Hi,

I'v been planning to buy a new monitor for awhile now as mine is 6 years old. (Dell 24''). I will be glad if you can please help me to pick one. This time i want to go for 27'' and here is what i need from it:

1) I prefer IPS panel because it looks better even though i know TN is better for gaming. I have no idea if there's new panels nowdays. If it really better to go for TN panel i will consider it. Also i want it to be matt.

2) I think 2560x1440 resolution is best to go for from what i read so far when it comes to 27'' monitors.

3) I know 144Hz is good and this is what i should buy? i don't know really well what refresh and respond times i need to go for, but i want them to both be good for gaming

4) I prefer Dell & Asus but it's not a must if there's a better monitor from other company

I think i covered most of the monitors points, my badget is 1000$ and i'll be glad to spend less...

One last thing, i need an all around gaming mouse (wired) with no extra buttons and such under 100$, what should i go for?

Thank you

I am seriously considering going with this monitor in the link below

Asus 27, gaming, 1440p, Gsync

Because I plan to go Gsync. However, this monitor fits most of what you have said in your post. If you plan to go Gsync as well that is..

Only compatible with Nvidia cards GTX 650, and higher/newer.

Thank you i will look into it. Looks very impressive. I have no idea what Gsync is but i'm gonna catch up on that!

Also i forgot to mention that i have no problem to wait a few months if there is a good monitor on the horizon waiting to be released.. hate to buy something and then something new pops up...

Gsync is an Nvidia only answer to screen tearing, Vsync, and input lag. Without taxing performance. Give it a study as informing yourself on an alternate product never really hurts.

However, like I stated in the last post... Monitors with Gsync will only be compatible with Nvidia cards that are GTX6## series or newer.

You can't get "gaming" monitor (1-2ms, 120Hz+) and IPS panel both at the same screen.

I think 5ms is pretty good for gaming and as I said many times: once you go IPS you can't go back, so I'm suggesting you: http://pcpartpicker.com/part/asus-monitor-pb278q got 1440p as you wished.

About gaming mouse, I need to know what's your mouse grip before I can suggest anything.
