Monitor Upgrade advice

[ak22]

Looking for 1440p 27 inch monitor I have set a budget of £300-£400.
I will using it for gaming, browsing the internet a little bit of work but not much.

I don't like monitors that are to glossy, I have been looking at oled. So far and found this one it's 3rd gen w-oled I assume that's ok?

Hi have a look at monitors unboxed on YouTube. They do very good reviews.

Here is a 2026 roundup video

I have watched it already it already thanks, the only one in my price range is the Alienware AW2726DM, which is more expensive than the gigabyte but lacks true HDR and brightness.

But i don't have my screen that bright anyway? Do OLEDS generally need to be brighter than IPS due to the dark blacks?

Well i received the monitor its nice but I'm not a fan of the glossy coating, the reflections are distracting. I will send it back to Amazon and go for the MO27Q28G instead ..

Sent the the MO27Q28G it had terrible grey scale banding. I'm glad i kept the GIGABYTE GO27Q24G, I had them side buy side only difference i noticed was slightly clearer text on the MO27Q28G. Kinda used to the glossy coating now its a great monitor for £339

Sounds like you ended up with the better compromise then. Glossy coatings can be distracting at first, but £339 seems like a strong result.
