Looking for a new monitor, I want:
>27'
>IPS (with good quality control)
>1440p
>144hz
>have nvidia gpu but don't really care about gsync
or should I get the asus mg279q for $300 less and deal with not using the freesync?
I'm just worried about the quality control on these high refresh rate IPS displays tbqh

Almost all of these 1440p 144Hz IPS screens use the exact same AUO panel, so it doesn't really matter. QC is terrible across the board and you can expect to return at least a couple before you get one with minimal enough backlight bleed/glow that you can live with it.
Personally, I sure as fuck would never pay the G-Sync tax, despite owning an Nvidia card. It's sickening to think of paying so much more for the exact same monitor, with fewer inputs to boot, just for G-Sync. Tearing and v-sync stutter are far less of an issue at high framerates anyway.

If I get it from newegg would it cost lots of money in shipping to keep RMAing it? Or would newegg cover that

I have the pg779q and its a good monitor but massively over priced. Has pretty bad IPS glow but I'm too normie to have that be a deal breaker. Would Get the cheaper free sync versions for sure because gsync is a meme I have never used
I bought the xb271hu, very happy with it.
I'll be upgrading to an Ultrawide though. It's a shame the only IPS panel that meets my needs is the x34 which caps at 100hz. All others are VA garbage.

THis, My PG279q was fine but a SLIGHT bump of one corner against y other monitor caused a shit ton of backlight bleed in one corner, but I couldn't be fucked to RMA it.

submitted too early, I fixed it with tape so it's only a tiny bit now
