The ASUS VG279Q is the best 1080p full HD monitor we've tested so far. It's a very good monitor for almost any use, thanks to its outstanding motion handling, excellent color and white balance accuracy, and wide viewing angles. I currently have a 4k/60hz monitor with HDR, paired with a 1080p 144hz G-Sync monitor, which I'm selling. I'm wondering whether to get another 4k monitor with G-Sync and 60hz since the 144hz gsync ones are way too expensive, or go for a 1440p 144hz monitor to pair alongside it? Are the IQ differences between 1440p and 4k massively noticeable or not?

I picked up a 28' 60Hz '4K' (actually UHD) monitor on woot earlier this year as an upgrade to my ancient 19' 900p monitor. It's been mostly great, except that it has terrible ghosting. I'd like to get a better monitor, but that's a pretty hefty investment. Though I recognize its importance since my eyes are on it all the time.
I see a lot of people here go wild over 144, and I see quite a few monitors that cap at 1080p in the $250-350 price range. I'd like to keep the huge monitor size, and I hate the idea of 'losing' a feature (namely UHD) in the name of 'upgrading.'
Is 144 really worth it if I absolutely have to lose UHD? Does anyone have a recommendation of a monitor $400 or less that can go to UHD or 4K and run 144hz at 1080? (Thinking it'd be nice to be able to switch between 144/1080 and 60/UHD)
