Recommend me a display

MEZesUBI · August 29, 2017

Hello everyone!

I consider buying a display currently for using it with my Asus GL502VS (i7-6700HQ, GTX 1070, 16GB Ram) for casual gaming (nothing competitive) and coding; but would definitely use it with a desktop system afterwards.

The thing is, I have some expectations / restrictions, so most probably compromises will be made. The preferred features are the following:

27+ inch display (24 is a last resort)
16:9 aspect ratio
IPS panel
adjustable height and tilt
"better" look, "gamer-ish" design
Restriction: max $300 (250 Euro, 76000 Hungarian Forints as local currency), yet would consider adding an extra minimal amount for the sake of success.
Available on the European market (bc. wall sockets, shipment time, warranty, etc.)

I'd still mention that I play most new games on standard FHD resolution, at least currently with my mobile beast. Probably it could handle optimized titles on WQHD. As for viewing videos / shows, I doubt there would be anything out there higher resolution other than sample videos. So, if you'd suggest a higher resolution display, I'd probably just use it as stated above.

I already looked at the following displays, yet none fits the criteria fully (and the local market's prices are high due to large VAT):

ASUS VG245H (24" FHD TN Panel, Height/Tilt Adjustment, 1ms, 75Hz, Freesync, great looks) for $212 - I preferred the 27" edition, but on the local market that costs double the price
AOC G2778VQ (27" FHD TN Panel, no adjustment, 1ms, 75Hz, Freesynch, I like the red accent) for $220
LG 27MP58VQ (27" FHD IPS Panel, no adjustment, 5ms, 75Hz, standard looks) for $215,50

I can consider getting a height/tilt adjustment stand as a last resort, or put the whole thing on the wall, hell - I even taught about getting a 32-43" tv at the same price, after all we're just talking about a display for casual gaming, but then again, I'd go with quality.

Considering the above please feel free to suggest me anything.

Have a great day!

UPDATE:

Just checked the monitor LG 27MP59G-P, and kinda liked it. yet I cannot tell if I'd benefit from it's Freesync tech. The rest is just cosmetic change for the price of an additional $40. Any thoughts?
