Buying a new gaming computer screen, looking for advice

Question:

Which screen do you think I should buy?

Introduction

I am going to get a gaming screen for my PC that will go well with my graphics card ''ASUS GeForce GTX 1080 8GB ROG STRIX DC3 Gaming''. What I was looking for is not a curved screen, 144Hz rate, at least 60 cm wide, and no more then 800$. I am intending to only us this PC for gaming.

So far the choice has come to stand between one ''Dell 27" LED G-Sync S2716DG'' and one ''Acer 27" Predator LED G-Sync XB271HU''. They pend around the same price range, Dell has a TN screen while Acer is ISP. The specs says Acer has a little larger screen, lower power consumption, and as an ISP screen it doesn’t have same issues as a TN screen with the color contrast looking from an angle. The Dell screen however has a response time four times faster (1ms/4ms).

Comparisson

From what I have heard these response times are nothing I would notice, therefore I would lean towards Acer, which I currently am due from recessions online so I wouldn’t have to go through the hassle a TN screen could bring.

I am still however undecided since I have read that TN screens have been, and still are, the go-to screens for gaming, and that ISP is for people who use computers from other things then gaming, like foto editing. TN screens would then be best sole for gaming (which is what I do), and to prevent input-lag and ghosting TN would be superior. But to reach a perfect picture quality with TN it would require a lot of tweaking with the settings options, and therefor people more used to TN who know what they are doing would get better quality then those who are not used or aware to it, and therefore reviewers could think at first glans ISP would be better and go with that one.

I have however also heard that that ISP has entered the market for real proper gaming screens, and that they are becoming the go-to type of screen for more and more players. Not only do you avoid the issues with angle color contrast, but issues like input-lag and ghosting in modern gaming ISP screens are at a level with TN screens where the difference is in practice irrelevant, or unnoticeable. I should also at that in my preferences minor issues and differences from shifting colors based on me or my screen shifting is something that would bother me more than it would bother most people.

Conclusion

If the difference in image quality the Dell TN has in comparison to the Acer ISP are minimal, and that you couldn’t get a clearly superior picture even if you know how you were supposed to handle the color settings I would prefer the Acer. I am also not a fan of making adjustments, but would rather just start up and go without the need to understand much of software, technology, and optimal settings, and then ISP sounds like it is the type for me, unless the TN screen in a significant way could exceed the ISP’s pictures.

This topic is so that I can get some clarity considering the things I have mentioned and if they are all correct, and perhaps even get some suggestions as to what screen I should pick based on what I have said I am looking for and what my preferences are. If you have any other ideas of screens that could befit you can suggest them to me as well, as long as they meet the criteria.
