Help me choose a new monitor please :)

Right , my last monitor , the Asus PG348Q whilst looking stunning on my desk for the last year hasn't been the gaming perfection i was looking for , firstly it's just far too wide for playing fps games and older games (which i play many of) hate the 21:9 aspect ratio and even when tweaked exhibit many issues such as FO4 to name just one.

So i'm going back to a 27" 1440p . Previously i had a Acer XB270HU, which was ok but i found the display quite grainy/dirty to look at and the build quality was quite poor.

What i want is :-

At least 27"
1440p Resolution
G-sync or compatable
144hz or above
Light Ag coating
Good response times (as good or better than the Acer)
Needs to have good image quality.
Will be used in a reasonably dark room
VA or ips , not interested in Tn.

I have looked at everything , and the more i look the more confused i get.

Another alternative would be 32". (though IPSes are MIA in that size)
That would improve gaming immersion with bigger vertical image size while saving desk space.

Are there any you would recommend , i've been looking at the Lg 32 G-sync ?

I have the LG currently and while an excellent display for gaming it is not without its flaws.

Well i pulled the plug on a Asus XG32VQR , i did this based on that i mainly game, i rarly do much else with my Pc these days , any office work i do on my laptop.

Whilst i appreciate that for professional use in depth reviews are helpful , but for purely gaming monitors i'd say that 90% of the micro stats mean nothing to many and just serve to confuse an already saturated market and make choosing a monitor more difficult . I want games to look good , colours to be vivid and good blacks and good response times and low lag.

Whilst i didn't want half the features of this monitor and the aesthetics are questionable it gets generally very positive buyer feedback, so i'll give it a shot and report back !

Good shout I think and will be interested in hearing your thoughts. One thing the LG would benefit from is the curve that the Asus has. Thus helping to mitigate the lesser viewing angles of VA.

Not sure on the implementation of overdrive etc but being an Asus I’d expect it to be just as good.

I still prefer TN/VA over IPS when they are done well especially for gaming. VA is great especially for dark games. No IPS bleed/glow crap to contend with.

Well its arrived

Initial impressions :-

Its HUGE !

Very solid build quality

You can turn off the rgb sillyness

Brightness is high out of the box

G-sync flawless , no flickering , very smooth.

Noticed a little ghosting but with OD turned up to max i didn't notice any , but i'll play with this later

Colours are vivid compared to my last 2 ips screens and really pop, perfect for gaming.

Windows desktop looks sharp and actually better than my old 1440p acer 144

Blacks are BLACK!

No buyers remorse which is a first for me with a monitor.

Viewing angles seem very good but i don't have a habit of playing games viewing my monitor from the side......

I'll spend some more time with it tonight but feel free to ask me anything or to test something
