Recommendations for 1440p 165 Hz G-Sync Monitor

[Gol_D_Chris]

Hello,

 

I'm currently using a dual monitor setup with a monitor arm (RaidSonic Icy Box IB-MS314-T) that holds:

1. ASUS VG278QR, 27" (TN, 1080p, 165 Hz, G-Sync Compatible)
2. ASUS VG275Q, 27" (TN, 1080p, 75 Hz)

Those monitors get powered by a RTX 2070 Super (ROG Strix).

 

I have been thinking about upgrading to a 1440p monitor and selling the second monitor.

 

I'm currently looking for fitting monitors, but since some monitors like the G7 got initially good reviews, although it has some issues I have some trust issues in those reviews.

 

I'm looking now for a monitor that

• is as big as my other monitor (27")
• is 1440p
• has 165+ Hz refresh rate
• has G-Sync / G-Sync Ultimate or is G-Sync Compatible
• is preferably IPS/VA instead of TN, but is not a must
• has low input lag
• costs <650€

I haven't read if the monitor arm is compatible with curved monitors, but I read somewhere that someone attached a curved monitor to it. So I'd prefer a flat monitor, but I'd try to attach it if the monitor is worth it.

 

I already found some monitors, but I'm not sure about them.

 

1. Acer Predator XB1 XB271HUAbmiprz (~480€, TN, G-Sync, 2 year warranty)
2. Acer Predator XB3 XB273UGSbmiiprzx (~500€, IPS, G-Sync Compatible, 2 year warranty)
3. ASUS ROG Swift PG278QE (~520€, TN, G-Sync, *ASUS design, 3 year warranty)
4. ASUS ROG Swift PG278QR (~520€, TN, G-Sync, 3D-ready, *ASUS design, 3 year warranty)
5. ASUS ROG Strix XG279Q (~660€, IPS, G-Sync Compatible, 170 Hz, 3 year warranty)
6. ASUS TUF Gaming VG27BQ (~440€, TN, G-Sync Compatible from 48 to 155 Hz, 3 year warranty)
7. Dell S2721DGF (~420€, IPS, G-Sync Compatible, 3 year warranty)
8. Lenovo Legion Y27q-20 without speaker (~420€, IPS, G-Sync Compatible, 3 year warranty)
9. Lenovo Legion Y27gq-20 with speaker (~440€, TN, G-Sync, 1 year warranty)
10. Samsung Odyssey G7 C27G73T (~590€, VA, G-Sync Compatible, 240 Hz, Curved, 2 year warranty)

*ASUS design is a small advantage, since my other monitor (ASUS VG278QR) has the same design.

 

Which one could you recommend or is there one that isn't in that list?

Your best options for what you want are these:

 

Dell S2721DGF 

LG 27GL850-B (only goes to 144hz though, I personally have this panel and LOVE IT)

I would recommend Dell S2721DGF costs the least but has a great nano IPS panel like LG 27GL850-B has.

Thank you for your recommendations!

 

I didn't expect to get one monitor recommended by multiple people
