Monitor Upgrade from 27" 1440p

Anima

Hey guys,

I currently have this: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B071JH67R8/ref=pe_3187911_185740111_TE_item for a couple of years.

I'm mostly pretty happy with it. The refresh rate is certainly high enough to be smooth in most games. 27in also feels big enough but I've never really used 32". Only thing I'll say is the picture could be better. The colours aren't amazing and never seems to be right no matter what settings I have. I guess this is due to the TN panel.

So where to go from here? It's kind of hard to justify 500e on a monitor with very similar specs i.e 27" 1440p 144Hz. Although I'd like to have G-Sync or compatible if possible.

In terms of similar spec but a better panel, I'm looking at: https://www.amazon.de/gp/product/B08L6XR935?tag=rtings-de-mn-21&ie=UTF8

A 32in alternative, maybe? https://www.amazon.de/gp/product/B07TTJR48G?tag=rtings-de-mn-21&ie=UTF8

I'd appreciate any input. Monitor buying is a nightmare.

Still waiting on hardware unboxed to review that M27Q model. They are a good place to check monitor reviews though.

The msi mag274qrf-qd is supposed to be 1 of the best if you can get your hands on it.

It would be a massive step up from your current monitor, nearly double the resolution, much better viewing angles, much better colours, much higher contrast and the latest connectivity ports.

Balls linked the wrong iiyama model but it is the 1440p one.

Cheers those models do look good. Kind of reluctant to spend >500e but I guess that's what's required to get something of quality. Might wait for a few more reviews of M27Q so. https://geizhals.de/gigabyte-m27q-a2382972.html looks good value here.

I got the LG GN850 myself back at black friday. It's a great monitor that can be got cheap at times.

Usual sale prices of around €350. Managed to get 1 from the German Amazon warehouse for €230.
