I grabbed this list off displayninja. Could someone help me decipher what the differences are between all of these. I'm leaning towards the Viotek GN27C2 right now. The only thing that I've found is the "updated revisions" like the C27FG70 -> 73 and the GN27C -> C2 etc are slightly better. But how or why, no idea.

Honestly, if I can give you one advice - don't go 27" with a 1080p resolution, IMO for 27" 1440p is the sweet spot and I'd try buying a monitor with that res.

it's almost strictly for games or content. I have a IPS 24in 1080p for work and will use the other one in horizontal with vesa mount. 

 

I love 1440p, its just that I don't want to turn down settings to run at 144hz. Right now 1080ti runs almost all games at 1080p 120fps+ stable.

I have a 1440p monitor (soon two of them) and I also have a 1080Ti, it's a perfectly capable card to run at 144Hz when you have a variable refresh rate monitor. I wouldn't sacrifice quality for performance, even lowering down the settings should provide better image quality and sharpness than 1080p. 27" is just a bit too much for 1080p IMO as the pixels are too visible to me personally...

I used to have 1080p 27" monitor (CFG70), then changed to 1440 27"(CHG70). yes 1440p is so much clearer, but 1080p is still acceptable. anything bigger than 27 will be too blurry for 1080p. I would say 27" is the maximum limit for 1080p.

 

btw CFG70 is amazing, and CFG73 is just a same monitor with improved stand.

That list is  just a basic rundown.

 

Each monitor will be different to each othe in terms of Color gamut, viewing angles, pixel response, contrast, uniformity, brightness etc etc.

You should check reviews specifc to each monitor ur considering.... full reviews, not just spec rundowns. You want to know exactly how it performs.
