Or if the FPS is lower than the refresh rate.

Okay so I scored an 980 SC ACX 2.0 for $411 on eBay and I am considering a 144hz monitor and or a 1440p monitor in a few months. I have 2 other 1080p screens (tv/monitor) I would like to run and a possible 3rd in the future. If I wanted to run all three screens simultaneously I need to get a DP cable due to the other two screens running hdmi and dvi. Would that need to be an active DP cable or does that not matter until a 4th screen comes into play (not exactly sure about active DP cables)?
Also would there be any loss in image quality to a monitor with a DP to HDMI cable?

Looking into an ips monitor in 1440p and in the 27" range. Found an Acer G257HU smidpx which is only 25". A buddy of mine just bought a QX2710 which is an AHVA. I've heard of different types of monitors such as PLS as well. Could you guys possibly suggest some monitors without a bad viewing angle, in 1440p, and possibly not insanely priced. Focused more on image quality instead of refresh rate.

If you don't care about G-Sync, Freesync, high refresh rates, then any IPS/AHVA/PLS, etc. panel will work for your wide viewing angles requirement. I run a Samsung version of the QNIX and am very pleased with it. The Dell's that ATM recommends are also very nice too with excellent support.

That price tag though. Going to wait and see if I can find it on a sale or at least get some coupons (visa checkout + coupon codes
) for staples then do a price match or something.
Do you get the service tag for Dell's warranty when you buy from B&H or Staples? When I bought a Dell screen from Amazon there was no service tag, and therefore no warranty past Amazon's return window. If something's already $500, I think the full warranty is worth the extra $100 to buy it directly from Dell.

I never said it was cheap, just that it was the best, LOL
I'll have to check my monitors when I get home (they came from Newegg)
