Best 27" 1440P 3D Vision monitor 2017 ??
  2 / 6    
I agree I don't care for 4K right now....its barely buttery smooth performance for 2d 4K games. Let alone our handicapped CPU issue with 3D Vision software....1440P still requires hefty firepower.

Dell S2716DG owner here, after owning the VG278HE for a few years. The upgrade is ok, maybe like 20% better. It's a bit sharper, the brightness is better than the VG for 3d games that look too dark I have no problems with the Dell. I wish I could have upgraded to the new 4k tv's and just ran at 1080p instead, may have been a better.

How bad is the downscaling issue, and are the different models equilly bad ? What do the owners of the the Asus PG278QR say ??

Well, for anyone interested in the S2716DG, it's on sale atm for $410. Might be US only? http://dealnews.com/Dell-27-1440-p-GSync-LED-LCD-Display-for-410-free-shipping/1930688.html

Non integer upscaling isn't a problem for me when I use 1080p in my 1440p monitor. There is mandatory (sadly) bilinear filtering anyway so there shouldn't be much difference compared to a resolution that is an exact divisor, like 720p. I will welcome a 4K 3D Vision monitor because I also play old games where I already try hard to push my GPU (crazy supersampling, downscaling, etc).

I think it's significant image quality loss above the drop to 1080p on the previous version everything looks a little blurry and less defined on the PG278Q but I ultimately decided to play witcher 3 at 1080p to keep a constant 60fps, and found it a ultimately preferable experience. My hope is with a 1080ti SLI upgrade I will be able to maintain 1440p at least while keeping a general 60fps

You will see I already answered that question, and I don't understand what you are talking about with the rest. =). I am rather picky though and I found the image loss bearable. Just looks a little worse than native 1080p but it's a small price to pay to run at a nice fast stable framerate in 3d. Some people don't mind games at 30fps, I would prefer to sacrifice resolution most of the time.

I forgot about this post by Techlore, where he suggests that 4K panels using IPS and Quantom dots will not be compatible with 3D Vision. This would be due to trhe fact of the polarizer filter on the screen and the orientation of the crystals in Nvidia's glasses. [quote="Techlore"]The new Asus PG258Q is the new 240hz monitor that is 3D vision certified. It was just featured this week at CES. If you pull up the Linus tech tips CES review on youtube you will clearly see the 3D vision lable on the stand. https://rog.asus.com/articles/gaming-monitors/rog-swift-pg258q/ The problem us 3D vision users have is that the way 3D vision inversion works is only compatible with verticle pattern of TN pannels. With things moving to IPS, Q dot, OLED, they are just flat out not compatible with the way 3D vision works. And with VR on the rise that takes any attention away from developing 3D monitors for our niche community[/quote] Personally, I've no idea. I do know, that the polarized overlay on 3D Vision displays, is the reason why you can not use 3D in portrait mode.

I just got the Asus PG278QR, and previously I had the Asus PG278Q (older version). I also tried Dell S2716DG. Here's my conclusion and advice. Currently PG278QR is the best 1440p monitor money can buy. There's almost no ghosting, least ghosting in all monitors I've tried since 2009 when 3D launched, quality issues have been apparently resolved, and most important of all, pixel inversion and scanlines are fixed about 90%. My advice - BestBuy here in Canada has 14 days no question asked return policy. I assume it's the same in U.S. Any number of monitors you are considering and comparing, buy them all, test them all for a week, keep the best one and return the bad ones. That's what I always do coz I'm a bit of perfectionist when it comes to dead pixels, ghosting etc. I tested Dell S2716DG. The ghosting is horrible even after a lot of calibration, and pixel inversion is same as Asus PG278Q (old model). Now I have PG278QR and the older PG278Q. I always have 2 1440p monitors coz you'll never know when 3D disappears from the market. Having one as backup lol. I'm selling Asus VG278HE and Samsung 2233RZ.
