Have Dell U2413, want another monitor (gaming?)

[TridenT]

Alright, just shelled out $650 for a 980 Ti yesterday. Now I'm on the hunt for a monitor. Now, I could just get a U2415 when it goes on sale ($250) and be okay with it. I'd miss out on some stuff but I'd be back to dual monitors at least and both would be the same resolution (that's nice). It would still be good for photography work and productivity. However, I did want to try something that was good for gaming since I already have a U2413 (and an i1 display pro to calibrate it (although I never use the thing because the software is TERRIBLE)).

Thoughts? I was eyeballing the new ASUS Swift PG279Q but it's $800 (huge step up in price) and I've never seen a g-sync or freesync monitor in person. (I don't think I've ever really seen a high refresh rate monitor in person either?) However, I'm interested and considering it. Clearly g-sync is the way to go if I go this route.

GAH! I don't know if I want to shell out 800 smackeroos for a 27" LCD!

I'm considering just going with a plain high-quality IPS/TN monitor. Thinking another 24" 16:10 1920x1200. Dell U2415 is nice but I hear people are complaining about it (high price for what it offers, apparently? I'd prefer it over the 2415H though because of the ability to do more accurate calibration since I have a i1 display pro). I'd also not mind a monitor without IPS glow and good head-on 1-3ft away viewing angles.
