So i went ahead and bit the bullet and went with an AOC Agon AG271QG. I got it a good bit cheaper than the comparable ASUS ROG Swift.
I've read a few reports on the BLB but if i get a bad panel i'll just send it back for a refund. That's my social life gone for a few months anyway. :pac:

I have the exact same panel, have it about a 5 weeks now. The colour is a bit off out of the box, but once I ran my spyder calibration on it, it really popped.

How are you finding it? I really wanted an IPS panel as my last two were TN's and this looks great and is the cheapest i could find. Can you send me the best settings for it if you don't mind?

My setting are controlled by the Spyder profiles, but before I got the tool I follow the below.
These setting are pretty good, but each panel will vary slightly.

A calibration tool is the best way to go.

Are the calibration tools expensive to buy?

Pricey enough, best if you can go halves with a friend. As you really only use it a couple of times...

That's the TN panel right? I suppose it should be the same for IPS. I'll give it a go with those settings when it arrives. I got an email from Amazon saying it will be delayed a day or two as it was delivered to the wrong depot.

I've been looking high and low for a good screen. So far the best I've found is a Dell S2417DG. I know it's not a widescreen but that's fine, and my current screen size is the same size.

What I'm really after in a monitor is a good refresh rate and 1440p resolution.

Have a look here. It's all the g sync monitors on overClockers at a 24".

I have the G2460PG 24" 1920x1080 TN G-Sync 144Hz 1ms monitor and it has totally transformed my gaming compared my other screens, one of which is a 1440 60hz screen the other a 2560x1080 21:9 ultra wide 60hz screen both IPS.

How's the Aoc ? Happy with it?

Grahamer666 · 24-06-2017 12:47PM

Very happy with it. It has a small amount of backlight bleed in the bottom right hand corner but you only notice it in really dark scenes in games and you're playing in a dark room. Under normal conditions you can't notice it at all. I've no dead or stuck pixels which would have made me send it back. Playing in 1440p and 100+ FPS has really wowed me. Even more so than playing my PS4 Pro on a 4K Bravia that i have.

Dcully · 24-06-2017 08:11PM

Glad your liking it .
You wil never go back to 60hz again

Id take 120+ hz/fps @ 1440 or even 1080 [which im currently on] ahead of anything @ 60fps including 4k.

I couldn't go back to 1080p on PC after using a 1440p monitor. I had to go back recently to a 1080p screen while I was getting my screen replaced. It was like mud to my eyes

Dcully · 24-06-2017 08:34PM

I have a 1080 144hz gsync and a 1440 60 hz, no competition to me 1080 144hz gsync everytime.

Different strokes and all that

I have both

1440P at 144hz with G-Sync.

I know what you mean though with 144hz at 1080p vs 60 hz.

Grahamer666 · 24-06-2017 09:00PM

For me anyway the 100+ FPS is much better than the 4K. It would be different if I could get 60FPS at 4K but I wouldn't be able to afford a PC capable of that and I can't see a console doing it with every game so I'm more than happy with 1440p/100+ FPS.

FAILSAFE 00 · 24-06-2017 09:10PM

I actually think the sweet spot on PC is 1440p regardless of FPS.

4K is only great if you have a huge monitor. 4K is wasted on anything under 34 inches IMO.

Dcully · 25-06-2017 07:49AM

I agree 1440 is the sweetspot.
My current gtx 970 would struggle @ 1440 to sustain 144fps where as its perfect for 1080 144fps.
Im planning a new build over the winter and it will be 1440 144hz gsync or freesync depending on what gpu i go with.

Skerries · 26-06-2017 10:50AM

yeah I will have to upgrade my pc soon as it isn't strong enough for my 34" UW 1440p 100hz
