New monitor advice

linwelin · 14 Apr 2020 at 19:37

Looking to buy a new monitor I have specific requirements for and it seems there is a lot of options.

27" or 32"
1440p
144HZ
HDR Currently using a TV as my monitor Sharp 40UG7252k, have been impressed with the HDR on it.

Monitors i have been looking at:

BenQ EX3203R
Acer Nitro VG271UPbmiipx
MSI Optix MAG272QR
Samsung CJG50

Can anyone recommend any more? I really don't want to go over £400

Don't rely on a monitor hdr being as good as the tv
Lot of them just aren't bright enough for hdr to be any good

Bought my LG27GL850 3 weeks ago for 400quid. Its fantastic. Really impressed with it.

I'm also looking at the same and am between the ASUS / MSI or the AOC which I don't think you have listed:

I'm by no means an expert, so more following the thread for any knowledgeable recommendations too.
Only one concern is that I read in a review that the AOC doesn't support 144hz at 1440p, only 60hz, but don't know if that is true or not?

I was trying to find a decent price on that one but could not find it cheaper than 500

Just an update, ended up going for the Dell S3220

Have to say after 8 months I'm really happy. Sharp, smooth and colours are pretty good, I didn't really notice any difference from the IPD I was using previously, so a great choice.

what about ghosting?

No I haven't noticed any issues. I'm not an expert by any stretch, but coming from an IPS I had for 6 or 7 years, I was expecting to maybe see a bigger difference moving to VA, but I really haven't. I could do with upgrading the RX580 soonish to make the most of it, but I'm holding out for a RX6800 that'll fit my case.
