Thanks for the advice.
I'm going to go with a 2K monitor because the 4K ones don't have more than 60Hz and i need a minimum of 75Hz or my migraines go into overdrive.
I found 2 monitors that have really good reviews, only problem is they both have major downsides. The Acer XB270HU does have G-Sync compatibility, but every batch made before June 2015 is defective in some dramatically bad way (and odds are if i get it now, i'll get a bad one). The BenQ XL2730Z has less problems but it doesn't offer G-Sync.
So i'm going to wait until the end of the year to buy a 2K monitor in hopes the Acer XB270HU has more distribution so the odds of getting a bad one are lower (diluting the pool). Maybe something better will be released in this period too.
I've read some complaints from others that say G-Sync makes games unplayable/blurry. Is this true? I'm especially interested if this is the case because both monitors im looking at are 144Mhz and i don't know if G-Sync can sync without any artifacts.
For anyone interested in either of the monitors i mentioned, here's my notes:
Acer XB270HU
27", 2560 x 1440, 4ms, 144Hz, Flicker Free, IPS Panel, G-Sync
1x DisplayPort 1.2
Get one dated later than June 2015 or there will be problems ...
BenQ XL2730Z
27", 2560 x 1440, 1ms G2G, 144Hz, Flicker Free, Low Blue Light, TN Film, FreeSync (ATI Only)
1x DisplayPort 1.2, DVI, VGA, 2x HDMI
