I have been looking at the following:

Acer Predator x34,
Acer Z35
Asus ROG Swift PG278Q
Dell 27 S2716DG
BenQ Xl2720z
asus PG348Q

I currently own the Samsung 28″ 4k U28E590D (which is great btw

Im planning on upgrading my monitor for a high refresh rate one and keep it for at least 5 years.

Considering that I live in Brazil and we do not have the asus pg279q. the price of Predator x34 is the same as the z35 and asus PG348Q And the Rog Swift is cheaper than both but same price as BenQ Xl2720z. (25% cheaper), Dell 27 S2716dg is the cheapest one here.

I use my computer most of the time for gaming. (FPS, MMO, Action, all games)
My GPU is GTX 970 G1 Gaming and Im not planning on buying a new one for this year.

If you have another monitor to mention, please feel free biggrin.gif
Which one should I pick and why?
 
You can get a good 2560x1440 screen now and be able to run most games at 40-50 fps with your 970 GPU, if you decide to upgrade the GPU next year those fps numbers will shoot up markedly.
Or you can get the x34a/PG348Q but you will have to put up with rubbish fps until you upgrade next year and when you do it will probably need to be a 1080 if you want good fps with detail switched on.

Thanks for the answer.

I am planning to keep the monitor for atleast 5 years and yeah next year I will have to buy another GPU and the 1080 is on the aim. Which monitor would you recommend?
