I just got my new monitor in from Newegg on Thursday. It's a Acer Predator 27" 270 Hz 1440p XB273U. They had it on sale for $399. I've only had it for a few days but it's buttery smooth in D4 :)
5:38 To add onto this, if you buy a Gsync monitor with an AMD GPU you will use adaptive sync (which behaves pretty much exactly like gsync) you will also be able to use most of the premium Gsync features like variable overdrive and HDR. One IMPORTANT thing to mention is that with specific partnerships that Nvidia has with companies like Asus is that they gatekeep (lock behind) firmware/software updates through the need of an Nvidia GPU, such as the PG27AQN which blocks ULMB from being updated onto the monitor if you have an AMD GPU. This has never really been a problem before since (usually) you would update through a USB on the monitor itself or even through the DP cable. So in conclusion, in general you do not need to focus on whether the monitor is Gsync or not if you have an AMD GPU vice versa since most features work if not all, you just have to be careful with specific monitors that intentionally block firmware updates.
i have just today watched your older video about monitors and talked to a friend about this because i am building a new pc and want to get a 1440p monitor. i go to work and as i get home, making something to eat i open youtube and see this video popping up, so glad you are keeping us updated! :)
I bought the 27" Alienware monitor and absolutely love it. For me its a huge jump from 140 Hz to 240/280. I enjoy my competive gaming lik csgo but also my more casual fun games like dbd. Im still looking for optimised setting for working. Glad for your recommandations i had this monitor on my radar for quite a time and im happy with my purchase.❤
Hi Jason! Thanks for all your informative videos! Recently I put together a budget/value build -- my first PC build!. While I made some specific adjustments on a few components based on local (to Canada) pricing and availability, as well as my own personal requirements, I'm confident my system would (mostly) meet your general approval. What I appreciate from your videos is your emphasis on evaluating the different aspects of price, performance, brand quality, availability, feature set, how the components pair with the others, and then weighing the different trade-offs for my budget range and my particular use cases. Putting each component through that assessment process was valuable. Your videos were extremely helpful in my arriving at a system that is right-sized for me, at a cost that was acceptable to me. So, to reiterate -- thanks a lot! Best wishes and continued success for your channel.
Thank you Jason, I was actually looking for a new monitor and having this information really helps narrow down the search. I'd love to also see a 4K monitor video.
Glad this is helpful! And for 4k check out the Best Gaming Monitor 2023 video from a few months ago, we keep the links there updated daily as well so its got our up to date 4k recommendations (:
Man, i still got this MSI Optix @1080p with my 3090, 5900x & 64g of Ram... i really think its time i upgrade my damn monitor. i only got $250ish to spend and there are sooo many options idk what to get. This video did helped
Picked up the Acer Nitro XV272U from Microcenter recently, so happy I did! $250 for this guy is a steal! Solid build quality, color calibrated, G-Sync works. Vouch +1 for this. Thanks for covering this monitor, surprised channels like Hardware Unboxed haven't talked about it.
So glad to see someone say this. I have a 4090 and still have no intention of going 4k. Believe it or not, a lot of demanding titles cant run at 165hz at 4k, max quality. Id much rather have a smooth gaming experience than a few more pixels unless i had to use a giant screen. 1440p is the sweet spot.
This is something to kinda keep in the back of my mind. Due to space, I'm kinda limited to 24" panels tops, and all of the recommended ones are at least 27. I'll be sticking to 1080p for now, but if there is/will be a good 24" 1440p panel out there, then I might consider it.
There is AOC Q24G2A, 1440p 165hz IPS, but so far it is only available in europe AFAIK (and in China). I've bought one myself, waiting for it to get delivered. Really wanted that high ppi, cause 92~ 1080p ppi just feels too low for me these days. Side effects of having 27" 4k as a second monitor i guess...
2 very important things to mention: 1.) Make sure to inform yourself about what panel type you need for your specific needs (gaming, work, watching movies + room brightness, angle etc are all important factors that can ruin your experience if not taken into consideration when buying a monitor). 2.) Be aware that, when you buy a higher refresh rate 1440p monitor, your GPU might not be able to fully utilize the high hz rate. My 6700XT doesnt come close to handling 120hz on high settings in modern AAA titles. And buying a higher hertz rate 1440p screen will basically force you to always buy a stronger GPU if u want to fully utilize the hertz rate in modern demanding games. In the end you didnt spend more money on a high refresh rate screen just to lower the settings in a game, right? Buying those monitors is a "bigger" decision than it might seem and has a significant impact on your set up 😅
I was able to get a 1440p 144hz ASUS strix 27” monitor for somewhere under $200 on sale last fall. Was happy with that to pair with my 3060ti. I am happy as a clam with this combo for now. Big upgrade from a 1080p monitor with a gtx 1660 gpu.
@@eeoui0334 Yes, even if your GPU doesn't put out the maximum that the monitor is capable of. It's still a good idea to get as good a monitor as you can. After all, that's what you will spend most of your time looking at. If and when you upgrade your GPU, having a good quality, high refresh rate panel will continue to be a worthwhile buy, so long as the panel really is good quality and that includes what support you get. Check warranties for example carefully and avoid ones which only last for a year or so.
1440p is the way to go. Most 4k monitors just aren't there yet, and the ones that are at the level of quality are just too expensive. I have the Gigabyte M28U and got in for $520 but the HDMI 2.1 implementation isn't full bandwidth and only achieves signal parity because of display stream compression. Most 4k monitors have cut down/gimped HDMI 2.1 connections (24 gbps) and the PS5 does not support Display Stream Compression so it can only output at 4:2:2 120hz Not 4:4:4 RGB 120hz. Then moving up to 32" 4k monitors, many of them still have inferior input delay and pixel response times compared to 1440p monitors, especially at 60hz. I do not see any tangible benefits for visual clarity when I swap from a 27" 1440p monitor to a 28" 4k monitor. I have exhaustedly tested a variety of content on PC, PS5, and Series X on both the Gigabyte m27Q 1440p monitor and the Gogabyte M28U 4k monitor and the pixel density isn't advantageous at all in my opinion, at least not in games. At 27", 1440p is the perfect sweet spot for visual clarity, performance, fidelity and price. 4k monitors just aren't where they need to be, unless you have deep pockets.
I bought an LG C2 55 for my TV. It has given me pause on buying an OLED for PC. It looks great but the 2nd gen OLED PC monitors need to deal with text and be more multi-functional. I have the M27QX and I think it looks better at times than my xbox X on the Oled TV. Don't underestimate the high refresh rate. I also noticed eye strain in the dark room with the Oled TV, base lighting is a must I think.
@@The23rdGamer The only thing is there is some IPS glow around the edges of mine. But I have kind of gotten used to it, the contrast is great and I have 6750 XT and most of the old games I play max out on medium to high settings. Diablo 4 runs great and looks great. I also use it for work with no problems. For the price you can't go wrong.
if your age is older than 30, you can not distinguish more than 120hz monitor refresh rate. Do not waste your money on 240Hz. I would just stick to 75Hz. 120Hz or more monitors just for teenage who can quickly reflexes. When you get older, your reflexes gets dull and faded. Go figure!!
I bought the Acer Nitro XV272UZ, it lacks G-sync, but is 240Hz(270Hz OC) (not 170Hz from the non-Z version you suggested) cost was about $220 when removing 25% VAT and converting currency (2990SEK). It works really nice with my A750.
@@cathdan It supports DP1.4 instead of 1.2 and can do 240Hz(270Hz OC) instead of just 170Hz. It's weight is only 4kg, instead of 5kg and draws a tiny bit more power in HDR.
One thing that is really making me upset while shopping for a monitor right now is the widespread lack of DisplayPort 1.4 in monitors. Why would you make a 1440p 170Hz 10 bit color monitor and then put a DisplayPort 1.2 port in there??? You can't even run it at those settings with that version, you either have to run it at 170Hz and 8 bit color or 120Hz and 10 bit color. All they have to do is add a DisplayPort 1.4, but I guess they are too cheap to do that. It is completely ridiculous that they are selling monitors that cannot even be used at their max settings that they advertise. All of the midrange monitors listed in this video would be a great option if it weren't for the fact that all of them only have DisplayPort 1.2. Please tell me that I'm not alone in recognizing this ridiculous situation.
Great video Jason I just wish you would have listed the differences between the odyssey G7 and G6, the G6 is a smart monitor and also has HDMI 2.1 the G7 has a hdmi 2.0. That could be a dealbreaker for some
I personally haven't tested it and I haven't seen reviews of it I trust. In the US market the price isn't great, but if you're outside the US and its cheaper in your market you can consider it
Hey Jason, i've been watching you for a while now, and I think it'd be really beneficial to the community if you made something like a discord server to connect your viewers. Not sure if you'd have time to manage smth like that but it's worth a shot! Keep up the great content!
Hello! We have thought about it but right now our three person two cat team is stretched too thin to take on a discord sever of that size. We have however just started Channel Memberships, you can check it out by clicking the "join" button under the videos. It allows easier communication through comments and right now we are doing a once a month live stream where we answer questions live. We are planing to start a channel member discord soon as that will be small enough for us to moderate for the moment. And of course I work hard to read all the comment and answer as many as I can no matter what outside the membership too (;
currently running LG 27GL850 and 27GP850-B both were 500$ ish at that time but bought them as demo units so got about 10-20% off. Probably going to stick with LG in the future but current offering for 1440p that are "better" but not needed right now are 27" OLED and 32" Ultra gear model. Gonna wait till 27" Oleds drops in price. otherwise happy with these 2 IPS panels and almost the same screens.
Just got the 27 OLED LG and it sucks big time.... The text looks really and I mean really bad, its like I need prescription glasses to read it. Also headackes from it, only upside are the colors, which in truth look a bit too saturated for me.
As someone from EU, these lower prices are not really an option but Ive just gotten myself a LG27GN880-B for 330€ which was the best thing I couldve gotten when taking account for not needing to buy a monitor arm, couldnt be happier with it
I bought a 1440p capable card due to the vram requirements of 2023 but I dont want to be spoiled so I'm sticking to 1080p 165hz. The cost that goes along maintaining 1440p AAA gaming feels exponential overtime.
Hey Jason, I live in Albania, and I found a Samsung Odyssey G55A - LED 27" for $290 (after 20% VAT). Do you think I should buy it? I will be getting a 6800xt and I was wondering if it would be a good purchase at 165 Hz.
I play fighting games mostly for hours at a time.. I am afraid to get an OLED because I think the huds will burn in, but maybe I am wrong. I dig that refresh rate though.
They have made huge strides on that and I wouldn't worry about it anymore. We have an older C1 and have never had an issue, and the new ones are even better. But of course I always recommend buying from a retailer with good customer service just in case issues arise.
Hey there! I''ve had a Acer Predator XB271HU for a handful of years now. 1440p 144hz (165 oc).....Recently did a new build with a 7900 xtx. I saw they have the updated hdmi 2.1a and display port 2.1 on the gpu. Is it worth upgrading the monitor for one with the updated ports? Or maybe just upgrading for something like the gigabyte m27q x just for the higher refresh rate? Thanks!
Why is the M27Q-X always out of stock ;w; I saw one at Microcenter about four months ago and I didn't buy it at the time -- kicking myself. Is there a good chance Gigabyte is making a new generation of the M27Q-X? Like it's successor? Information for this is basically nonexistent as far as I've been able to find.
Hi, can you please help me decide which monitor I should get? I'm between buying odyssey G5 144hz 27 inches and AOC C27G2ZE. Which one is more worth buying and generally better? Thank you!
Ive been using my Asus rog pg278qr for the last 5 years and its been the best monitor ive ever owned, it was the jump from 1080p75hz to 1440p 144hz was insane but im looking for a modern screen now with an IPS panel and 240hz over my TN with 144/165. But where i live *THEY'RE ALL OUT OF STOCK* and i'd hate to dish out 1k on the asus juicer monitors but damn..they do look great...
i had the same monitor 😊 but now i upgradet from a 980ti to an rtx4080 so im looking for a new one, but have absolutly no clue about va, ips etc.pp ... would you tell me wich one you would buy nowadays? i cant decide because my lack of knowledge and don't get ver, smart in the internet too everything is as good as bad it seems 😅 so my new pc is sleeping since nearly 2 months now... glad if you had an idea for me 😊 budget between 700 an 1k (the money i spared by not buying a 4090 😅) thanks and if you can't help still all the best to you, cheers 😊
@@Huafhax with that budget i would get either the alienware 280hz 1440p monitor, the asus 360hz 1440p ips monitor or the 240hz asus OLED monitor. all 3 are excellent choices.
@@smiIingman thank's a lot man! 👍🏻😁 i am afraid of oled a little bit because of this whole burn in thing etc. but from an 980ti and tn panel i think i will be more than impressed without oled by going to a 4080 and away from tn 😅 would you be so kind to tell me zhe names of this monitors? because wehen i type asus for example there are 100 variations with 170hz fast ips up to 300hz with only one letter changed in the name 😅🙈 and i am too stupid to use google it seemes lol.. that's why i asked here 😜 if you have no time ill try to get the right one anyhow 😅 your answer helped me a lot even without names, hopefully find the right one then haha Thanks a lot for taking your time and helping me out!! 😁 have a good one, cheers
@@smiIingman just if your'e interested, ordered the g7, the other ones where out of stock and it costed me 444,- so if it is as amazing as most people say, i spared some money for the second monitor i'll need asap 👍🏻😅 maybe then i can get one of them you mentioned 🤔😅 and thank you again, cheers
you had a link for the HP Omen 27QS but you didnt talk about it in your video. how is this monitor at $369 and have 240hz and 2560x1440p is this monitor actually as good as its specs?
Can you please suggest which ultrawide monitor I should pair with my PC for a dual monitor setup, I already have 75hz 1440P lenovo which I'm planning to use vertically later, my PC configuration is 5600x/6750xt/32GB RAM, I don't play latest AAA games, some older titles, I'm confused between 34 Inch UW1440P 21:9 & between 28-32 Inch 4K
Would you recommend a 32" 2K monitor for gaming and watching videos/movie ? I know that 32" has less pixel density but it the difference that noticeable?
Hi! Between the Samsung G50A and the LG 27GP850-B, which do you think is better? I checked online and they have a few advantages over one another and it’s only a $20 price difference.
how bad is the onn 27in curved 1440p 165hz montior my friend gave me it for 100 bucks. is it worth using or should i upgrade money is not an issue but should i replace it ?
I am unable to find the right monitor for my Triple Monitor setup (80% work / 20% games. - 27 inch! - Triple 32 Monitors would be way too big - 4k (I would love it but then even with a 4070TI i would get not enough FPS right?) - 1440p - Games would run fine... but i would lose out on sweet 4K for work purposes. Or is 2K coming from 1080p enough? Especially because of 4K upscaling since it would be too small anyway, especially on a 27 inch. - OLED - I would love the black levels but it seems to be a complete deal breaker because of the bad text quality due to the subpixel layout. Is this true? Its 80% for work, browsing the web, spreadsheets.... so would i regret getting 3 OLED monitors? - Budget: 3000€ in total What is important to me: SDR colors! I really dont care for HDR especially since its really not usable in regular windows desktop usage anyway. I want the best possible colors, contrast and black levels when browsing the web, watching youtube and so on. I have no use for FALD if its not resulting in a superior windows / SDR picture. I am just not sure if i should pick 4K or 1440p. And because of OLED being so dominant its impossible to find really good Non-OLED 27inch 1440p monitors these days. In terms of 4K i would have gotten the LG 27PG950 but its no longer in stock anywhere and there is no sight of any true successor. Gigabyte M28U / M27U seem decent... but i am just not sure. Contrast and brightness seems soooo low. Thanks in advance! Looking forward to your recommendations!
Hello I have a Alienware Aurora R12 with an intel i5, and 3080. Should I really focus on a G sync monitor ? Also as far as 1440p any good recommendations based on build quality or customers service/warranty? Thank you!!
I have the rx 6600 😢 but I wanted to experience 1440p even at sub 60fps. Would it make sense to buy this ultra cheap 100hz 1440p monitor just for now. Maybe I’ll also buy a 1080p 144hz one.
It really doesn't make sense to get any 1440p monitor with that card IMP sorry. But now would be a great time to upgrade your GPU! There are big sales going on. See the video we just launched on the channel. I'll bet you could drop a new GPU in for pretty cheap. Then you can play proper 1440p when you like!
What do you think about 1080p MONITOR COOLER MASTER CMI-GA241 23.8" 100Hz? I need a monitor on a budget and this one seems to be the cheapest 100Hz i found
What do you think about this monitor? Main use is for Xbox series X and games like Fortnite, COD etc. I’m looking for the best of the best without overpaying for features that are limited by the console

Is there a 1440p monitor recommend
The lg 27” oled accepts the full 48gbps hdmi 2.1 vs the asus oled which is limited. This was crucial for me when making my choice between the two.
Im so happy that I bought a gigabyte m27q-pro for $299 I was using a 1080p monitor and holy dolly what a change! Lovin it so far!
Nice! Thanks for sharing
I bought an LG C2 55 for my TV. It has given me pause on buying an OLED for PC. It looks great but the 2nd gen OLED PC monitors need to deal with text and be more multi-functional. I have the M27QX and I think it looks better at times than my xbox X on the Oled TV. Don't underestimate the high refresh rate. I also noticed eye strain in the dark room with the Oled TV, base lighting is a must I think.
So you like the M27Q-X? This information is hugely useful.
thank you for sharing!
@@The23rdGamer The only thing is there is some IPS glow around the edges of mine. But I have kind of gotten used to it, the contrast is great and I have 6750 XT and most of the old games I play max out on medium to high settings. Diablo 4 runs great and looks great. I also use it for work with no problems. For the price you can't go wrong.
Perfect time for this bid. I got a 6800xt and now im planning on upgrading from 1080 to 1440.
Awesome! Thats a great GPU for it
Another great video. Thanks for your work, man! Have a great weekend, Jason & crew! 💯🙌
Thank you Thomas!! Have a great weekend too!
Always a good day when PC builder posts a new vid
Hope you enjoy!!
Would be great if you could mention the amount of max nits each one of them can reach. Especially for the OLED panels
if your age is older than 30, you can not distinguish more than 120hz monitor refresh rate. Do not waste your money on 240Hz. I would just stick to 75Hz. 120Hz or more monitors just for teenage who can quickly reflexes. When you get older, your reflexes gets dull and faded. Go figure!!
I bought the Acer Nitro XV272UZ, it lacks G-sync, but is 240Hz(270Hz OC) (not 170Hz from the non-Z version you suggested) cost was about $220 when removing 25% VAT and converting currency (2990SEK).
It works really nice with my A750.
What is the diff between this and xv275u
@@cathdan It supports DP1.4 instead of 1.2 and can do 240Hz(270Hz OC) instead of just 170Hz. It's weight is only 4kg, instead of 5kg and draws a tiny bit more power in HDR.
@@magnusnilsson9792 hi so which is better since both are same price in my country

What do you think about the KOORUI Gaming Monitor 27 inch 240hz for 333€? Is the image quality, response time and other things good?
I actually think the m27q-x is superior to the aw2723df, the aw has so much ips glow and blb it can be very distracting.
One thing that is really making me upset while shopping for a monitor right now is the widespread lack of DisplayPort 1.4 in monitors. Why would you make a 1440p 170Hz 10 bit color monitor and then put a DisplayPort 1.2 port in there??? You can't even run it at those settings with that version, you either have to run it at 170Hz and 8 bit color or 120Hz and 10 bit color. All they have to do is add a DisplayPort 1.4, but I guess they are too cheap to do that. It is completely ridiculous that they are selling monitors that cannot even be used at their max settings that they advertise. All of the midrange monitors listed in this video would be a great option if it weren't for the fact that all of them only have DisplayPort 1.2. Please tell me that I'm not alone in recognizing this ridiculous situation.
I bought a 27 inch Benq Mobiuz 2710q to pair with my 5800x3d and 6750xt. Im Loving it. TY to share your knowledge and love with this community!

How are the FPS on average with the 6750XT on 1440pm

Great video Jason I just wish you would have listed the differences between the odyssey G7 and G6, the G6 is a smart monitor and also has HDMI 2.1 the G7 has a hdmi 2.0. That could be a dealbreaker for some
Is the lenovo g27q-30 a good budget 1440p monitor?
I personally haven't tested it and I haven't seen reviews of it I trust. In the US market the price isn't great, but if you're outside the US and its cheaper in your market you can consider it
Hey Jason, i've been watching you for a while now, and I think it'd be really beneficial to the community if you made something like a discord server to connect your viewers. Not sure if you'd have time to manage smth like that but it's worth a shot! Keep up the great content!
Hello! We have thought about it but right now our three person two cat team is stretched too thin to take on a discord sever of that size. We have however just started Channel Memberships, you can check it out by clicking the "join" button under the videos. It allows easier communication through comments and right now we are doing a once a month live stream where we answer questions live. We are planing to start a channel member discord soon as that will be small enough for us to moderate for the moment. And of course I work hard to read all the comment and answer as many as I can no matter what outside the membership too (;
wow JUST as i’m looking for a new 144p 240hz to replace my 144hz he that stopped working, you never fail to help when i need it ♥️
Love it when we nail the timing! (;
currently running LG 27GL850 and 27GP850-B both were 500$ ish at that time but bought them as demo units so got about 10-20% off. Probably going to stick with LG in the future but current offering for 1440p that are "better" but not needed right now are 27" OLED and 32" Ultra gear model. Gonna wait till 27" Oleds drops in price. otherwise happy with these 2 IPS panels and almost the same screens.
Just got the 27 OLED LG and it sucks big time.... The text looks really and I mean really bad, its like I need prescription glasses to read it. Also headackes from it, only upside are the colors, which in truth look a bit too saturated for me.
Hey how is the contrast ratio on the gp850? Is it really bad in games with dark blacks?
As someone from EU, these lower prices are not really an option but Ive just gotten myself a LG27GN880-B for 330€ which was the best thing I couldve gotten when taking account for not needing to buy a monitor arm, couldnt be happier with it
330EUR, holy hell. I can only find ones that are 700+ around me..
I bought a 1440p capable card due to the vram requirements of 2023 but I dont want to be spoiled so I'm sticking to 1080p 165hz. The cost that goes along maintaining 1440p AAA gaming feels exponential overtime.
Really appreciate your videos. They are such good resources for looking through a bunch of monitors all at once. You enthusiasm is infectious.
Glad you like them! Thank you for sharing I appreciate it
The Asus TUF VG27AQML1A will be my next monitor. 27” 240hz 1440p ips for $399
What do you think of the Dell 27 Gaming Monitor - G2724D? It is 249dollars at Dell.
Perfect timing since I've just started looking for what 1440p monitor to get as an upgrade from my 1080p monitor
Love it when the timing is good!
Hey Jason,
I live in Albania, and I found a Samsung Odyssey G55A - LED 27" for $290 (after 20% VAT). Do you think I should buy it? I will be getting a 6800xt and I was wondering if it would be a good purchase at 165 Hz.
I wouldn't get a VA panel. IPS screens just look better overall. I have had the opportunity to compare both VA and IPS side by side.
I play fighting games mostly for hours at a time.. I am afraid to get an OLED because I think the huds will burn in, but maybe I am wrong. I dig that refresh rate though.
They have made huge strides on that and I wouldn't worry about it anymore. We have an older C1 and have never had an issue, and the new ones are even better. But of course I always recommend buying from a retailer with good customer service just in case issues arise.
Yeah I heard its even recommended to use like liquid 3D backgrounds so the taskbar doesnt "burn in"..Seems like a big downer when buying OLED.
@Greenalex89 We've never needed to with our C1, and again newer OLED is even better around it. So personally I wouldn't worry about it
@@PCBuilderChannel Next time I win the lottery I will buy an OLED for sure then 🤗
What do you think about the LG 27GP850P?
I don't know how you knew, but I was just searching for new 1440p monitors last night and couldn't find a newer video, life saver
We were hoping this was good timing for folks!
Jason so the alienware or Samsung g7! Which one would you pick?

Any gaming 1440 monitors with mini LED backlight?
Hey there! I''ve had a Acer Predator XB271HU for a handful of years now. 1440p 144hz (165 oc).....Recently did a new build with a 7900 xtx. I saw they have the updated hdmi 2.1a and display port 2.1 on the gpu. Is it worth upgrading the monitor for one with the updated ports? Or maybe just upgrading for something like the gigabyte m27q x just for the higher refresh rate? Thanks!
I already bought the LG 27GP850-B for $346.99 on Amazon for my monitor upgrade from 1080 but still love these videos 🔥🔥
Nice! Glad you got what you needed, and are enjoying the content (:
Why is the M27Q-X always out of stock ;w; I saw one at Microcenter about four months ago and I didn't buy it at the time -- kicking myself.
Is there a good chance Gigabyte is making a new generation of the M27Q-X? Like it's successor? Information for this is basically nonexistent as far as I've been able to find.
Would love to know too!
i have a 4080 with a i9 13900 should i get a high hz 1440p monitor or a 4k monitor?
1440p 240hz if u want to play competive games, fps and Story games. 4K if u only want to play Story games.
Hi, can you please help me decide which monitor I should get? I'm between buying odyssey G5 144hz 27 inches and AOC C27G2ZE. Which one is more worth buying and generally better? Thank you!

When did the PS5 start supporting Freesync? I thought it only supported Vesa’s VRR tech over HDMI 2.1
Ive been using my Asus rog pg278qr for the last 5 years and its been the best monitor ive ever owned, it was the jump from 1080p75hz to 1440p 144hz was insane but im looking for a modern screen now with an IPS panel and 240hz over my TN with 144/165.
But where i live *THEY'RE ALL OUT OF STOCK* and i'd hate to dish out 1k on the asus juicer monitors but damn..they do look great...
i had the same monitor 😊 but now i upgradet from a 980ti to an rtx4080 so im looking for a new one, but have absolutly no clue about va, ips etc.pp ... would you tell me wich one you would buy nowadays? i cant decide because my lack of knowledge and don't get ver, smart in the internet too everything is as good as bad it seems 😅 so my new pc is sleeping since nearly 2 months now... glad if you had an idea for me 😊 budget between 700 an 1k (the money i spared by not buying a 4090 😅) thanks and if you can't help still all the best to you, cheers 😊
@@Huafhax with that budget i would get either the alienware 280hz 1440p monitor, the asus 360hz 1440p ips monitor or the 240hz asus OLED monitor. all 3 are excellent choices.

Can you please suggest which ultrawide monitor I should pair with my PC for a dual monitor setup, I already have 75hz 1440P lenovo which I'm planning to use vertically later, my PC configuration is 5600x/6750xt/32GB RAM, I don't play latest AAA games, some older titles, I'm confused between 34 Inch UW1440P 21:9 & between 28-32 Inch 4K
Just bought a 1440p 32 inch monitor for 340 EUR (285 without tax). Very excited for it to arrive :)
I saw aoc monitor curved, 32" 2k 165 hz, from microcenter, how are the aoc monitors?
Hey, which monitor would you recommend?
Gigabyte G27Q
AOC Q27G2S/D
I live in New Zealand so shipping is very expensive here unfortunately
Would you recommend a 32" 2K monitor for gaming and watching videos/movie ? I know that 32" has less pixel density but it the difference that noticeable?
Hi guys between Alienware aw2723df / Gigabyte M27Q / Acer Nitro XV272UV which the best for gaming and watch movie
With almost 200usd will you suggest cooler master gm27-fqs????
Should you use dp port when you have hdmi port?
Is the normal 27Q still good? my country doesn't have the pro on sale
Hi! Between the Samsung G50A and the LG 27GP850-B, which do you think is better? I checked online and they have a few advantages over one another and it’s only a $20 price difference.
how bad is the onn 27in curved 1440p 165hz montior my friend gave me it for 100 bucks. is it worth using or should i upgrade money is not an issue but should i replace it ?
I am unable to find the right monitor for my Triple Monitor setup (80% work / 20% games.
- 27 inch! - Triple 32 Monitors would be way too big
- 4k (I would love it but then even with a 4070TI i would get not enough FPS right?)
- 1440p - Games would run fine... but i would lose out on sweet 4K for work purposes. Or is 2K coming from 1080p enough? Especially because of 4K upscaling since it would be too small anyway, especially on a 27 inch.
- OLED - I would love the black levels but it seems to be a complete deal breaker because of the bad text quality due to the subpixel layout. Is this true? Its 80% for work, browsing the web, spreadsheets.... so would i regret getting 3 OLED monitors?
- Budget: 3000€ in total
What is important to me: SDR colors!
I really dont care for HDR especially since its really not usable in regular windows desktop usage anyway. I want the best possible colors, contrast and black levels when browsing the web, watching youtube and so on. I have no use for FALD if its not resulting in a superior windows / SDR picture.
I am just not sure if i should pick 4K or 1440p. And because of OLED being so dominant its impossible to find really good Non-OLED 27inch 1440p monitors these days.
In terms of 4K i would have gotten the LG 27PG950 but its no longer in stock anywhere and there is no sight of any true successor.
Gigabyte M28U / M27U seem decent... but i am just not sure. Contrast and brightness seems soooo low.
Thanks in advance! Looking forward to your recommendations!
Almost done, just looking for the monitor for my build. This channel has been so helpful for first timers

I have the rx 6600 😢 but I wanted to experience 1440p even at sub 60fps. Would it make sense to buy this ultra cheap 100hz 1440p monitor just for now. Maybe I’ll also buy a 1080p 144hz one.
It really doesn't make sense to get any 1440p monitor with that card IMP sorry. But now would be a great time to upgrade your GPU! There are big sales going on. See the video we just launched on the channel. I'll bet you could drop a new GPU in for pretty cheap. Then you can play proper 1440p when you like!

any of these monitors are good for watching movies too?
Nice video! Thanks! What can you say about MSI 27" 170 Hz G272QPF? Is it better than Acer Nitro XV272U?
What do you think about MSI G27C4 E2? I was able to get one for around 185 USD.
What do you think about this monitor? Main use is for Xbox series X and games like Fortnite, COD etc. I’m looking for the best of the best without overpaying for features that are limited by the console
