yea debating between the asus pg279q or the pg27aq. But frankly I'm having a hard time justifying paying the same for a 1440p monitor as I would for a 4k.
I cant find the acer anywhere in lebanon. Do you know a place that has them?
Neither the pg279q or the xb271hu are not available in Lebanon. Special order - I will ask Spot Net Hamra since he do special orders. But warranty is a major concern , dead pixels , stuck pixels, bleeding are all major concerns either out of the box or along the 1st year of usage. Well 2160p GSync 60 hz like the pg27aq is tempting frankly but still graphic cards didnot tip that level. Stcking with 1440p is more convenient. However if you are aiming to upgrade the graphic card each two years , the pg27aq 2160p 60 fps is a good investment now that has positive returns in the future.
When are you aiming to grab one and the 1080.
the pg279q is available in lebanon for 950$ + vat with warranty...etc I have seen it a couple of times. but never running.
arguement for 4k:
with a single overclcked gtx1080,I can easily run 4k ultra 60fps in some games: overwatch,doom...etc. especially competitive ones: cs:go,heroes of the storm? lol probably 250fps . as for more demanding games like witcher 3, removing hair works and AA takes it to about 55, with gsync on that should be smooth.Same thing with darksouls 3, aa off and maybe shadow on high or something will get u 60 or just below. it shouldn't be too much of a problem with gsync even if it was only 50.Besides I can always play at 1440p if I want. Sli or upgrading in the future will benefit more from it, As my card is a little overkill for 1440p as is.
arguement for 1440p:
Games will get more demanding at the same resolution in the future.playing a game at a monitor's native resolution is better than playing 1440p on a 4k monitor(or so they say) I haven't seen first hand how much worse it could be, especially with the pixels so small.
Exactly how noticeable is 4k compared to 1440p at 27inches?I'm not sure.
The value of 144hz is it worth the trade off (loosing all those pixels)?
paying for a 1440p monitor the same as a 4kgsync monitor? hard time justifying that.
I sometimes feel my gpu is too powerful for a 1440p monitor and that it would be a waste.
