Help me choose - 27" 2K 144Hz G-Sync Gaming Monitor

Hi All

Keeping an eye out for the new 11 series Nvidia cards hopefully being released soon; I'm looking to upgrade my monitor to take advantage of 144hz @ 1440p.

I've short listed the following from the research I've already done:
ASUS ROG Swift
Acer Predator XB271HU
Dell S2716DG

I know the Dell isn't IPS, but I've read/ heard good things and considering the price difference wondered if its worth a punt?

What do you guys think?

Cheers!

You might want to check out the LG 32GK850G if you can go that bit bigger. Just got one myself and very pleasantly surprised by it. Coming from IPS I have not noticed a massive difference in vibrancy, and in gaming it's very smooth. Virtually every IPS panel will suffer from bleed, so keep that in mind. Some are atrociously bad.

Yeah I've had IPS monitors in the past with really bad bleed. Although, I've read these monitors dont suffer with it too badly. I'm actually leaning towards to Dell at the moment for this very reason...

I'm currently leaning towards the Dell monitor myself for the following reasons:

• Doesn't suffer from backlight bleed like IPS will/ does
• Dell customer service is highly rated
• Colour accuracy is very good, comparable to IPS
• Dell build quality is very good
• Cheaper by quite a margin compared with the other competition!

Does anyone own the Dell S2716DG who could add their 2p worth to this thread?
