Lag.... No interest in this. IPS is NOT for gaming. Deal with it...

What people want, is entirely subjective - deal with it! /playing on a 1440p PLS monitor

Depends on the gaming and it hasn't been tested yet.
I FPS on a 60Hz monitor with v.low input lag and it works just fine, yet I know the high refresh rate is better, I prefer IPS panels over the vastly inferior TFT panels.
All that needs to happen now is for BenQ to buy these IPS panels and release their IPS 120/144Hz monitor and the circle will be complete for me.
I seriously doubt you (plural) will ever be able to notice any input lag on a monitor rated at 120Hz...

I quite agree.
But would add in details:
- Input lag difference between IPS and TN is so small it is nearly impossible to see (this comes from transition times as pixels change state)
- there is 0ms difference in input lag from processing electronic for TN vs IPS
- biggest input lag culprits are: DirectX to Driver handling, 2 / 3 buffering - vsync / 125Hz refresh on mouse + windows kernel handling events from inputs
(all those cause much more lag than gaming monitors, yes usual TV with all post processing can double total input lag)
- IPS with 5ms GTG is not bad at all, one should see it and moving objects may actually look more natural
Those who want to reduce delay between signal from mouse to response on screen, Adaptive Sync functionality would be much more beneficial than TFT matrix since it effectively eliminates one back buffer use.

Lag and responses time are two different things...

5 ms is fast enough for 120 Hz. Input lag is totally on the image processor used, not really the panel.
The question is not if it can work, but does it work well for gaming.
drac
The difference in input lag of 1ms vs 5ms at 120hz would just be impossible to notice... it is on TN panels anyway. Unsure about the new displayport ips panels, but its highly likely a non-issue also.

I guess you missed some of the posts ahead of yours, but that is the spec for pixel response, which has 0 to do with input lag. Its why my last monitor purchase was the HPZR2740W. It has zero image processing and not even an OSD, thus basically no input lag. The pixel response could be better but was basically the best performing 1440p IPS at the time. Fast enough for UT3 though. I get minimal but noticeable ghosting from planes flying past me in my flight sim. If the ASUS has a 'game mode' that sorts out any potential input lag, the 5ms 120hz should be relatively ghost free. I might have to figure out how to unload my HP monitor somewhere.

This. He's obviously very confused 😀

I already own a Overlord Tempest X270OC which does 120HZ at 2560x1440. Great for gaming. I doubt this Asus monitor will be as cheap but it does seem to have more features

If not advertized by Asus, it seems the monitor is Freesync capable.
It use DP1.2a+ with adaptivesync, so basically it should been compatible with Freesync.

What is funny,
A new monitor 60hz IPS/PLS is shown, some peoples write: 120hz or nothing
A new monitor 120hz TN is shown, some peoples: IPS 120hz or nothing.
A new monitor 120hz IPS is showing: some peoples TN or nothing.
In 2 minutes: SuperAmoled 4K 240hz 32" or nothing...
lol hopefully there's one monitor for everyone in the list.

I hope it supports Freesync -- I might switch if it does and Nvidia continues to go it's own route.
Lane
It will be needed to see when released:
but, this monitor can operate only from 40hz to 120hz ( this could be the reason why it dont have the freesync " logo ". ) Then ofc it will be seen if Asus dont block it on firmware ( i dont see why they will do it., even if i can think to one reason ).
LesserHellspawn
Nice one for 3D, as that needs fixed 120 Hz anyway.
Fox2232
Can you imagine it had FPR and therefore 0 ghosting?
2560x1440 screen would work in 3D as 2560x720 that is a lot of pixels and you would keep refresh rate per eye and no strain too.

I have a QNIX QX2700 LED 2560×1440 27 inch IPS monitor that was easily overclocked to 120hz for more than 2 years now and it's great for gaming, and I don't notice any input lag. It costs 300 bucks from Korea.
How come they only now came up with this?! I don't understand
Denial
Because not all Qnix reach 120hz and even the ones that do don't all get 120Hz across the entire panel uniformly. Not to mention that they hit that price point by essentially using thrown away parts from other companies.
Badelhas
First of all, most of them do actually overclock to 120hz and every single one OCs to 96hz, which is very good as well. And for 300 bucks, it's a steal imo.
Second, I've been a part of the overclock.net owners club thread for 2 years now and never heard or read anything about not being overclocked across the entire panel. Do you have a source for your statement?
