I narrowed it down to 2 monitors, I basically need HDMI and Display port since I play PC and PS4/Xbox One games and I don't wanna complicate things since Displayport/HDMI converters sometimes don't work on consoles. I want a 27 inch monitor because I had a 24 inch BenQ monitor before so I would prefer something larger this time considering I have played games on a 50 inch 22ms input lag 60hz Sony W800b TV PC games and console for 1.5 years now.

Here are the monitors.

I would prefer buying the Acer Predator since it has GSync but the 27 inch version is only avaliable in Europe now, this site does International shipping but I contacted their support and the total price for it will be 805$ CAD, practically double the price of the AOC monitor.

Why does the AOC monitor say Contrast Ratio
50,000,000:1 contrast

The Acer only has - Contrast Ratio: 1000:1 (Typ)
- Dynamic Contrast Ratio: 10,000,000 So would the AOC monitor be brighter and have better picture quality?

I guess it mostly comes down to if GSync is worth it or not, I really wanted to try GSync. The only game I play that I notice screen tearing in some areas is Star Trek Online, all the other main multiplayer/mmo games on PC I play, I don't notice any. Still, I could play a game in the future and notice screen tearing.

What would you recommenced I buy? Price is not an issue for me but if I did get the AOC I will still have 396$ left over, if I get the Acer then I will have 20$ left over.

G-sync is far worth it if you are dropping frames regularly. 144hz G-sync has been probably one of the best upgrades to my system to date.

The only thing I would ensure is you have a good PC to be able to push the higher 120-144 frames. You won't see any difference if you are only getting 60fps in the first place.

The main multiplayer/mmo games I play on PC are Planetside 2 and Star Trek Online, I might be playing more different games like Battlefield 4 if I stick with it. I get 80-120fps on maximum settings 1080p with shadows off on planetside 2. I rarely notice screen tearing in planetside 2 anyway, even on the 60hz screen I have now. Most of the screen tearing I notice is in star trek online in certain areas. Still, I will be playing other PC games in the future so I would like to have the gsync feature. Even if I didn't feel it was worth it, at least I would know from experiencing it instead of always wondering about it.
