I have been using Dell U2412m for the 3 last years and i have been pretty satisfied with it. I am buying a new GPU (MSI GTX 970) and I am also looking to move on with the display. I dont think its the right time to buy 4K monitor yet as the performance of my GPU will not be sufficient for 4K so I am looking for 2560x1440 resolution.

1) 27'' 2560x1440
2) Matte - I have been living the past 3 years in a pretty sunny country (Mexico) and I really like the antiglare coating (even though I have read that there are people who hate it).
3) IPS - as I have an IPS monitor already I guess I would go back to TN and I have had use for the viewing angles a lot of times (showing photos, somebody watching me play, etc)
4) The same or preferably lower Input lag and Response time than my current monitor (U2412m)

I do a lot of gaming SC2 (probably the most important for me), Battlefield 4, Warcraft 3, Age of Empires 2 HD, a bit of Quake 3, Alien Isolation (right now), etc. I like to check all my photos here but definitely not on a professional level so no need for calibration nor wide gamut. The rest is web browsing, documents and programming (I have more than enough at work so I almost do not program at home)
I already read a couple of posts on the forum and I guess my strongest candidate would be single input QNIX QX2710 LED Evolution ll [Matte] which should meet all my requirements. I would like to ask a couple of questions:

- Is there anyone who has both of the monitors (Dell and QNIX) to tell me how does the response time compare? (Input lag is a clear win for QNIX as it is single input DVI)

- Are there any other monitors which should I consider as most of the korean monitors are glossy :-( and Overlord Tempest seems to be Sold Out right now.

- Is there anything important for me to now before buying QNIX apart from that it should NOT be "Multi TRUE10" nor "SE" and that I should probably order "perfect pixel" one. Anything to check with the vendor before buying.

You may want to hold off until the Dell U2715H is available, as it may also be a candidate that meats your criteria.
 
My budget points more for the korean monitors as I would not like to spend more than 500$ or 550$. Thank you for the link it provides a lot of useful information. As for the Dell U2715H the problem is the availability as you say and I have no idea about the input lag or response time. The previous 27" from Dell had more input lag than my U2412m.
