Another "which monitor" thread (27-28" £550 budget)

[TruffleShuffle]

The company I work for is allowing each employee to expense £330 towards a new monitor for their "home office".

An employee can basically get any monitor they want, essentially with a £330 discount

So...

• I'm looking for 27-28"
• I've always been an Nvidia user, so G-Sync compatibility would be a bonus.
• A powered USB-C port in the back would be very helpful (day-to-day use connected to a Macbook)
• Nothing ugly, this monitor needs to sit in the bedroom, so pass the wife test.
• Easy to switch between inputs (from work laptop to home PC)

Beyond that i'm really hoping people can tell me what i should be needing!

Budget... I guess i'm willing to put in another couple hundred myself so... £~550

Preferences for panels like VA or IPS? Resolutions?

This is where i'm looking for advice. In my head the higher the resolution, the better, but that doesnt seem to be reflected in what monitors are offering these days. And i have no idea on VA or IPS!

I would say that usage will be as a 2nd monitor for work (just browser based stuff so nothing taxing here), and as a gaming monitor for my PC. I play almost exclusively single-player games with the exception of Rocket League. So recent gaming would be :

• Rocket Legue
  
• AC: Valhalla
  
• Ghost Recon : Breakpoint
  
• Deathloop
• Age of Empires 4

Looking at this years releases the ones that stand out for me are:

• S.T.A.L.K.E.R 2
• Company of Heroes 3
• Homeworld 3

Hope this info helps!

Thanks for the advice everyone. I really liked the look of the MSI that was recommended so I snapped one up.

I've been wanting a decent monitor for a while now so I'm really excited to finally get one and for basically just £120 of my own money!!
