Monitor recommendations? - 27” IPS 144Hz+ 1ms Response Time (G-Sync compatible) - £300-450 *Not Asus

[Big Boss94]

Afternoon all,

need to get myself a new monitor as the title says along with the specifications listed.

I’d like to avoid Asus monitors as I had so many nightmares with a Swift PG278Q in the past.and it’s really put me offer there monitors.

I’m learning towards LG, Samsung, Benq, Dell + any other recommendations.

G-Sync would be a plus to pair with my 3080 but it’s not a necessity as well as the lowest response time possible.

Looking to spend £300-400 but I may stretch to £450 if it’s compelling enough.

Thankyou so much!
Joe

Thanks @Danny75 for such a detailed response! Super helpful, I’ll definitely look in to the BenQ!

@Deluxe1 - is the 27GP850 a refresh of the 27GL850 and are they actually available anywhere yet? Been looking at some reviews and looks pretty solid indeed.

Been just shy of 2 & 1/2 weeks since my initial post and I'm still unsure what to go for, I'm still using an old 60hz knackered Dell panel and its barely hanging on.

I've been keeping my eyes peeled for any info on the UK release of the LG 27GP850-B but I don't know if its even going to happen based on some comments I've seen. I know its been available from the Italian rainforest but I'm only willing to buy from the UK.

I've had some Samsung G7 recommendations thrown my way but I've read some negative reviews and videos and can tell its not for me.

My budget is still ideally £400 max, potential stretch to £450 if compelling enough.

The only 2 worthy contenders currently are:
- LG 27GL850-B -
https://www.overclockers.co.uk/lg-2...le-widescreen-led-gaming-monit-mo-155-lg.html
- LG 27GN800-B -
https://www.overclockers.co.uk/lg-2...-led-widescreen-gaming-monitor-mo-15y-lg.html

I can't work out the discernible difference between the 2 in all honesty. Also, which one of these is the 27GP850-B a refresh of?

I can see the AOC AG273QXP - https://www.overclockers.co.uk/aoc-...een-led-backlit-gaming-monitor-mo-05l-ao.html - is up for pre-order on OCUK but haven't seen any reviews/videos of it currently.

Cheers guys, appreciate all the help.

Joe

Hey EsaT,
cheers for the info about the GP/GL and the HDMI differences, didn’t realise that.

The AOC monitor doesn’t look to bad based on that review, suppose it’s just a matter of what hits the market first!
