Good gaming monitor that can also take HDMI for PS3/PS4/XBone?

  Yeah my current monitor is a Dell 1650x1080, about 8 years old.  Colors are getting really washed out and I'm starting to get some faint lines about 3/4 inch wide running down the screen over that last couple years.  As far as black levels my monitor is horrible lol.
  
  That Dell you linked there doesn't have the rage reviews some of those Asus monitors have but it does have everything I need and anything would probably be better than what I have now.  Could be a good stepping stone until 4k rigs and games are commonplace.

  You can generally assume that G-sync support adds about $150 to the monitor price without improving monitor quality.  G-sync does basically the same thing as FreeSync, which doesn't add to the monitor price.   Because of that, if you want adaptive sync (which is reasonable), you want AMD outside of ultra high end systems where $150 isn't a big deal.  G-sync isn't the route I'd go in preparation for a new rig unless you're a die-hard Nvidia fanboy who would buy Nvidia even if something identical from AMD cost $150 less.
  
  What I have is this:

  That's an IPS monitor rather than TN, which means much higher image quality than either of the monitors linked so far.  Like the others, it is 144 Hz and 2560x1440 resolution, as well as an HDMI port.  It's also quite a bit cheaper than the one linked by the original poster, in addition to being better quality.
