I'm in the market for two monitors, meeting the following requirements:
Prospective Resolution: 3840 X 2160
Size: 27/28 inches
Aspect Ratio: 16 : 9
Adaptive Sync: GSync
Other Features:
True HDR would be nice
From a reliable brand - likely to see 10+ hrs use a day
VESA 80x80 or 100x100 (i have a dual monitor arm that only supports these mounting options)
Inbuilt USB C hub for my Macbook - though can get one elsewhere and mount it behind my monitor
Usage Type:
Gaming (2-3 hrs a day)
General Productivity (I am a software engineer, 7-8 hrs a day)
Other notes: UK based so some monitors e.g. Innocn 27m2v are not available
Current thinking:
LG Ultragear 27GR39U-B
Computex was just on, and there wasn't really much announced that meets this spec, while it was on LG quietly announced the 27GR93U-B. A lot of buying guides recommend it's predecessor - the discontinued LG 27GP950-B.
I've been informed LG usually has pretty good build quality? I'll be using this for many years, daily for 10+ hrs - I want something that will last.
Cooler master Tempest GP27U
I've seen good reviews of this (Rtings), and understand it had firmware issues at release, which are now addressed. But there appears to be an ongoing flicker issues? Though I can avoid that through disabling the combination of HDR and Adaptive Refresh Rate?
I'm leaning towards it, but not really sure about it given the "beta like" nature of the product described on other sites, and not sure about the longevity of a cooler master monitor.
