Am I waiting for a ship that will never come in?

I've been in the market for a new monitor for a while now. But what I'm looking for seems to be a unicorn.

I currently have a ~6 year old Asus LCD monitor (VW246H). I'm running a 4790k with a heavily overclocked 970 video card, so I'd like to stay 1080p. (From what I understand my system would have difficulty with 1440p)

What I'm after and have been completely unable to find is this:
1080p
IPS
144hz
Gsync
24"

Have any of you heard if someone is planning on manufacturing a monitor with these specs? It's basically a 24" ROG. Every monitor currently available for sale is some compromise on the above specs. Should I abandon hope? Could my system push a 27" @ 1440p or would my framerates suck? I play Witcher 3, Fallout 4, rocket league etc.

Your choices right now are Tn 1080p gsync, or 1440p Ips/Tn gsync and downscale or turn down some graphics in games you can't run at 60+fps for now.
One day you will surely buy a new graphics card and be able to push 1440p though. So think forward. Also freesync is about to be everywhere and an option as well as cheaper.
Viewsonic are about to release a bunch of said panels. Honestly i would wait to see what is coming. The ips panels out right now are a crap shoot in quality control. Maybe next product cycle some better options will arrive, or some new panels will be announced. Then there's the fact that Oled is coming, sooner than later. In my mind any big purchase is on hold until that new Dell 30" Oled is actually released and we can see what it can do. If it's 120Hz and has 1ms input lag as rumored, barring any major glaring issues lcds are on their death bed. And as soon as the prices drop on them, you will be able to pick up a gsync ips off ebay for dirt as people dump them like last nights dinner.

A GTX 970 has the brawn for 1440p. You just have to be prepared to tweak settings as ultra presets often have settings that hog for not a lot of benefit.

Alternatively Asus is working on a new 1080p 144hz TN monitor with G-Sync, maybe they will use the good 100% srgb panel that the LG 24GM77 uses.

In a review that I have looked at the LG 24GM77 doesn't have a 100% sRGB coverage It has an 8 bit yes but it does not fully reach 100% sRGB coverage. I had a GW2470H AMVA panel, now returned, which only got to 95.5 to 96.7% sRGB coverage and I noticed that it also had a higher gamut volume than the LG24GM77 with 110% compared with around 105%.

24" is quickly becoming a repository for budget panels. TN and even IPS panels that size are now all (as far as I've seen) 6-bit + FRC, with only VA retaining true 8-bit. With many budget panels selling for $99, it's hard for an OEM to make a 24", 8-bit, high hertz, adaptive sync display as it would likely run closer to $500 or more. At that point, users are saying, why not spend an additional $100 for 27" and 1440p?

Any idea the timeframe for the OLED stuff? I've seen a few of the televisions while cruising around Best Buy and holy moly they look absolutely amazing.

Dell has a 30" 4K OLED monitor coming out next month, $5000 though. It's supposed to be 120Hz also.

24" 1080p displays don't seem to be considered "premium" any more, so I'm not sure that we're likely to see any gaming-grade IPS panels produced in that size.

What I'm hoping is that the display manufacturers will realize that they can use a 4K panel, but drive it with a 1080p input using 2x scaling for gaming.
Then you get 4K60 for the desktop and/or games where the framerate is less important, and 1080p120 or even 1080p240 for high-speed, low-latency gaming.

I can't understand why no-one has done that yet. You'd think that at least one of them would have figured this out, and then everyone else would start copying them with the next round of displays.

You and me both. Ideally, I'd want a 4k display around 27", VA panel, with integer scaling, and FreeSync (at least 30-60hz range, would settle for 40-60). I could run the desktop and demanding games at 1080p (don't like 4k desktop scaling at that size), and older titles at 4k. Pretty much what I'm doing now, but real 4k instead of 4x DSR on a 1080p panel, and of course FreeSync.

But I doubt I'll get that in a VA panel as everyone seems to be moving to IPS, or TN for budgets, squeezing VA from both sides. So if BenQ made a successor to the EW2750ZL, but with FreeSync, I'd settle for that. I'm actually impressed with how 4k looks via DSR on the 2750ZL already, and FreeSync would be icing on the cake.

Just thought I'd chime in and say that if that was released, I'd totally buy it on the spot.

I'm still waiting on this too! You find anything somewhat similar? I'm getting very very desperate and old.

Smaller LCDs with all the performance and goodies. They sit right next to the small light-weight cc motorcycles with all the performance and goodies.

You may be able to get okay framerates if you do enough tweaking at 1440p, but even then in a lot of games you will barely be getting 60FPS, which kind of defeats the purpose of getting a 144hz monitor in the first place.
