At higher fps the game just runs faster though it really doesn't become super noticeable unless you're above 144 fps (like getting up to 250 somehow).

I'm building babby's first computer and I need a monitor recommendation. My build is using this video card. I'm not looking to blow anybody away. I was hoping to spend between $100 and $150, and I'm looking for something at around 22". What should I take into account?

Are there any Gsync monitors out there that have decent reliability? The ones I've seen seem to be a major crapshoot.

I'm trying to keep an open mind about the different monitor technologies available for 144Hz. I'm stuck between the ASUS PG279Q and the Dell S2716DG. I've been using a TN ASUS VW266H which is finally dying, so I want to upgrade soon. Considering that the ASUS is only in stock for minutes at a time, I'd like to make a decision so I can buy when I need to. My current monitor has been excellent and I have not had any problem with viewing angles, colors, or response time. Someone raised a point that I hadn't considered about the Dell the other day: with a bigger TN monitor, there will be more area that has a more harsh viewing angle if you maintain the same distance. IPS would be nice but I'm afraid of playing the whole lottery game to get one without dead pixels and an unacceptable amount of bleed. I realize that most feedback is inherently negative, since pleased people are less likely to complain. What do you goons think? Are the QC issues that much of a gamble? Just how noticable is the IPS glow, backlight bleed, and response time to someone coming from TN? If the $100-200 USD is not a dealbreaker, should grab the ASUS or should I stick with TN and just upgrade my size/resolution/refresh rate?

Pretty much everyone here will tell you to get an IPS. The glow and whatever are worth dealing with to get the color quality and accuracy of an IPS. Backlight bleed is a defect that you should exchange for, and the response time is like 4ms vs 1ms: not that noticeable. More importantly, whichever panel type you decide to go with, do not buy that Dell. It's $700 which means that you're going to be paying IPS money for a TN panel. The only real reason to buy a TN is low price so at least get something that's competitive.

My monitor is about 7 years old and only has a VGA port. I've been using a VGA-DVI adaptor to plug it in to my last graphics card. Today I installed my new R9 380, which doesn't have a VGA port, and there's a lot of flickering all over the screen. I tried plugging in my TV with an HDMI cable and there was no flickering that I could see, but it's not a very good TV and I can't really use it as a monitor long term. Do I just need to bite the bullet and finally get around to buying a new monitor, one with a DVI input?

The upside is that you can get a good monitor pretty cheap these days and they look a hell of a lot better than they did 7 years ago.

I found another VGA-DVI adapter lying around and replaced the old one, and it seems to be okay now. I think the adaptor was just old as hell. I'll be looking to get a new 1080p monitor some time in the new year anyway, if things go well for me work-wise. I'm not all that bothered about 1440p, certainly not 4k, but I think some games are starting to expect 1080p as a standard now. I got Anno 2205 the other day and the UI text looks like garbage at 1440x900, for example.

Yeah, I was going to say it's likely worthwhile to consider an upgrade because even cheap IPS 1080p is a big step up over 1440x900 TN. In the interim you might want to take care to see if the aspect ratio is setting itself properly.

Seconding this, I'm in Ontario and bought a 2795QHD and it's perfect, cost was ~460CAD after all import fees & taxes. It was at my door less than a week after ordering, I think it was 4 business days. I spent the extra $10 for a pixel perfect guarantee, which was probably unnecessary but worth it for the peace of mind.

I need to get some external monitors for work being driven by rMBPs. They're asking for 27" doing strictly office things so I'd like to get something at x1440 for the extra screen space. Also our preferred vendor is through Amazon. Price isn't TOO much of an issue and what I'm looking at is ASUS PB278Q http://amzn.com/B009C3M7H0 because #1! Anything else I should look at? I was also thinking of maybe suggesting two 24" monitors instead since that is about the same price and everybody loves two monitors.

Anybody have a recommendation for a good monitor for mixed console/pc use in the 175 usd range? Coworker's son is looking at a BenQ RL2455HM, and I'm wondering if that isn't enough budget for a 1080p IPS with good display lag.

I want to upgrade from my lovely monitor (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824236101) but I want to make sure I am going to notice an awesome difference.

Also any older games or lower spec games would benefit. The big disadvantage of the Korean panels is lack of inputs and lovely, lovely stands. The BenQ has a very nice stand and a decent selection of inputs but the stand can be replaced on the Korean one if it's an issue, the input selection your stuck with.

One of the overclockable Korean ones seems like a good choice for you, you should be able to OC it to 100Hz or so easy which makes a pretty big difference from 60Hz and will be easier to drive than 144Hz or whatever. Also nice and cheap.

And yeah, the stand is terrible but IIRC it's got mounting holes for VESA mounts so you could just get a VESA compatible stand and use that instead.
