I want to get a monitor. I want 144hz and 1080p or 1440p. I also want G sync. The problem is I don't exactly want to spend 800 dollars on the monitor, unless it is necessary. I want a 27 inch monitor. Also if you guys could tell me if I should spend less (happy) and get a 1080p monitor or spend more and get a 1440p monitor (sad for money loss) is it worth it??? Thanks
