Well sure there are varying degrees of professionals and their requirements, but as you said a lot of that depends on their workflow which I think matters more than the pure specs of the monitor itself. At a firm or large company, it's much more important that all the monitors are correctly...

OP wants to edit photos (presumably not on their phone or TV) so OLED isn't an option. I know the ideal monitor doesn't exist yet (it never will), I just thought it was strange to suggest that you'd need to either pick gaming or photo editing capability in a monitor when there are plenty of...

Why not just get the PG279QZ which is good at both? It has excellent color accuracy when calibrated. I know you can get monitors with a broader SRGB/Adobe range but it's really the best of both worlds I think for now.

Great, now they need to build a cloud save backup system.

I think one accidental target demographic of the Switch is the PC gamer who can't justify an Xbox One or PS4, but wants a different experience than what the PC offers from time to time. I thought the Switch looked very silly at first until it had a great reception. I've tried it though and not...

NEED!? For some perspective...The very first 27" 1440P G-Sync IPS came out by Acer just over a year ago. No, the specs aren't perfect. Yes, there are quality control issues. But the fact is that these monitors don't have to exist at all which means you don't have to buy them at all. If you want...

Again, look at the reality. You can't tell me even though you won't accept less than perfect quality in a $400 monitor that you will pay $1k+ for the same specs for absolute perfection. What monitor are you currently using and what do you use it for on a daily basis?

But in reality, you do (give an F), because the margin of return you get from paying 2-3x more isn't going to be worth it - unless your'e doing extremely color critical work. I've come to accept the problems for what they are. It is aggravating if you let it get to you, but unless you NEED a...

At the right size screen and at the right viewing distance/angle, curved screens remove distortion, they don't create it. Curved TVs are useless to anyone except someone sitting at the optimal distance and in the center. Curved monitors are useful to one person sitting at the optimal distance in...

~$250 and I'd budge. I'm not paying $400 (XB240H) for a 24" TN panel even if it knows how to dance. I'd pay $400 if it were IPS though.

Yeah, but the price disparity and response times are off putting. I mean I don't know in what world a $500 monitor is cheap. People just buy it up and don't complain and nothing ever changes.

Get the cheapest thing you can find for whatever size you want. And I'm not being facetious, I just don't think there's any reason to overpay for a single-use display (especially console gaming). Literally any 32" TV would be more than adequate for console gaming. Otherwise I'd go with the...

What I meant is that if you're going to buy crappy LCD tech then you might as well find the cheapest thing possible since they're all going to have issues. Will be giving the EIZO a try, but then the question is, "is a 27" 1440P monitor ever worth $800-900"? I assume that's what the pricing will...

I don't disagree. There comes a point where you just have to settle and be happy with what there is. The obvious solution is to stop buying monitors until companies do better but this really isn't a realistic scenario. Buying the QNIX or buying some cheap/cheaper 22-24" IPS seems to be about the...

That EIZO could be the ticket. I actually prefer the design of it too. No online store has any product info though? No preorder?

Damn! It's so frustrating because what are the other options? The Dell has the best design IMO. The next closest monitor is the Asus PB278Q - but I wonder if it will really be any better. I do gaming and light photo and productivity work so the U2715H was in theory the best choice for me. I'm...

No longer available.

I hope you're not serious.

No longer available.

I thought it was bad as it was the first thing I noticed when powering it up for the first time. Never noticed it that bad on my Thunderbolt display or AOC 27". I just found a black screen on Chrome and made it full screen.

What about IPS glow? Is this acceptable? Me thinks not. Also, it's nearly as bad even in a lit room. It shows up during normal web browsing use on dark pages.

Is it possible to try another monitor with an HDMI cable? If that monitor works, I mean it pretty much has to be the Dell.

Yeah the Acer's QC issues, the bad AG, glossy bezel, and overall cheap build quality quickly deterred me from taking a chance, so I can't say I blame you on the PG278Q purchase. My personal choice to tide me over was the Dell U2715H (I wanted IPS and 27" 1440p for sure). Once IPS gaming monitors...

No, I read the links (what little I could). And I know you wasn't comparing it to the Dell, I was responding to the post above you. It possibly is overpriced (depends on who you ask and what the person's needs are). For me, absolutely. For OP, it sounds like a contender since he wants the best...

Can't argue with most of that, but the response time is only 4ms. Still definitely better than the Dell for gaming, considering the 144hz refresh. The Dell is on sale for $700 @ Adorama with a coupon code (check Slickdeals). I'd agree that the Dell is the overall better package. But, at the...

Ohh... I meant, "wow, you replaced both potential culprits and STILL having issues?" Haha. It would be hard to imagine Windows or the motherboard to be an issue when the other monitor works fine. A Google search yields multiple people with "power save mode" issues, so I guess it could still be...

Ehh might want to reword that then. That reads that you are on both your second U2715 and 970. Maybe try another 970 then? At this point it's either the card, motherboard, or some weird software glitch (unlikely).

Not only two monitors, but two GPU's? Dang...I have the same setup - works fine. Best of luck.

I don't think a larger, less responsive monitor is going to improve your "game", which is the reason most people play CS:GO (certainly not for the visuals). So, I would allocate that money to something more worthwhile if you can find a use. The argument for 21:9 is a mixed bag in general. Yes...
