I currently have two 27" monitors but am thinking about replacing both of them for something udpated. I use these for working from home, but also enjoy PC gaming as well and play alot of games. Last year I picked up an Asus VG278H 120Hz and while I love the smoothness and fluidity for gaming, I really hate limitations of TN and color reproduction on it. Since the Asus 120Hz sits directly in front of me and I find it generally lacking in overall image quality of colors and text. I know it will be a transition back to 60Hz gaming but I think I can live with it given the improved picture quality gain of an IPS.
I just started researching and a few IPS 1440p displays stand out such as the ViewSonic VP2770 and possibly the Asus PB278Q. My budget is flexible but I would like to stay around $1,500 for both if possible. I also prefer a matte coating as I am in a fairly bright room. That Viewsonic is definitely on the pricey side so I want to make sure that extra cost is worth it?
I am running an Nvidia GTX 680 so I am not too concerned with powering games at 1440p versus the 1080p I run them at now on my Asus.
My current 27" displays:
1) Asus VG278H (TN, 1080p, 120Hz, dislike the colors and view angles, also prefer higher resolution than 1080p)
2) Dell 2707WFP (S-PVA, 1200p, 60Hz, been a good panel, will be moving this screen to another room)
Any recommendations for what direction I should go is greatly appreciated.
