  • 1ms or near to it
  • G-Sync would be great but not needed
  • 1440p
  • Solid color accuracy and brightness

Let me know what you use, why you love/hate it, or if you have any other suggestions.
These are contradictory requirements. You can't get a 144Hz 1ms monitor with good color accuracy and brightness. I researched this for my son earlier this year. I don't buy much into the 1ms hype so if I was buying for myself, I would have bought the fastest IPS monitor. We bought a 1ms monitor and the color reproduction and black level were much worse than my Samsung TV I bought at least 5 years ago. My son was playing his XBOX One games (Destiny, Fort Nite) on that TV just fine before he decided to switch to PC gaming.
