I recently got the predator you link to and i highly recommrnd it.

Yes i think its very noticable even in wow.
Maybe order from amaxon. If you dont like it send it back.

Well... yeah.
Here's their policy. https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/help/cus...odeId=1161002#
As well as your statutory cancellation rights described above, you can return most products from the Amazon sites to Amazon within 30 days of receipt of the products if the products are complete and are in an unused and undamaged condition. To return an item please visit our Returns Support Centre.
unused?
I wouldn't worry about "unused". I'd focus more on the Statutory Rights. Those are the ones that Amazon has no control over. They are the laws of the land. You're given 14 days from when you receive it to send it back for any reason, open or unopened. Believe me, you'll know within a day or two if you don't like a monitor. Just make sure you test it in daylight, interior light, and as dark as possible.
But just in case, Amazon is pretty great at taking things back within that 30 day window. And, yes, it's fine if they are opened.
Distance selling regs are country specific so double check before ordering.
I was very lucky to get one with no back light bleed no dead pixels or trapped hair and dust. It does have some limited ips glow but i need to turn off lights at night and avtively search for it.
Why would you want 165hz monitor if you want only 144hz?
This model differs only in refresh rate (144hz exactly) and costs 150 less :

You don't really need that expensive monitor yet, a 144hz 24''/27'' monitor will be enough for gaming with a 980 Ti.
I want an IPS panel though

Thanks a lot ! I'll probably order the predator sometime soon and give it a shot. I've exhausted every local and major PC store to find any that can show a 144hz monitor in action and none of them can (or will). It's times like this I wish I had friends, ha

Actually pixel response is the slowest of all panels. And for people to that confuse them, pixel response not total lag are not the same thing. Pixel response being the transition from color to color, not the signal processing to go along with that.
It's not so much it has better color, it has better contrast.
No, VAs have 120Hz and 144Hz, BenQ's X35 / Acer's Z35 and Eizo's FG2421. VAs just aren't popular in the monitor space for whatever reason.
My girlfriend is using our PG279Q right now. Really a beauty, picture reproduction is great. She doesn't complain about any particularly bad light bleed. I think you will enjoy the g-sync more than you will the 144 Hz but it really depends if your rig can push the FPS to begin with.
I think the Acer is basically the same panel as the Asus. One thing Asus does well on these newer models is the little jogdial controller for the OSD. Even since my original CRT, monitors consistently have had the worst UIs to configure them. The Asus ones are so convenient to use with the jogdial.
