Hi Guys,

Just after some help regarding monitor upgrades to suit my new PC build. Any suggestions are massively welcome.

Currently I have 2 budget 22inch viewsonic vx2252mh. I have had these for years now and its time to replace.

I've recently built a new pc with the following build. I do hope to swap the GFX card once I can purchase one but currently everything is unavailable everywhere. The GPU will either be a 3070 or a 6700Xt but will get advice from the OC community.(***Build below***)

I've had a little look at monitors and have a budget of upto about £1000, I could stretch this if needed. Two of the monitors I looked at are the Acer Predator XB271HU and the Gigabyte G27Q. What are these options like or are there better alternatives? My hope is to purchase to monitors as i like having the option of two screens but if there is ultrawide that has this functionality i would happily look at that as an option.

The monitor doesn't hace to be 27inch this is just what I have come across with my very limited knowledge on this subject.

Any help is really appreciated. Thanks

Just forget that Acer.
You would be paying Jensen's extra to get ball and chain into leg for marriage to paying Nvidia in future.
Besides Nvidia has supported VESA standard AdaptiveSync called FreeSync in marketing for couple years.

Gigabyte's variable refresh rate works with any graphics card.
Including Intel's future discrete GPUs.


Also what's the primary use?
Is it some kind working, or gaming?
For mostly working single 4K monitor option would be option at that budget level.
(there should be 32" model releases in next months)

And in case of you preferring darkened room VA panel's way highest contrast (of LCDs) would give best looking image.

Thanks for the response mate.

The use is generally gaming playing a lot of tarkov, cyberpunk, ratchet and clank ect at the moment. Other than that's uts just general computer use browsing the net ect.

I wouldn't mind a single monitor aslong as it had the option it split into two sections as I did originally look at the odyssey but it won't fit on my desk. I like having the two monitors so I can have a game open on one and Internet, music, discord, maps or what ever open on the second.

I am hoping to get hold of a RTX 3070 at some point but no look so far. I may even look into the 6700 XT but like monitors I don't really know enough about it to pick without support.
