Help buying a new monitor

[BeePee]

So I was holding off on buying a new monitor but now the amazon spring sale is here I can finally afford one. There are 2 monitors I'm torn between - the Samsung LC27JG50QQUXEN, a 1440p 144hz 27 inch VA monitor (~£240) or the AOC AGON AG241QX, a 1440p 144hz (gsync compatible) 24 inch TN monitor (~£265). The price difference is basically negligible but is it better to buy a G-sync compatible TN 24 inch or a 27 inch VA monitor?

 

My specs are:

CPU: i5-8400

GPU - RTX 2070

RAM: 16GB 2133MHz

That speed is disgustingly slow.

 

Anyways, 

Personally, I would avoid TN because they usually look bad. If you could find a similarly priced Freesync with IPS, you'd be just as well off and have better color accuracy and contrast.

Comes down to personal preference, personally I would trade VA for G-Sync any day, TN panels are good when it comes to gaming because of the low response time and the fact that you're just sitting right in front of it so you don't have to worry about color shift, and if you're only going to do gaming or browsing etc there's really no need to get a VA panel. Especially that you can set the colors/contrast to whatever suits you anyway (to a certain degree of course).

I would get the bigger VA panel It will look allot better then The TN also I always recommend going bigger when it comes to monitors. But there is also allot of other options out there besides these two.  https://www.amazon.co.uk/Acer-VG270UPbmiipx-FreeSync-ZeroFrame-Speakers/dp/B07G9J35CQ/ref=sr_1_21?crid=NBM2DNHRJ4RJ&keywords=27in+144hz+monitor&qid=1554749061&s=computers&sprefix=27in+%2Ccomputers%2C230&sr=1-21

VA always has really bad latency unless you use some option in the OD that makes it look bad and TN look bad and are more for tournaments, so I'll recommend an IPS, the Acer Nitro VG270UP it's the one that I'm getting and it's pretty similar to what you're saying.

Coolio, I'll go bigger then but sadly I have really £300 tops to spend on this monitor so im sort of limited

Oh cool I remember looking at that a while back and then not being able to find it again I'll look into that

[Laesx]

The only problem with the Acer one it's the IPS bleeding, but from reviews, they say it isn't that bad.

[BeePee]

Cool, that is the one you're getting right? Please could you let me know how it is when you get it

[Laesx]

I'll probably get it in some months so if you don't mind waiting, sure.
