Hi Guys,

I am looking at updating my Graphics and Monitor. I would Ideally like a 27-28" Monitor in the area of 2k res.

I have been looking at:

Monitor : £400 budget
Graphics : MSI GTX 970 - £280

Any recommendations would be very appreciated!

You're options are either 1080p, G-Sync and TN panel:
Acer Predator XB270HA 27" G-Sync 144Hz Gaming Widescreen LED Monitor - Black/Red

Or 1440p, no G-Sync and ISP panel:
BenQ BL2710PT 27" Widescreen LED Professional/Gaming Slim Bezel Flicker FREE Monitor - Black
Iiyama Prolite XB2779QS-B 27" AH-IPS Professional Widescreen LED Monitor - Black

Varys from panel to panel but yes they are inferior for viewing angles and color reproduction by a decent margin . If your not working with IPS or VA on a regular basis or have never used one than you won't know what your missing , having used several LG IPS panels everyday for 2 years , I couldn't look at another monitor for more than 5 mins without feeling like my eye sights failing .
