Need a new monitor

[phillyman36]

Starting to look for a new monitor. I want something bigger than 24 inches. Also thinking about maybe 2560x1440. My usage in no particular order

1) Want to start a little gaming.(Want to try Ashes of Singularity but a little gaming here and there wont be everyday) Don't need the setting maxed

2) Movie watching from time to time
3) General web surfing and some productivity.

Since I have a Evga 1070 I assume the monitor should have G Sync? For my usage do I need things like IPS, G Sync etc etc?
I like those Ultrawide monitors but not sure if its a waste of money for my usage. Budget under $800
Any suggestions? Most people seem to be looking for specific gaming monitors but I'm looking for a monitor that would do good in gaming, movie watching and general text reading.

Wow...That does look like a sweet monitor. I've been thinking 4k and Widescreen 1440 but this may be the sweetspot...I too would be interested to know what games you play and how it performs.

2560x1440 is really good for gaming and movies if you're got the GPU horsepower, which you do so unless you need some extra horizontal desktop space the 2K is a good option.

I made the mistake of buying a top of the line premium ultrawide and, while it's a terrific monitor, there are now better displays for less money. You don't really need the adaptive sync but it does make a nice difference in a lot of titles. From what I can tell, it isn't mind-blowing or anything, but it is smoother than regular v sync.
