Quick! Recommendations for 27" 1440p high refresh monitor under $400!

[GilmourD]

So... My 6-year-old daughter is somehow still alive after throwing a hard toy at my 12-year-old son's Dell 27" 1080p 75Hz monitor. His birthday is coming up in May so we were looking to upgrade him anyway, but now the timetable has obviously moved up.

 

So, we're looking to pick him up a new monitor. Here's the requirements:

• 27"
• 1440p
• IPS panel (you'll have to do a lot of work to convince me to get him a VA panel and TN can DIAF)
• 144Hz+ (he has a 3060Ti from the Asus TUF series, so he should do OK in the games he plays) 
• $400ish or less (preferably less, and I understand perfection will not be had for that price range)

Optional:

• RGB
• Height adjust

Things that aren't important at all even if they're cool:

• HDR
• local dimming

 

We were thinking about the Pixio PX277 Pro that @Plouffe did a ShortCircuit about, but that's not shipping 'til the end of next month.

So, any recommendations? Please tell me why you make whatever recommendation you make. 

Thanks!

Thanks, @Slottr.

 

Anybody else have any suggestions?

Take a gander.

 

These are all 2560x1440 IPS displays with at least 1000:1 contrast ratio.

Check prices manually as their price filter isnt always accurate.

That is using my Quality Gaming scoring, the score weighting of which u can find here.
