Best 1440p 144hz monitor

[Dz1on1s]

Hello,
I want to buy a 1440p 144+hz monitor with the least chance to get blb and ips glow.
Looking for ips monitor. (streaming /gaming/working)

Please help.

So basically a TN?

To my knowledge there's only 1 IPS panel that supports 1440p 144Hz
And this panel is used by Asus, Aoc & Acer.
Since it's the same panel there's no likelihood of the Acer having less issues that the Asus as they're literally made in the same factory.

The exception being the Eizo Foris FS2735. Still uses the same AU Optronics panel but it seems their quality control has a higher standard.
But it's like 1000$ for a freesync screen.

IPS Glow is a "feature" of IPS screens ... no panel escapes it but some do much better than others:

For IPS 144 Hz, you have The Acer Predator XB270HU and the Asus equivalent
For IPS 165 Hz, you have the Acer Predator XB271HU and the Asus equivalent PG279Q

For TN 144 HZ, you have the Asus PG278Q ... There's also Freesync models and some other brands (Dell, Viewsonic, AOC) not worth mentioning

HB270HU

I prefer the XB271HU, which to my eyes has best incorporated the panel's features and has lower lag time... Asus has the better frame / stand. The XB271HU was running about $700 for the last 2 years, but now up around $750, the PG279Q runs about $25 cheaper

Would you use 1440p 144hz +ips for gaming/streaming/work and one 1080p 60hz ips simple monitor
or
one 1080 144hz tn monitor for gaming /streaming and another 1440p 60hz for work?

Can`t decide. :/

 

[Isokolon]

really depends on your total budget, your work and what kind of games you're playing

 

[Dz1on1s]

for monitor(s) <=800euro. (GPU 1080TI , CPU i7-7700k.)
Games AAA games , streaming//gaming overwatch.
Work = Unity , 3dmax.

I would not use two monitors. I'd use one 165 Hz IPS monitor for both. All of our office boxes are used my myself, employees and family as gaming boxes.

be advised that *IPS* doesn't mean the monitor is good.... it means it is capable of being good when a) a quality IPS panel is used and the rest of the componentry is up to the task. Cheaper IPS panels are pretty crappy and ,most are unsuitable for gaming. It takes a very special and expensive IPS panel to be suitable for gaming.

If using two monitors as you described, I'd get the Acer Predator for my main screen connected to discrete GFX card and then buy a cheap TN panel and connect it to the MoBo (IGP)

 

[Dz1on1s]

What is IGP? Acer predators are out of stock in my country. Do you know any better/similar monitor? I was watching Asus ROG PG279Q. Any recommendations?

 

[Isokolon]

IGP = Integraded Graphics Processor. it's the graphics of your CPU

as said, there's only ONE panel all the companies use in their 144Hz/1440p IPS monitors
ASUS & Acer generally got better quality control than AOC

 

[Dz1on1s]

Asus MG279Q 27.0" 2560x1440 144Hz Monitor maybe this one is better? 220euro cheaper than PG , without g-sync. People say that g-sync is not worth 200 euro. What do you think?

 

[Isokolon]

it's again the same screen just without the G-Sync panel
it's a nice screen but with the same problems
also freesync doesn't have a range to 144Hz on that screen I think

After researching the last 3 days, I ordered the viewsonic xg2703-gs. Having the same panel as the Asus and Acer, but with better support, probably better QC, and a lot better reviews that I have read, and being $100 cheaper, I decided it was the one to get. You may want to consider it too.

No it isn't.

a) That's Freesync Monitor
b) No ULMB w/ Freesync
c) Slower response and lag times

Yes, I listed them in original post.

As of yet you haven't listed your GFX card which is a big thing...

G-Syn and ULMB work on nVidia cards, suggested to use G-Sync from 30 - 70 fps / ULMB frpm 60 fps - 120 fps)

Freesync works on AMD cards from 40 fps and up, unless provided independently by Monitor manufacturer, no Motion Blur reduction technology

So it's not a matter of choosing what is better, unless you haven't bought your cards yet ... If you have your card(s), the decision has been made for you.



Acer XB270HU has the 27" WS AU Optronics AHVA (M270DAN02.3)
Acer XB271HU lists 27" WS AU Optronics AHVA (can't confirm panel)
Asus PG279Q lists 27" WS AU Optronics AHVA (M270Q008 V0)

Viewsonic XG2703-GS lists AU Optronics M270DAN02.3 (same as 144 hz Acer)

I canceled this till I decide which one is better to get. It maybe the ACER.

[JackNaylorPE]

Thanks.... looks like the XB271HU has the latest panel. Odd tho that the Viewsonic is listed at 165 Hz and yet has the older 144 Hz panel. Wonder how that was accomplished.

Thanks for the link.

 

[Isokolon]

the XB271HU as 100% the same panel as the PG279Q
and those two panels are, like the Viewsonic, 144Hz panels that are being factory OC to 165Hz

If they were exactly the same they all wouldn't have 3 different AU Model Numbers

Acer XB270HU 144 hz listed as using M270DAN02.3
Acer XB271HU 165 Hz listed as using M270DAN02.6
Asus PG279Q 165 hz listed as using M270Q008 V0

The Viewsonic and The Acer XB270HU are the same, the others are not.

The M270DAN02.6 can do 120 hz under ULMB, the M270DAN02.3 can not

The Asus clearly does not have the same panel:

http://www.tftcentral.co.uk/reviews/asus_rog_swift_pg279q.htm#panel

The Asus ROG Swift PG279Q features an AU Optronics M270Q008 V0 AHVA (IPS-type) panel which is capable of producing 16.7 million colours with a true 8-bit colour depth. This is a new panel that we've not seen in any screen before. Early reports and some other reviews have wrongly stated that the screen is using the same M270DAN02.3 panel as the similarly spec'd Acer XB270HU and Asus MG279Q. That isn't right though, and isn't really logical given that this is a new borderless / frameless style panel as well. We expect to see this new panel used in the forthcoming Acer XB271HU when that's released too.

 

[Isokolon]

sorry you're absolutely right. Guess I'm remembering something wrong there.

edit: or have outdated information

 

[JackNaylorPE]

When two peeps disagree I always like to say. "Neither of us is wrong, one of us has been misinformed."

My guess is you were misinformed by one of the articles referenced in TFTs review.

"other reviews have wrongly stated that the screen is using the same M270DAN02.3 "

I have asus strix gtx 1080 TI + i7-7700k . I know everything I need to know about monitors BUT never have I used G-SYNC . Maybe you have some experience? My GPU should hit 70+ fps in most games at 1440p. Do I need G-sync? Thinking about pg279q vs mg279q.
