Had my ole 24" IPS from LG for roughly 5 years and after you guys pointed out just how small it was on my desk a couple months ago i finally pulled the trigger on a bigger one lol.
Excuse the shitty lighting. Also, the phone made the worn out spots on my mouse pad look worse than they really are lol.

Got it on sale for 550 bucks. Was about to drop 700-800 on either an Acer Predator or the ViewSonic variant.

It's that the regular price or was it reduced? |
It is one of the cheaper 144hz 1440p ips monitors with gsync. Others are about 700

Congrats! At least you know what you want, unlike someone else here. 
I might get a new 1440p monitor soon, sometimes. As my GTX 1080 feels a bit underused with 1080p only.
Also give me that bulky purse, which is probably filled with 100$ notes. |
lol after the monitor there's no money left in there
I've got a 1080 powering it, still getting over 100FPS in some games. I don't use AA in anything as I don't feel it ever really makes that much of a difference. Witcher 3 is getting about 75-95FPS depending on where I'm at and what I'm doing. |

And that's my fill of irony for the weekend. The forum clown who only regurgitates what he reads everywhere else and uses quotes from his peers to pass off as knowing how anything works so he can fit in.

Seems some people are trying to troll you.  |
That's fine. I'd be upset too if I was always posting threads about wanting new hardware and needing help from everyone then pretending to know what everyone's saying but can't actually afford them so decides to go with the bottom of the list just to complain about the shortcomings later because saving for an extra month was too hard. Not the first time he's tried trolling me, completely forgetting what his reputation here actually is. |

Lets not talk about variance in IPS glow depending on the panel or anything.......
Unless you're sitting out in a moonless night with high brightness on the monitor you'll hardly ever have it effect you.
A smudge on a pair of perscription glasses is more annoying to deal with than the IPS glow of 2016/7 panels...........'
Yikes

Ya I wish I had an AMD gpu after seeing that g-sync adds like an extra 120ish to the price. Mine is also 165hz. So. There's the added price tag. G-Sync uses an actual module in the monitor itself instead of just relying strictly on drivers. I read there was a benefit for having an actual module but i don't remember what it was. I got tired of waiting for vega after they kept delaying it.
Still, paying the extra 100-150 over freesync still hurts lol
What GPU are you using to drive that 4K res? |

lol people are only just now adopting 4K res and now they're going to do 8k? Who do they think has money to upgrade like like this. 4K made sense. The time in between 1080p, 1440p and then 4K was plenty of time. 4K just dropped what, last year? |

Guess AOC got the QC under control. Seems like what I read, were all issues that were going on last year. I don't have ANY of the issues people have mentioned other than the classic IPS backlight bleeding which isn't even all that bad and I dont' notice it anyways since I never use my computer in the dark.
Colors are great, refresh rate is amazing, no dead/stuck pixels, now yellowing like some did. One of the best stands I've seen come with a monitor.

This is a bit OT but, i live in Portugal, can you tell me where i could possibly get a desk like that around here? Its amazing, i rly like it Thanks in advance.. |
haha ya, I scored it on Craigslist, so many manufactures of desks I'm not even sure who made it.
Here's the full view of it.
I'm actually designing a circle table top part that goes onto the top of the current circle but it's going to spin.
Going to mount it with this
http://www.rockler.com/low-profile-lazy-susans
and put some ball bearings around the edges to help balance it.

As far as googling for the desk, all I've been able to find is that it's a "p shape desk" but for a corner. So p shape corner desk? That's the best I've been able to do for googling on it. I've looked before because another friend wanted the same desk.
Added a pop up power bay that I got from work since it was used for a NASA project we were doing and didn't need it anymore. Fuckers cost like 250ish bucks since they're UL certified
