I posted a little while ago about getting a new gpu/monitor, and came to the conclusion that I will wait on getting a new GPU till after the new Nvdia 900 series drops and look for any good deals during the holidays.

I'm looking to get a new monitor. Budget: around $800. I'm looking for a 27" - 32" that I will wall mount on a full motion long arm mount. I was thinking either 2650x1440 or 2650x1600. 120hz would be nice, but I haven't seen any out there at those resolutions. I play all types of games (strategy/RPG/FPS) and I really enjoy playing on high/ultra settings, but I also like having a smooth experience as well. I currently have a 32" Samsung 1920x1080p 120Hz TV which I use, but I feel like there is a lot of input lag when playing games like CS:GO and tearing for RPG games.

So I found some potential monitors (TN, IPS, etc.), below, but would like to hear what else is good too.

What I found so far:

1. ASUS PB278Q
2. ASUS PG278Q
3. BenQ BL3200PT
4. Samsung S32D850T

Current System:
- Intel i7-3770k
- Sapphire Vapor-X Radeon HD 7970 Ghz Edition 3GB 384-Bit GDDR5
- 180GB Intel SSD
- MSI 277A-G41
- 16GB G.Skill Ripjaws X Series
- Soundblaster X-Fi Titanium HD
- 32" Samsung 1920x1080p 120Hz TV
- 5.1 Onkyo Surround Sound System

From what I've heard, the PG278Q is the best gaming monitor hands down. Although you wont benefit from GSync unless you have an nVidia card.

That's the main thing holding me back from going for the PG278Q. I would have to switch my AMD and get either a 780ti or 900 series. A lot of people say that the picture/color quality is weaker on TN panels, is it that noticeable?
