Advice on black friday purchase

Evakyl Nibelilt · November 29, 2019

So I've had my eye on the Lg 27gl650F-B on amazon since its bigger brother the Lg 27gl83A-B sold out this morning. a $350 monitor on sale for $200 is pretty nice looking to my novice eyes but I was wondering if I should take the shot to my wallet now and buy a 1080p, 144hz monitor with 1ms response ISP panel and free-sync with g-sync compatibility or should I wait until cyber monday and hope there's something as good or better.

I don't want to spend more than $300 on a monitor which is why I usually wait for these sales so I can get something actually worth the money I put into it. I also plan on upgrading my rig to specs that can handle 1440p at 144hz but that won't come for a while unless a really good deal on GPUs comes around on cyber monday so I can pick up a nice RX 5700 XT.

If you plan on upgrading your PC so that it can handle 1440p, 144 Hz well, then I don't think you should get a 1080p, 144 Hz monitor only to not really use it. It's like adding something in the middle of your plan that does not benefit you as much. What I mean is something like: (plan to) upgrade to 1440p, 144 Hz hardware, then get a 1080p, 144 Hz monitor, and then get a 1440p, 144Hz monitor. Maybe not in that order, but you could be spending more money that you would need to. If you want to keep it as a secondary monitor, then sure, but I don't know if you want to do that.

Do you have a Costco membership or know someone in your family or is friends with you? Costco is going to be selling the LG 32GK850F-B for $250 for Cyber Monday. Do note that it's a 32" monitor and uses a VA panel, so if those aren't things you would want, then consider something else.
