Help choosing monitor 27" 1440p

[Todash]

I'm trying to choose a new monitor to pair with a PowerColor Red Devil Vega 64, £500 is the most I would want to spend.

I'm currently using a BenQ G2220HD 22" 1080p, so most monitors are probably going to feel like a big upgrade.

I kind of feel like I'm going in circles now. I mostly play rpg games The Witcher, Kingdom Come: Deliverance and the like. I rarely play fast paced fps games anymore maybe Doom when I feel like it.

So far I'm looking at the Samsung C27HG70 27" and the MSI Optix MAG27CQ 27".

Is the Samsung worth the extra hundred for its added features?
Am I overlooking anything better in the 27" range?

Haven't had this much trouble since trying to choose a pair of headphones

Well, I got impatient and pulled the trigger on the C27HG70 the same day as my post, what a mistake that was haha.

This monitor is not flicker free. I've tried every setting available, even adjusted the brightness, constrast and tried dp, hdmi cables.

I'm sensitive to flickering. I used to be able to see the flicker on a 60hz CRT, thought Samsung would have produced a flicker free screen if thats what they advertised.
The eye strain and nausea is quite bad for me, even the light on the back flickers for god sake.

It's a shame, it's a stunning screen when viewing hdr videos on youtube and playing games (not sure if hdr is working due to Win10, but stunning anyway).

Looks like I'll have to see about sending it back.
Think I might hold out for the Gigabyte Aorus AD27QD reviews or go back to a TN.

Suggestions still appreciated
