I rolled the dice on a monitor from Monoprice recently (http://www.monoprice.com/product?c_id=113&cp_id=11307&cs_id=1130703&p_id=13808&seq=1&format=2), but 27" 1440p IPS for $250 shipped and no hassle returns was worth it to me. It's very clearly an LG panel inside and seems fine to me. No dead pixels on arrival which was the biggest deal to me. I think some people have mentioned backlight bleed, which has been pretty common with a lot of LG screens recently for some reason, but since I watch 0 movies on my computer it's not something I notice. I don't do much intense gaming like FPS, and can see very faint trailing once in awhile in some of the faster games, but getting the 144hz super gaming 0ms response time monitor wasn't worth the extra $300 to me. Only problem is my poor ol' 660ti can definitely not handle 1440p gaming so it's just 1080 stretched (bleh). Time to start collecting change from the couch to upgrade.


Another big issue that goes under the radar is  Uniformity..   contrast uniformity.. backlight uniformity, etc..

Many of the panels that Seeeem alrite are not A+  because their uniformity is ajar..

Using a bunch of U2713HM's at work - S2716DG at home.

G-Sync is so worth it.

I have 3 monitors. The main 2 I use for media and browsing is Viewsonic vp2270. They are 27 inch 1440p resolution monitors with excellent color reproduction. Watching anything on this monitor always looks great. I bought them refurbished a year ago for $250 which was a killer deal.

My third monitor is an Asus VG248QE 1080p 144hz monitor which I use exclusively for gaming.

BenQ XL2430T. Bought it to play counter strike on, and it's still doing it's job so I can't complain.

Same, got it to finally run on 144hz on "full" stretched > black bars.
