They should release a WQHD 27" 144hz curved gsync monitor, then I'll buy it! Otherwise... no.

Aside from the stupid price, what's the reason for the stupid name (Hbmiprz) ?

People that play fast paced shooters have no other choice, it's TN or CRT.

An AHVA panel @ 144-165 Hz is not as smooth as TN at 144 Hz. There's even 180 Hz TN and soon 240 Hz (Asus). Talking about true 180 and 240 Hz here.
An no, I don't use TN or high Hz. I use AH-IPS 60 Hz. But I can easily see the difference between TN 144 Hz and AHVA 165 Hz. TN is much faster. So I understand why they still sell TN. AHVA also has massive bleeding and glow issues.
Sorry, can't agree with you.
Human eye (and brain) in general can't process more than 50-60 images per second, so it is highly improbable you can actually see the difference between 144 and 165Hz, even if you fall in <1% of world population with hyper-sensitive eyes.
May be you mean something different, like seeing subtle differences in color accuracy, but it is still highly questionable.
If you really see some distortions (given you somehow check different monitors connected to identical PCs) – may be it is not the issue with display, but rather with respective PC…
Also, just out of curiosity - can you please define "fast paced shooter"?

FullHD... TN... and a whopping price... it's going to be a "success".
I do wonder if any of these monitor makers perform reality checks before releasing yet another piece of... product.
On a side note - I am even more amazed that someone is still buying TN-based monitors.
