1440p High Refresh-rate Monitors

[CommonInfinity]

Hi my fellow tech geeks,

 

I am currently a couple of weeks out from building a new desktop and am currently in the process of finalizing components. 

At the same time as building a new desktop, I am upgrading my displays and am looking at 1440p high refresh rate monitors.

The couple of hours of research I have so far done has not really yielded any good results.

I have looked at some review websites, but the monitors they recommend have a large number of 1 star reviews on amazon.

 

Now finally to the point:

Do you have any recommendations?

 

Specs:

I am looking for a (preferably) 27 inch monitor with a refresh rate greater than  or equal to 120Hz.

I have a upper limit on the price of £500.

 

Thank you for the time.

This seemed like one of the more promising displays I was looking at.

Ignore amazon reviews, and reviews on store pages in general. The average user has no idea how to comprehensively evaluate a product, and DOA is also lumped in, as if getting a defective product you have to replace somehow means the product in general is bad.

im also looking for something similar but i want it also to be a curved monitor,and for some reason the curve puts like a heavier price tag on them.

I do try and take them with a grain of salt and I do look at the views content to see if it is gibberish or not. But I will keep this in mind.

The only thing that annoys me is LED blinking blue light when the monitor is in "sleep" mode.

During night it shines over my bed and I must cover it as it distracts me  

 

It has minimal ghosting (only visible in UFO test really), beautiful colours and Freesync / G-Sync compatibility support.

Though in some games might cause screen flickering, so I turned G-Sync compatible thing off completely... as the result, no flickering and no noticable screen tearing.
