Monitor to match up to a 1080Ti

I had a crazy moment a few months back and got myself a new system with a 1080Ti in it - and it occurs to me that this is perhaps a bit wasted connected to my 1920x1080 60Hz 24" monitor.

If I wanted to upgrade my monitor, what should I be looking at which will better use the capabilities of my card without overtaxing it, and give the most perceived improvement?

I'm baffled by whether greater refresh rate, greater resolution, G-sync, is the most important consideration.

If resolution - I think I've read that even a 1080Ti might struggle with 4k, so should I be aiming for 1440p?

I wouldn't mind a bigger monitor, but it's got to fit on the desk, so maybe 27" would be the limit.
 
Thanks. I see that combines quite a few of the possible improvements - G sync, 1440p, high refresh rate.

Is it quite unusual to see a computer monitor with speakers, or am I just behind the times?
 
Hi guys. Sorry to resurrect a topic, but I got great advice back in January - but ended up not able to buy back then.

Back in a position to buy - so does the same advice apply? These IPS 165Hz panels are still the ones to go for?

I see the Asus is now £200 more than the Acer at OC - but the former doesn't state that it has a pixel guarantee, and I'm reading that this is important because these panels are prone to arriving with issues.

But do distance selling regulations mean that I could keep returning until I got a perfect panel anyway, regardless of whether they specifically tell me that's the case?
 
I think a 32" might be a bit much, I only sit 2-3 foot from the screen. (and it's in the corner of the lounge. I might get complaints if it was only one size down from the TV!)

Tempting though! VA screen gives you better blacks, but not quite as good colours and response rate, right?
