27" 1440p monitor around £300

As per the title I am looking for a 27" 1440p monitor around £300.
Ideally a good response time at 144hz+. It would be for mostly gaming.

After looking at many reviews I was looking at the GIGABYTE M27Q - which I can find for around £329.

However I can see this on offer - so its this a good option.:

or

is this even better:

I note the later is a VA - I do mostly game and in a lit room, so would the IPS one be much better ?

The M27Q was also on top of my list, as it got good reviews on various ratings sites too. But the MSI G273QF has good discount at the moment and reviews are similar.
Have just realised the MAG272 is curved - so maybe that's not for me.

Will keep an eye on the Dell one, assuming I can be patient enough to await a price drop.

It was £291 the other day, just to give you an idea of what to expect.

So will add this to the list of things to check, behind of course the hourly checking of Telegram for any RTX 3xxx card :cry:

Good luck! I was able to get a 3060 Ti fairly easily last week, first time trying and it all went through smoothly.

Off topic - but keep missing Telegram alert - maybe lucky one day. Will look into Dell discount though. tks
