MSI Optix MAG274QRF-QD worth it?

[Abzilla]

Sorry for asking "is this worth it?", but I've been thinking of getting a new monitor. This is 1440p 165Hz with G-sync for a competitive price. I believe my 1080ti should be perfect for this. I play a mix of competitive games like CS and watch youtube/netflix making 1440p the sweet spot. I have heard of QC issues and saturation issues out of the box, but other than that, for the price, it's good. Additionally, I'm still using a 1080p 60hz monitor so the upgrade would seem worthwhile.

Gigabyte M27Q is cheaper and has better ratings from rtings.com  https://www.rtings.com/monitor/reviews/gigabyte/m27q

Yeah its the best 1440p monitor with wide color gamut but you need to calibrate it
