Looking for a 1440p IPS higher refresh rate monitor for gaming and everyday use

Hi I recently got a Dell 2716DG, a 27"1440p 144Hz GSync monitor, to be used with a 1070. However, having worked with IPS dsplays for the past several years, I feel really hard using TN panels again. Although I set the Dell monitor to the most commonly used (and accepted settings), my out of the...

Dell S2716DG? Or any 1440p Gsync display under $500? Or No Gsync, 144 Hz only?

Dell S2716DGR was on sale at Bestbuy for $480. Regular price is $200 more. Is this a good deal/good monitor? Any other suggestions? Looking to pair my 1070 notebook with it. Which brings me to the next question: my notebook already has a 120 hz 1080p Gsync TN panel. Would I be better served...

1 TB SSD for Laptop - durability, power priority (ruled out NVME)

I want to upgrade my laptop's SSD to a 1 TB NVME/M.2. I really like the 960 Evo's but they seem quite expensive for pretty much no real world gain. Any suggestions? The Intel 600p suffers from some really bad edge cases, and also seems power inefficient. The 1 TB 850 Evo also seems to have...

GTX 980 Ti HP pre-built system for 1100? Worth it?

Hi, I have been reading these forums for a long time. I have a question so I registered. I am not sure if this should go in the deals forum, or the Pre-built system forums, but a lot of the best posters post on this forum so I am putting it here. Moderators, please move if this is not OK here...
