What is a good 1440p monitor for gaming and youtube?

Ehrix

I'm looking into a monitor that is 1440p with a refresh rate of 144Hz and a 1 ms response time that has good color quality. From what I can find the Samsung C27HG70 is the best for the specs I want (this is what I could find). I also prefer the price to be below $450 even if it's on sale. Is there any monitors that are better than the Samsung C27HG70? If so please let me know, thx.

By gaming and youtube, do you mean gaming and watching youtube? Or gaming and making youtube videos?

 

Any preferences other than 1440p, 144hz, and 1ms response time? (Size? Color? Bezel thickness? Stand adjustability? GSync? Freesync? Etc...)

just watching youtube and playing games. Also a size thats either 27" or 24". I dont care about the stand im gonna mount it to my wall. G-sync makes it too expensive, freesync is just an added bonus. Bezel thickness: as long as it isn't an 2 inches.

Looks like that Samsung monitor might be your best bet. Most everything else I'm finding either has poor colors, poor quality, or isn't 1ms (I found this: https://amzn.to/2RBZj0s but it's 4ms, not 1ms)

Thank You. As long as it's a better looking monitor than my Acer XF240H then I'm good. :)
