Is it a bad idea to buy this 1440p monitor?

[WestTexan]

This online retailer that I have been buying my parts for years is now selling their own branded monitors. I am looking to upgrade to a 1440p monitor and 32GB of ram this month on a tight budget and this monitor's price is really attractive for me.  Do you  think its worth buying? There is only a 2 year warranty. On other monitors its 3 years. Below is the monitor specs and below that are my other 2 options for 66 USD more (the 32GB of ram also costs 66 USD). The cheap monitor costs 210 USD and the other 2 are 276 USD

 

Whats the worst case scenario when buying a cheaper monitor?

I would try to find some independent reviews and testing.  On paper it looks like a great deal.  You never know how these will perform in real life until you see it for yourself. In reality, these are all likely the same panel from the same manufacturer.  The limiting factor is usually the electronics and adjustment interface.  

 

If it was me I would save the money and go with the store brand unless you plan on using HDMI.  The store brand only has HDMI 2.0, the others have HDMI 2.1.

Thanks for the advice but unfortunately they're online only with no walk-in store. Really leaning on the store brand so far! I have seen people's opinions on their other in brand monitors from people who have actually bought it and I only hear good things about the displays from those people and people who have not bought them say to steer clear from this risk. I am not a betting person but that price and specs are soo good. I plan on continuing to use my display port cable
