Are you prepared to spend a bit more?
I like the Dell U2713HM IPS. It's around $590
There is also the Dell UltraSharp U2711 which is around $625
Some people like PLS and Asus has the PB278Q around $550
Monoprice has their own branded 27" IPS 1440p monitor for $483
The nice thing about Monoprice is they use the A-1 panels but they do not use any that have defective pixels and anomalies. They select the best panels and reject the ones with issues. Plus they have great customer service. So if you need to save a few bux that is not a bad option. Dell offers more features and arguably better color since it comes calibrated from the factory. Apple also has a 27" 1440p display but they want $1000 for it.
It's fine.Make sure you install the Dell display manager which have both auto and manual modes for your convenience.I based my purchase decision on the reviews too :biggrin:
Did you use any ICC profiles for that monitor? Like the ones from here:

what do u guys do for text in games @ 1440p? its so tiny!!!! That's the onyl drawback i've seen going to 1440p in strategy games or games with lots of text over units.
How much better would a 660ti SLI be than a 6970 crossfire? My wifes computer has a 660ti in it and she doesn't game. I could always pull that out and put it in mine and purchase another 660ti cheap and put one of my 6970's in hers. I'm guessing it wouldn't be a huge improvement and not worth the hassle. I plan on buying something else by next summer anyways.
If it is too bothersome play at @1080P (I wouldn't recommend it though).Which games are giving you issues currently?
AT reviewed the Monoprice recently and it was crap.
Compared to what? The Korean panels? Cause that is the only thing it should be compared to. It is a Korean import sold by a US company with some customer service attached to it.
Compared to Nixeus and Dell.

LOL, you are more likely to get a non defective korean panel the first time than a dell
dell is really failing with the new monitors it seems

Please stop referring to A- IPS panels from LG as 'defective' - it's simply not true. Also, AT's thoughts about how the Monoprice was less than impressive were not clearly panel related

Who said defective? I was using monoprice's terminology in calling them A -1.
Also is there any comparison between the LG IPS screens and the Samsung PLS?
I think its mostly exaggeration. I played on a native 1440x900 screen and going 1080 in and of itself did not offer some magical image quality difference. its simply better because you get much more screen to work with. physically and more pixels. even 1440x900 still looks perfectly fine on screen where that that is native. its just to damn small of course to be useful nowadays.
