Here's what I'm currently running: Video card: GTX 690: DVI x2, mini DPx1 (I have the 2 dual link DVI NEC cables & I would need a mini DVI to DVI cable if that would actually work.)
I use my monitors for: gaming, productivity*, video watching
*I do not need wide gamut since I don't do any professional color correction related to video/photos.
I currently am using a single NEC LCD3090wqxi (the 2nd one died; goodnight, sweet prince). I need a better set up & these Korean models look to be ideal. My NECs were 143w each, so anything would be an upgrade from that. My office felt like an oven!
I'm struggling w/ downgrading to 1440p from 1600p. It seems that no korean panels run over 60hz. I was having stuttering w/ 24fps video on my NECs for their entire life. I'd rather run 72/96/120hz.
I've read over a bunch of threads on korean panels, NCX's reviews & his Best 2560x1440 Monitors thread. The more I read, the more I get confused w/ the options.
Would PLS be fine for viewing angles/colors or should I be stick with IPS? If I go IPS, should I go S-IPS or AH-IPS? Am I just splitting hairs or will I notice the quality difference coming from a high end NEC IPS panel, even though mine was not calibrated?
I was thinking of these as options:
IPS: S-IPS vs AH-IPS
1. Perfect Pixel* YAMAKASI Catleap Q270 "2B Extreme OC" 120Hz IPS 2560x1440 Monitor
2. YAMAKASI QH2711 Black Label HDMI AH-IPS 2560x1440 DVI HDMI 27" PC Monitor
PLS
1.Perfect Pixel 27" Slim Qnix QX2710 Evolution II LED PLS 2560x1440 QHD Monitor
I'm really not sure what to get for my needs? Using the NEC as a benchmark, what's a good choice guys?
