Hi guys.
I am in the market for a new monitor.
Mainly will be used for gaming.
I am currentyl using BenQ RL2455HM as my secondary now.

I have found a few choices with very noticeable pros and cons.

Dell S2716DG - G-SYNC /TN / 1ms
BenQ XL2730Z - Freesync / TN / 1ms
Acer XB271HU - G-SYNC / IPS / 4ms

Gaming will be from my pc and consoles.
Games are mostly fps with a mix of rts.

So which would be the better one for my usage?
No work is intended to be done on this monitor. Purely entertainment machine.

Any feedbacks are very welcomed. And if a better monitor that would fit my usage is available, please do recommend.
Thanks!

The Acer XB271HU has only DP input, so your console is out. I got one (dead pixel free) and paired it with Nvidia card for Gsync, and it is absolutely amazing!
I've no experience with the models from Dell and BenQ, as well as 1ms and Freesync, so I can't comment on that.

if you have Nvidia based system just go for Gsync based.

FPS gsync ftw

RTS wont make a difference

The problem now with 1440p IPS is the bleeding yellow issue. It seems to be common with all ips gsync from all brands at all resolution.
