Best 1080p monitor for gaming?
If you don't want freesync/gsync and DO want CRT Type blur reduction, Benq XL2720Z, pretty much nothing else competes unless you want a gsync monitor.

If you neither want freesync, gsync, blur reduction or anything, then it's not a gaming monitor.

Best 1440p monitor? Ahem. Depends on what features you want. For 180hz+ support and top of the line Gsync/Freesync, one of those new Acer or Asus Gsync monitors or the Freesync equivalent. I haven't been keeping up on monitors in months, after the Eizo FS2735 came out.

Thanks I will check Asus and Acer sites to see 1440 gaming monitors also please check my link above to tell me what do you think about Pixio monitor

btw does nVidia will support freesync in the future ?

That pixio uses the same panel as most of the ips wqhd 144hz monitors.
Joker has a review about it on youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RZR4_gWG4u8
Its a very good monitor for the price I believe you cant really go wrong with it especially if you have an amd card for freesync.
Well that is for general gaming if you are some hardcore fps player like cs:go or quake where very fast panels give you an edge. It might be a better idea to go with one of those new 180hz 1080p monitors from acer and asus.

Thanks Trip, is it possible that nVidia will also support freesync in the future ?

Don't count on it nvidia is pretty stubborn with these things. But once freesync becomes more mainstream by incorporating it in for example laptops or mobile phones for power saving etc it might get supported. But that will take at least a couple more years I think.
