Looking for a new monitor for work and gaming (with a USB hub if possible!)

[ShiningLizard]

Over the summer I built a brand new gaming PC (Ryzen 5 3600, MSI Radeon 5700 Gaming X GPU, ASUS TUF Gaming X570 mobo, 16GB RAM), which is awesome.

 

My current monitor is a 24-inch, 1080p 60Hz Dell U2414h, which I bought in 2016:

I loved this monitor when I bought it, but I feel like now I have a modern gaming PC of a decent spec that I would like to upgrade to something that will complement this new system. I'm starting to notice screen tearing in newer games (my most recent example being playing Total War Warhammer II at max settings and noticing the screen tearing as I move around the campaign map), and so I'm thinking a new monitor with a higher refresh rate would be good... but damn it, it's really hard to choose

 

My budget is around £250. I don't want 4K (not that I expect I'd afford it with £250 anyway), and am thinking that 1440p would be nice... but I don't know if I would prefer a 1080p screen at 144Hz over a 1440p screen with say 75hz.  I don't want to go bigger than 27 inches (24 is probably enough for my desk, it's not that big - it's only 60cm deep). Will I see the benefit more in a 24" 1080p 144Hz or a 27" 1440p with a lower refresh rate?

 

My current monitor has a 4-port USB hub, which is really useful for working from home - I unhook the Displayport cable out of the back of my PC and connect it to my laptop, along with the single USB hub cable form my monitor. So, if I can find a new monitor that also has a USB hub it would be ideal - but would be prepared to sacrifice that for more monitor options.

 

Here are some of the ones I've bookmarked - what do you guys think?

X 5700

I though you meant this was the mobo. Was going to make a joke about how your chipset is so advanced over x570, then I realised it was a gpu.

this is a va pannel, but it is 1440p 144hz, and does seem to be pretty good.

Acer KG1 KG271UA seems like a good option

 

a tiny over budget, and lack of USB Hub (could always get one that goes into your PC), but 

- 27 inch

- 2560 x 1440

- 144Hz

- 1ms response time

- 100x100 vesa mount

- 2 year warranty 

- Freesync 

 

and IMO looks pretty cool
