Monitor search 2

[Gravy59]

Hello. I am searching for a monitor to go with my $3600 build and want some advice. The monitor I want is one with G-Sync, 27 inches, fast (6-1 ms) response times, and 2560x1440 resolution. I found 3 monitors:

 

1) ASUS TUF VG27AQ1LA. New release, not in pcpartpicker, but a solid(?) choice.

2) LG 27GL850. Another good option(?).

3) ViewSonic Elite XG270QG.

 

I don't know which one to choose, I really like the look of the TUF but don't know when it will be on more reputable stores (e.g. Amazon). The Elite is seriously confusing with the similarities between models but difference in prices. The LG is fine but I don't know if I should wait for the TUF or go with another one. Thank you for your help!

it depends on how much the asus is, if it's 500 then it's a direct comparison to the LG, i'd have to see it in person cause the LG looks damn good, if it's 700usd then the samsung g7 is better if u don't mind the curve, even if u dislike curved for 700 i'd rather go with the LG 27GL850.

 

The viewsonic uses the same panel as the 27GL850

 

I've heard that the gigabyte aorus fl27Q has better colors overall compared to the 27GL850 but haven't seen it in person.

It looks like the FI27Q is only FreeSync certified, and originally I had that on the PCPP list but I found a lot of reviews that said that G-Sync didn't work. I don't know if it was because they used HDMI instead of DisplayPort, but I also don't know what DP cable to get. I might get the FI27Q-P if it has real G-Sync but honestly I just want a fast, high res 27 inch monitor. I don't care about motion blur but if the screen splits into sections I won't like that. Of course I will get a 2080 Ti in the build so maybe that isn't a problem. Thanks for your feedback.

i meant that i have to see the monitor in the flesh in front of me, here's some food for thought tho, asus had no answer for the L850 when it came out (if u look at their previous 1440p/144hz 700dollar models they are severely outdated), but they tend to do well when pushed. Since new monitors don't come out often and when they do they get used for years. So it won't hurt to wait for the new asus model to come out before deciding if it's 500usd, but if it was better than the LG and gigabyte options, asus would usually charge more for it, and not less

OK. Sorry about the in person bit but I'll wait for the asus. Thanks.
