Monitor Upgrade Help?

[DeclanE]

Hello People,

 

I am currently having a really difficult time finding a new monitor to upgrade from my BenQ GL2460HM

 

I have just finished upgrading my system which now has the following specs

 

Case - Thermaltake Core P5
Motherboard - MSI Z150A M5
Graphics Card - GeForce GTX 1080TI ROG Strix
RAM - Corsair Vengeance LPX 16 GB
Processor - Intel Core i5-6600K
Power Supply - Thermaltake Smart Pro 850W (Modular)
CPU Cooler - Cooler Master V8 GTS
SSD Boot Drive - Samsung 970 PRO 512 GB
Steam Hard Drive - WD Black 4TB

 

I am really looking for a monitor that has the following specs

• 144hz
• 1080P / 1440p (1440P is my preference) 
• G-Sync / (Don't Mind Without)

For budget I am looking for something under £550 I am open to prices higher but I would like to get a couple of this monitors 

if possible.

 

UPDATE - This is for Gaming use

You can use something like pcpartpicker to have an overview of a couple of monitors with the specs you want but HDR won't be available for that price guess that will be £800+

I had a look on part picker what about the Predator XB1 Gaming Monitor | XB271HUA

 

What are peoples opinions on this

It all depends on your needs if you are gamer or you just want to use it for work.

The site I always check for reviews in my country has some positive and negative points but it's user feedback so it might be totally different for you

 

pro's

• Gsync
• 1440p
• 144hz - 165hz overclock
• thin bezels
• ips coloraccuracy
• 27"
• no backlight bleed
• small feet
• twist, pivot, rotate

cons:

• price
• backlight bleed
• gamer look with red feet
• no dvi
• ips glow
• bad interface (OSD)
• cheap buttons
• big logo
• bad speakers

All and all as IPS is always a lottery whether you have backlight bleed or ips glow this seems to be a good monitor, i always wonder why ppl that can afford this would not have a decent headset or speakers and use dvi instead of hdmi or display port
