Some recommendations for a 1440p 144Hz 30” For around £400 please, I’m asking for a noob!

I been looking for over a month and getting no where.
For gaming and watching Blu-ray movies.

also what happens if my gpu can no longer put out 144fps or have enough power to display 1440p at decent settings would it be playable at lower than 144fps?


here’s a few I been looking at

Framerate lowers in any proper gaming monitor with FreeSync.
If monitor doesn't have FreeSync, then it's turd, which should be smashed to head of maker company's marketroids.


If you have normal room lightning, then IPS is better with consistent response times.
If you prefer darker room then VA is better.
I don’t want to commit to FreeSync or gsync. I have a 5700xt now but who knows my next gpu might be nvidia.

the room is softly lit and monitor will sit in front of a south facing window with a black out blind blocking around 90% of light.
Ips or va would be ok
 
I recommend the latest generation Samsung VA panels which you may be able to find on sale at your price range. They ain't cheap, but they're outstanding if you're using your computer in a dark environment.

I use my computer in a fairly dimly lit room, so I can't use IPS monitors because the glow is unbearable. I've tried three different high end ones over the last three months, so I'm speaking from experience. In the end, I found Samsung's newer VA panels provide the best experience for me. I have the G7 Odyssey now and the CHG70 on order, which is less aggressively curved. The picture quality of the G7 is staggeringly good, better than any of LG's nano-IPS monitors I had previously tried and approaching the quality of my professionally-calibrated Panasonic OLED TV. It does proper inky black and accurate colours, but it does come with an aggressively curved 1000R screen, which isn't to everyone's taste. That's why I'm going to try the CHG70 to see if I prefer it. Both support HDR 600 which is a nice bonus, Doom Eternal looks really nice in HDR mode. I use an RTX 3080 FE card to drive it.

You may see some users complaining on the Internet about flickering with the G7, but I haven't experienced any. I believe Samsung has issued a firmware update to resolve this issue anyway, if you do run into it. You may update the firmware yourself, no need to send the monitor to a service centre, which is useful (Dell, take note!).
Thanks I’ll have a look at Samsung
