What the title says, I've got no clue when it comes to monitors, whats the best bang for my buck, under a thousand CAD would be appreciated.

I had a good experience with the LG UltraGear 27GP950-B. It's one of the cheaper ones im pretty sure and has good color performance at least to me, OLED would be even better but im not sure you can get that in your price range. Can't speak much for HDR performance though cause I never use it.

Also avoid the asus tuf gaming 4k 144hz monitor (the VG28UQL1A, other ones probably have similar problems) if you see it cause I think it's one of the more popular ones, I had it but returned it cause it's full of problems.
Also use HDMI 2.1 for full bandwidth.
