but slower response time leading to motion blur.
The other two are 120Hz or 144Hz refresh rates, lower response time and reduced motion blur.
All seem to have similar input lag and flickering. Calibrated contrast and colour are reasonable.
I'm particularly after people's personal experience with any of these three monitors, or other 27" monitors they would suggest for gaming.
I have a GTX 770 graphics card, so I am concerned about some games not being able to run at 2560x1440. I'm prepared to turn down anti-aliasing and other effects but want to at least keep high detail textures and the native resolution of the display. With the PB278Q I am also concerned about motion blur. For all of that though, I wonder if the improved image quality at this resolution will be more beneficial than the 120Hz+ monitors.
Edit: One last point, I don't see much appeal in stereoscopic 3D. I also can't imagine using Lightboost to reduce image blur at the expense of image quality and flickering. The 120Hz or 144Hz monitors are only of interest to me for smoother motion and reduced motion blur.
