Hello,
I'm looking to buy new 1440p, 144hz monitor for let's say 40% gaming (MMORPG,MOBA and occasionally AAA,SHOOTERS) and 60% multimedia use.Ips and g-sync are out of the budget (~450-500euro i live in Bulgaria and will buy from shop here).
Right now i'm looking at the two monitors below and since i can't go inperson and test them i'm looking for some advice on which one to buy.Both monitors are at the same price.Also i'm open minded to any suggestions for similar monitors.

1. MSI Optix MAG27CQ - Almost everything i'm looking for but i have some concerns - the curve,ghosting in games,not very bright.

2. ASUS MG278q - No doubt it's perfect for games but with TN panel wont look that good wen watching movies and i don't really like how it looks.


Right now i'm torn and every comment and opinion helps.
 
Any VA panel is going to suffer from SOME ghosting... how bad it is will vary between models, and it also depends how sensitive you are to it. It actually doesn't bother some people.

TN, as you point out, isn't the best choice outside of gaming due to its generally inferior colours and viewing angles. The only thing TN really has going for it is the price and the response time, but you'd have to be a pro gamer to be NEEDING 1ms.

IPS would probably be the best choice, but as you say, it is possibly out of your budget. It may be you have to just make a compromise and determine what is most important to you.
 
Second two are 1080p, he wanted 1440p. First one is decent though... albeit TN, with all the issues that come with that tech. I think I'd personally lean towards the MAG27CQ though... based on reviews ghosting isn't that serious a problem it seems. I wouldn't worry about the curve... you quickly adapt to that and it can even be a positive thing. Does aid immersion slightly.

@TuZa Hey. Did you get this in the end and if so what's your verdict? Would it be OK to have two side by side or would the curve be an issue do you think?

Hey.
I did buy Dell 2719dgf but I didn't like it.700/1 contrast after calibration , 97 sRGB , 73 NTSC and for some reason it was very hard on my eyes.
Now I'm waiting on new Acer IPS monitor.
Sorry I can't help you.
