Which 27" 2560 x 1440 Monitor? (Need 3)

[Fun Guy]

I've decided that three Dell U3014s are just too rich for my blood. Therefore, I am getting rid of the one I just bought (was going to get two more), and getting three 27" monitors.

The only thing I am losing is 160 pixels vertically (the Dell is 2560 x 1600), which I doubt I will never miss.

So here are the five I am looking at right now. Does anyone have experience with any of these? Here are all seven I am considering. Should I be looking at others besides these?

I would recommend one with 144Hz refresh rate, such as these: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produ...And&SrchInDesc=2560 X 1440&Page=1&PageSize=90

What GPU/GPUs you have or are planning to get?
What are you going to do with those displays? Productivity, gaming?

For gaming I would grab something with adaptive sync. There are great freesync displays at really nice prices.

like Erenhardt said, depends on what your use is.

Yeah, sorry. I am a PhD student, so I will have lots of documents open at the same time (two in each monitor, six documents in all).

Will not be used for gaming!! 🙂

No gaming, just buy the cheapest IPS screens you can find. No need for fast refresh or anything for viewing documents.

I'd lean towards the BenQ or the LG that you listed. Probably the BenQ because it hits all the marks - inexpensive, IPS (for color accuracy), and decent other specs.

I've used quite a few Acer and ASUS products and I find the QC to be... lacking.

The ONLY think I don't like about the BenQ is the damn glossy bezel, which is actually a big deal to me.

I can't believe anyone ever thought glossy bezels were a good idea.

Look for something that can be re-arranged, you may want to tilt the display to vertical position to read long documents with lots of tables, drawings.
