Second Monotor Suggestion

Hi, I want to get a second monitor, but am not sure what to get. I currently have an MG279Q monitor and am debating whether to get an ultrawide and make that my gaming monitor, get another MG279Q, or get a 4K 27" 16:9 monitor. Specific product suggestions are appreciated as well. Thank you!

 

By the way the MG279Q is a 27" 2560*1440 144HZ IPS Display.

So, 

 

I sounds like you are good in the gaming department.

 

About your pc, I don't know specs, so here I go.

 

I would either recommend a 4k monitor or a ultrawide. Really a 4k monitor would be better because you already can game on the other one. As for models here are a couple:

 

The ASUS ProArt PA328Q is a great 4k choice for color accuracy and performance when it comes to productivity. But, if you can't afford that then something like the:

Asus PB287Q is a more affordable, yet is still 4k and come with a few features. 

 

Personally the Pro Art is just bigger and better, but sizes are different so that may be something to think about, with the PA being 32 inches. 

 

Hope that helps.

Thanks for the input. I can't afford the ProArt, my budget being a measly 500$. 600, if its worth it. I think I would like to have a monitor with the same height as the MG279Q for aesthetics sake, so any suggestions there? Also, any ultrawide options? I want both my old and monitor to bring something unique to the table, with out making the other obsolete.
