Looking for a 1440p 144hz ips 27 inch monitor, what do you recommend?

[nexusafied]

As the name suggests, I am looking for a monitor with all of these:

1440p, IPS, 144hz ,27 inch, under 5ms response rate and under $500!

If anyone can recommend any, that would be amazing!

PS: I found a monitor called the Pixio PX277, is that good?

Look for used Acer XB270HU. Your choices are only Acer or Asus and new ones cost $700.

If you want G-SYNC, I suggest the acer xb270hu. I have it, and it's great. If you want freesync/don't care, go with the Asus MG279Q. They both use the same panel, which is a great one, but they are both over $500. I think they're worth it.

For those speeds and that price you really should consider a TN panel, they aren't all that bad these days.

I'm still looking for a monitor under $500, also, what is the difference between IPS and TN right now?

Also the Pixio one is just under $400 with these specs:

27 inch, 1440p, 144hz, IPS and 4ms response rate.

Is XB270hu better than ASUS PB279Q ?

Or is it better than BENQ XL2730z ?

Is XB270hu better than ASUS PB279Q ?

They are probably about the same. There is an updated Acer, XB271HU. Different body but the one year prior Acer was solid. As for Pixio...never heard of them.

IPS has more accurate color, and much much better viewing angles. TN is slightly cheaper, and slightly faster. I recommend IPS if you can afford it.
