Yep. +1 for the Asus. Top notch.

Is it better than the Dell IPS 27"? Next upgrade is new GPU but I want to upgrade my 23" Dell IPS monitor

Those new superwide ones from Dell & LG look intriguing (and have dropped more than £100 since release it appears)...

They're a little gimicky, but I'm strangely drawn to them at the new price. Most of gaming is FPS so width would possibly be more beneficial than height?

the response time on them is meant to be really bad, from what i have read/remember or i might join you

you could get 2 27aoc's in budget or 2 23inch dells well in budget

The Asus 1440P monitor does look like a great monitor, if you are an avid gamer though would 120Hz serve you better...?

The problem with two monitors is your 'crosshair' is right between the two monitors

That means three monitors and you're getting into 'domestic arguement' realms there!
