Having a really hard time choosing a new 1440p 144hz monitor, narrowed it down to this selection if anyone has any recommendations or general information .

(Current monitors, BenQ XL2411T(main) / LG E2351(Second)

Yeah its a tough one, i was originally looking at the MPG27CQ but the RGB/Stand are really killing it for me. The LG is a very minimal design which is quite pleasing to the eye but (here's the but) i do not want to sacrifice performance compared to other monitors as i notice the LG is "5ms(Faster) 1ms with Motion Blur Reduction" compared to native 1ms grey to grey. Not sure how the two compare as i have not bought a monitor in around 5 years.

I've went from 32" @ 1440p down to 27" @ 1440p and glad I did, much more suitable size.

Is there any particular reason you want the more expensive Samsung on the list? I picked up the LC27JG50Q which is 144hz and I absolutely love it to be honest, it's been a great purchase and much cheaper than the HDR one you're looking at.

Was on sale so ended up in my budget.

Hmm i have a feeling i will end up settling for the "MPG27CQ" as it seems to be the best rounded for what a want (apart from the pointless game sense).

*Something inside me is whispering 32", not sure if it just because i prefer the look of the LG"

Appreciate all the feedback and knowledge always hard to move to a new monitor after so long.

Are VA panels as responsive as TN panels now?

The more reading up I do the more confusing it becomes, I have read that va are slower (ms) than ips/tn even though the monitor I have been wanting to get said 1ms (mpg27cq). So my main issue here is which will be the best for gaming as that's all on do on my pc

VA 1ms
Ips 4ms

The reason I wanted to switch from tn was because I got tired of the white wash look but it does not seem a simple upgrade.

*Does every VA panel suffer from ghosting? A lot of information i have found seems to point to yes which i find strange.

Narrowed it down a bit more now after a lot more research, seems some of the best reviewed ones are 3/4 years old even now.
