Everything from sharpness to colours look so much better on my XB271HK than on my friends XB271HU. The XB271HU looks darker, colours don't "pop" clarity looks blurry and the 144hz doesn't look much smoother. Both are IPS monitors, but like I said, because of the 144hz of the XB271HU, the picture is darker than 60hz and colours look dull. That's the high price you pay for 144hz is to have a seriously degraded picture. Is it worth it? No it isn't.

One is a 10-bit monitor, other is 8-bit + FRC, and as you tried to point out, higher resolution at the same size.

It looking "worse" has nothing to do with it being 144HZ.

Both Asus and Acer put out AUO's 144HZ G-Sync 4k 27 inch panel that uses quantum dot, has 1000 nits of brightness and HDR. It offers the best of all world's, but costs €2500 while doing so.

Agreed, but I'd skip the 1080. That's mad overkill for that resolution, even a refference 1070 would blow past 140 FPS at 1080P. May as well save the money.

I find my self still dropping settings with my 1080 at 1080p 144hz to get 144fps+.

In what games?

If going with a GTX 1080, I'd recommend 1440p.

A GTX 1080 that handles 1440p just fine, usually getting frames well over 100 in most titles. Sometimes you just need to know when max doesn't mean the best, like not cranking up SS and multiple AA layers.

Might want to think about Gsync.

Be sure that your CPU, and the rest of your hardware, are up to the task as well.

if YOU care about smooth gaming pick 144hz 2k. 4K is not that mainstream as of yet and it will improve greatly by the end of this year when more 100+hz monitors comes out.
You won't see on monitors this size much difference between 2k and 4k, but you will deffinitely notice how smooth it can be when having good gpu and 144hz monitor.
gtx 1070 will perform nicely and even 1060 will get you over 40fps in modern games like far cry 5 in 2k.
I have 1080 and i am yet to find a game that doesn't run smoothly on ultra,2k

I would strongly avoid 4k monitors smaller then 30-32 inches for so many reasons if you still want to use one especially for gaming.

You can try them out in physical stores and see the issues for yourself if you want.

My XB271HK looks a great deal better than my friends XB271HU in person, even more so when viewing 4K content.

Also chompman, a 27 4K monitor has a higher PPI than a 32 inch, so better clarity than a 32 inch which means more crispier.

I am not talking about a higher ppi as that's obvious but there are other factors to take into place here and I suggest you look up those reasons and why it can be issues for gaming.

Just because not everyone agrees with you does not mean we are trolling so stop with the name calling as it's not welcomed here.

You shouldn't say incorrect crap like that then. I game at 27 inch 4K and have no issues.

It's incorrect to you not to everyone.

There are many issues 4k gaming still has especially on a smaller monitor like that many people do not feel is worth it at this time when there are different alternatives that many feel are better for now.

You can show your reasons if you want why you feel they are wrong just like why others can disagree with you.

For op's budget 4k gaming is not really worth it especially with just a gtx 1080 as many newer games will have fps issues for higher settings even on just 1440p.

[EliteGamer]

So you keep saying there're issues, but fail to mention any LOL. You saw my previous comment and you just came here to have a dig.

I can tell you many reasons why 27 inch is better than 32 inch.

A) higher PPI - better clarity
B) higher PPI, so looks better and requires less AA in game or none at all.
C) Portrait mode
D) More space on desk
E) Won't effect eyesight from normal desktop viewing
F) Better value for money. The 32 inch costs alot more with less features.

Not relevant to ur conversation but we only see in 30 fps so 60 Hz is just fine especially if counting average reaction time, by that logic a 8ms 60Hz 1080p tv(like the one I got) is just fine,

The entire "only see 30 fps" is not really accurate in the quality you will notice at higher hz like you will see in a 144hz monitor provided your system can handle it.

Right. Anybody who's owned a 144Hz display will tell you, there is a visible difference. Quite a stark visible difference, in fact.

Not sure if serious or just woke up from Y2K.

It has long since been proven that we do not see in frames per second. It has also long since been proven that one could even identify an airplane, correctly identifying the make and model, when just shown in a single frame out of 220 frames in a second. We see in a continuous flow, so anything we see, it gets interpreted by the brain. The more information (frames), the better.

"8ms" of what? GTG? BTB? It is all about worthless specifications that manufacturers put on the box to boost sales. It isn't input latency.
