Thoughts on these monitors?

[haroldj97]

I'm looking to buy 3 monitors, predominantly for gaming (mainly simulation, racing and some RPG games) but also for software development and working from home. I would ideally like a 27 inch, 1440p, 144Hz (or greater) monitor and have narrowed it down to these few and unsure which one is best out of them or if there is anything better. Ideally, I would like to spend no more than £300 per monitor. 

 

LG 27GL850-B - £298.99 per monitor (£896.97 total)

Gigabyte M27Q-EK - £278.99 per monitor (£836.97 total)

MSI Optix G273QF - £258.95 per monitor (£776.85 total) 

 

I've currently got an i7-7700K, overclocked to 4.8GHz, 16GB 3000MHz RAM and an EVGA 1080 SC.

The gigabyte one doesn't support g sync, which would be good because you use a nvidia graphics card.
From the looks I would pick the MSI one. But it's about you.

i dont like dependencies especially ones that at standby power draw is 60w....for g-sync module!

I chose Gigabyte for it fits my needs better and i use alot of the companies products and knowning the quality of them.

I may not have g-sync but ...if you buy an AMD card Later???? g-sync goes on a walkby.

Msi are known thiefs...i am not saying it , read reviews and LG looks cheap to my eyes for the price.

None of these monitors have G-sync. They're G-sync compatible, which means they have FreeSync Premium. 10 series cards can take advantage of that, so it's not a decision factor one way or another for these particular three monitors.

Just yesterday:

This is gigabyte support:

No offense... I use a gigabyte graphics card, because it was cheap. But I just remembered that post from yesterday

The Gigabyte monitor was definitely the one I was looking at getting out of the three. However, after a bit more Googling and looking at reviews, there are a few people reporting quality control issues. Mainly I’ve seen people saying the backlight bleed is worse than other monitors and they’ve received panels with a decent amount of dead pixels. Haven’t bought monitors in quite a while so is this something to be expected with any monitor from any manufacturer or is it more to do with Gigabytes QC?
