Looking for some advice folks would like to get a new 4k monitor for roughly 400 if not under would prefer something around 28 inches powering the monitor I have a RTX 2070 super and an r7 3700x. I dont really play fps that much so really high refresh rates arent massively important for me and I'm quite happy with 60hz if i can get faster i'll take it but thats not massive factor for me I've been looking at these monitors what are your opinion or are there better monitors in this price range

didnt realise 4k would be a strain on the 2070s so badly i mainly play world of warship a few driving games, rts and occassionally some shooters but thats few and far between. Looking at 1440p for the high refresh you basically paying the same amount for a 4k 60hz what 1440p monitor would you say offers a good experience i see i could just about afford a ips or va panel instead of tn if i drop down to 1440p
 
I actually use my living room 4k tv to play and i do that on a 3770k and gtx 780 thats mainly rocket league though and that gets over 60 fps like i said i mainly spend my free time playing world of warships rocket league, a lot of racing games, sometimes i play the division 2 a little overwatch call of duty etc but not very often. Have seen a 27inch 1440p that seems good the ASUS MG278Q which is just within my budget.
 
So finally decided on the pixio px7 it should be with me monday. Think what swayed it for me was ips, currently have a 24inch ips as my main monitor but an older tn as a secondary and when i turned that on it starkly reminded me of the difference in quality between tn and ips, I'm sure tn has improved by in recent years but IPS has probably moved on also.
 
so got it all up and running and have to say WOW what a difference to my old asus 21.5inch monitor i never realised that jumping from 1080p to 1440p would be such a big difference obviously the 27inch helps compared to 21.5 but you were right using the display port at running at 165hz adaptive refresh my games are buttery smooth even a relatively simple game like world of warships feels so much smoother now at 1440p at a lower frame rate than when i would play at 1080p with the frame rate well over 100fps. guess i got lucky out of the box to as i appear to have no dead pixels at all but they could always develop with use i suppose. Just need a longer displayport cable now so i can mange the cables a bit better on my monitor arm
