Hi, I have a 27 inch 144hz 1080p monitor and looking to add a second thats 1440p. Would anyone be able to recommend one at a decent price? I would like at least 144hz and a size of 27 inches.
Thanks in advance.

Samsung G7, the refresh rate feels so good in competitive FPS games. I'm not quite sold on the HDR performance or the curve but I love the combination of resolution and refresh rate.
I'm running a BenQ EX3203R. I find it adequate, but being a VA panel it has a fair bit of ghosting when quickly changing from dark to light. Most of the time it's fine and you barely notice it, but in darker games or scrolling through a dark webpage, it blurs considerably.
That said, I'm running it with g-sync turned on and despite not being on the supported list, it works fine.
Given the choice again, I'd likely get a Samsung G7 though.

Depends on what you mean by "decent"
I'd probably by this:

With the G7 being a VA, albeit a newer generation, surely it must exhibit at least some ghosting as well?
Samsung has managed to almost completely remove that VA "black smear" in those panels.
But that curvature is just extreme and causing lots of visible distortion in normal non-gaming use.

The G7 apparently has got the blur down to really acceptable levels, though I haven't seen it in person.
As a side note, I've found that rtings.com have exceptional reviews for monitors (and other things). Here's the G7 review:

Have a look at this thread some good info on the LG 27gp850-b

Get a Samsung JG50 for 1440p, been running the older version for a few years and all my friends have one as well. It's an excellent monitor for gaming and a good price too, but the only downside is it's not QLED so the colours are not as nice. However, they do a QLED version as well but it's double the price (which was unjustified to me).

What's a decent price to you?
Thanks that’s really useful! I’ve never tried a curved monitor before does it feel massively different?

Could you tell me what card you have? Cause if Nvidia, then G-sync is paramount. If G-Sync is paramount, go for the
ASUS ROG Swift PG279QE (used around £300-400). Had one, sold it cause stopped gaming, realised I wanted to game, bought another XD

I'd take a solid look at the LG Ultra Gear line, don't know which one specifically but you won't be disappointed and get what you pay for!
Have you thought of a ultra wide 1440p. I have the ilyama ultra wide 1440 and it’s an absolute bargain at the moment.

I’ve had it a while and I’m totally impressed with what you get for the money.
1 point to note as it’s a flat IPS panel not curved.

Yeah it was very different at first but once the eyes adjust ive found it to be great, both for the gaming and office work that I have to do on it with the whole work from home situation. In fact, I think my eyes are less fatigued at the end of the day compared to what they were like back in the office. It could also be the better resolution but who knows!
