Monitor time

So this pc I'm building for a mate (as seen in other thread, don't know how to link it) and he's now looking for a monitor to go with it.

He'd ideally like a 1440p OLED, and he's happy with 27 inches. His original budget was around £100, but I've already explained that finding a decent OLED for that sort of money is pretty much impossible.

I've had a look around and come across the MSI MAG 274QP, which seems like a decent option at around £290–£300.

Just wondering if anyone can recommend any other models that are just as good, or possibly better, for a bit less money? If the MSI is the best option at that price, then no worries, just thought it was worth asking before settling on one.

For reference, his PC specs will be:
  • GPU: RX 9070 XT
  • CPU: Ryzen 7 9800X3D
  • Motherboard: B850

Any suggestions or recommendations would be appreciated. Cheers!
 
I have no monitor suggestions but I do suggest you emphasise to him that it is the monitor he will be looking at all the time - it is the primary interface - and as such it is worth paying for quality.
 

That is on B-Grade, I have bought 3 monitors on B grade for friends and had nothing wrong with them, make an offer and see how it goes....if he wants to save a few quid that is.
 
Soz just my odd humour, could save a few quid but it's white wouldn't bother me but I guess some folk care what the frame of the monitor looks like to match a build etc.
Yeah I couldnt have a white monitor and a black desk and pc case it would just be weird
