Hi monitor experts

For my second PC (7700k and 1080ti) to my eye this looks like the best monitor at the moment:

I had an original rog swift (not bright enough for me) then gave it away and swapped it for a Predator 27 4k IPS but....60hz. The TUF looks like the best of both worlds. Any alternatives? It needs to be a 27 to fit on the mounts and leave room for the Predator. £500ish budget as I really don’t game on it much (but when I do I want it to be good!)

Muchas cheers in advance!

So I have seen the Pixio (bargain) - anything else with a different panel worth looking at?

I have been looking around at these monitors for a couple of weeks now and I can't make my mind up to be honest. There are a few around that price, all with their good and bad points.

The ASUS you refer to was going to be what I went for, but I read that it suffers some issues when running anything at less than 100hz.
LG 27GL850-B seems a popular choice but has bad contrast ratio.
Gigabyte Aorus FI27Q also seems good and I can't really remember what the downsides were.
I was interested in the Pixio but I read that it has some problems with quality control.

Why can't somebody just made the perfect monitor at a cheap price?

Would have to give bean counters and marketroids R. Lee Ermey treatment before we could even dream about good monitor even at high end price level.
Now they just make us pay again and again for same old compromised LCD crap.

I read those reviews about the pixio and quality concerns and i only have a sample size of one but mine is perfect, no dead pixels at all so i cant complain

I am on the same boat, was about the buy the Asus, as it has the best stand by a mile and it has a slim profile but if the framerate dips under 80fps it is unbearable. Apparently with the LG you can go down to about 50fps before it is an issue.

I would buy the LG but I don't want to hand over £470 for nothing. It is already hard enough justifying spending this kind of money to the wife!
