Hi all,
I'm currently waiting for my computer to be built by OCUK and have been spending days looking for monitors to replace what I have.
I have decided on 1440p to pair with the 9070xt I have ordered, I'm sat quite close so from what I understand 27" is a good size. Monitors have changed a lot since the last time I bought one. Oled would be great but way out of what I'd like to pay at the minute so the battle is between VA and IPS.
From reading online everyone pushes towards IPS but I currently have a VA and have no issues with it although my rig is ancient.
So yeah, the biggest issue is do I go VA or IPS? VA I tend to read about smearing etc and IPS I just read about backlight bleeding. I think either way I'm going to be impressed based on my really old setup. Yesterday I was all for 2xIPS monitors but today I'm ready to buy 2xVAs
These are the two options (3 monitors) have in mind.
1 X MSI 27" MAG 27CQ6F 2560x1440 Rapid VA 180Hz 0.5ms A-Sync Curved Widescreen Gaming Monitor - £198.95
SKU: MON-MSI-02920
1 X MSI 27" G272QPF E2 2560x1440 Rapid IPS 180Hz 1ms Adaptive-Sync Widescreen Gaming Monitor - £228.95
SKU: MON-MSI-02165
Or an alternative IPS monitor LG UltraGear 27GS60QC
Thanks
