Hi
I've been trying to choose a new monitor for my new PC build.
I'm going from an old BenQ 1080p from 2011 so it should be a good upgrade no matter what but the range of choice and the incredibly bizarre naming conventions really dont make for easy comparison.
From a combination of advice on this forum and online research I think I'm down to the following:
27" 1440p monitors.
MSI G274QPX or Cooler Master GP27Q. Both the same price of just under £400 on OCUK. I also considered LG 27GP850-B which is a lot cheaper but I assume must be less good due to that lesser price.
So of the 2 main options, what would you think best?
I've watched you tube vids by Unboxed which rated the MSI and noticed the Cooler Master was higher in every single category aside from one colour one and contrast in the tests results. Yet the same channel reviewed the coolermaster as having some problems with HDR and synch not working at the same time and some mention of flickering?? Then there's another vid review complaining the Cooler Master is too slow for gaming!!!!
At this point I am convinced there is no monitor that doesnt come with some ransom drawback so please let me know which of these you would go for, and if you think both ar e a bad choice for the £400 ish range of 27" 1440p monitors then please suggest me your choice,
thanks
