Hey all! I am looking to buy a 27"-32" 1440p monitor with at least 2560 x 1440 resolution. Here are the questions I am encouraged to answer per the sticky thread:

1. What Is Your Country Of Origin?
USA

2. What do you plan to do with this monitor? (ex. Games, Movie Watching, Photo Editing, etc.)
Games, movie watching

3. What resolution and screen size do you want?
At least 2560 x 1440 resolution and screen size of 27 - 32 in.

4. What refresh rate do you want? (ex. 60 hz , 70 hz.)
The higher the better?

5. How much are you looking to spend?
Around $500.00

6. Brands Preferred (ex. Samsung, Acer, Asus, AOC, HP, Viewsonic, etc. )
I'm not a fanboy of any brand; just want high quality and reliability. Aesthetics are a minimal
factor

7. Brands Not Preferred (state reason why)
N/A

8. Are You Buying More Than One Monitor?
No

9. How Many Displays Can Your GPU Support Maximum? And what GPU and driver version are you using if applicable?
I'm not sure. I have two ATI R9 280 (3gb each) crossfired.

10. What Port Do You Want To Connect To (ex. DVI-D, HDMI, etc).
Whichever is best at providing me with 1440p

11. Is This Monitor A Primary Display Or A Secondary Display?
Primary display. I will likely be using my old monitor as a secondary display.

12. Is This A Secondary Display For A Laptop?
No


I look forward to all of the informative replies! Happy Friday!

Thank you for the response. That Acer monitor is looking about right for my price range. How does it compare to the HP Envy 32" QHD Monitor? Similar price, but I am unsure of the quality difference.
