Any affordable IPS GSync 1440p screens?

Seems that the only options are IPS FREESYNC which is no good for my 980ti. The dell £500 TN panel looks good but for £500 I'd like an IPS monitor.

What's out there that is either well under £500 and TN, but still GSync and 1440p, or around £500 but IPS 1440p GSync?

Same boat as you looking at new monitors, would like to really go IPS 1440p. Only monitor I see getting constant good reviews is the DELL TN though :/

Yeah I know what you mean. That, along and the ROG Swift, looks epic, but for £500 I'd want better viewing angles. Realistically, I don't know how much I'd notice it but you never know. I currently use a cheap LG 32" TV, which has been great for the years I've had it, but now I want something with smaller bezels and I think GSync would be really nice to have so I could stop being limited to 60FPS. I've tried "overclocking" the refresh rate and had success on the GTX670s, but it won't work with the 980Ti for some reason. Leaving 1080p isn't essential, but 1080p on 32" is starting to look old and pixelly, especially when only two feet away..

Dell S2716DG is TN 1440p and GSync, but not without issues... colour shift being inevitable at 27" TN and also pixel inversion. IPS G-Sync, closest you'll get is the Acer Predator XB271HU at £600, but I personally wouldn't touch it due to the panel being notorious for bleed, glow, QC issues and white uniformity.

It's a bit of a sucky time to be looking for a 1440p G-Sync monitor in that price range.

Yeah, going by the current choices, I guessed that was the case. I wonder if/when prices will drop. I could be tempted by a used ROG Swift from MM, but am a bit nervous forking out £400 for a used item with a warranty by proxy.

If you don't feel confident about second hand, I think it'll be a case of waiting to see what new monitors crop up this year... few interesting ones on the horizon, but nothing immediately imminent. There's also B-grade of course... bit of a lottery but you can get some real bargains on there and by no means are they duff products, can sometimes just be box damage or something so minor that the saving more than compensates for it. In many cases you can still get warranty from manufacturer also, so the 90-day thing isn't necessarily an issue, as that's just through OCUK.

Yeah. I mean I've spent hundreds over the years buying used RC heli stuff via another forum, but it's a much smaller community where most people know everyone. There's more chance of issues on a larger forum, but then I guess that that's what the trust system is for.

With regards to B Grade, sadly there's nothing there except for a few 24" 1080P or 4k screens, neither of which are of insterest.

I'll keep an eye out mate, cheers!

I'll also keep an eye on 21:9 screens. GSync isn't vital, but it would be really nice to leave behind the old 60hz/Vsync tech...

Still perusing the shops, hoping to spot a bargain. Trouble is, I want 1440p. I want GSync. I want super wide. I want curved. I can't spend £700+...

I mainly play Mass Effect trilogy, and I'm getting back into Falcon BMS, which is a jet sim. My boss has just bought an Acer Predator 35" curved and it's lush. IT as £650 though, so I'm wondering which features I could do without. So far, I'm thinking that GSync isn't worth it. To run any title at 1440p+ at 144hz etc is going to need more than a single 980Ti.

Then, the problem with 21:9 is games like Mass Effect don't work with it well.

So, what is the tech to go for currently? What would you get for up to £600?
