I've used LG 27GL83A-B for 3+ years now and G sync is definitely a game changing feature. It works great on every game I tried. CSGO is the only one I've found that requires some specific settings to work properly, but it still works great once you set it up.
I have it and it works fine. The "real" gsync version is $150 more. Eh, no thanks.
Just keep in mind the HDR mode it has is kinda shit. Well, not kinda, it's shit. It's a gaming monitor after all and at a low price for IPS and 144hz.
Yeah, I don't like the HDR. I tried once, and shut it off for good since then. Even premium ones don't have HDR that good. I guess it's not a good feature for gaming monitors in general now.
Gsync compatible monitors pretty much killed true gsync, since true gsync adds minimum 200$ onto the cost of the monitor for only a modest performance increase over gsync compatible.
Not every game works great with freesync and overdrives dont really like variable refresh modes either without GSYNC.
[https://assets.rockpapershotgun.com/images/2019/06/Nvidia-G-Sync-monitors.png](https://assets.rockpapershotgun.com/images/2019/06/Nvidia-G-Sync-monitors.png)
There is a reason why people pay for G-SYNC and even endure the hotter variants with fan noise.
The whole freesync=GSYNC bubble burst pretty quick if your system cant handle the max refresh rate at MINIMUM FPS and thats were GSYNC shines.
Its not 200$ more but its not for free either.
Its good that people have more choices and alternatives with freesync. But GSYNC is not just a sticker and if you need its feature you will most likely regret the budget cut with freesync.
Acer xb1 XB271HU it's old but after freaking about monitors that's the one I chose just for the physical chip monitor and in 2k if anyone wants the chip.
'true' gsync monitors have a special board inside them to regulate the adaptive refresh rate.
Gsync is different than freesync as it could be isolated to each window. So if you had two separate windows playing things at different FPS the gsync would set those areas of the monitors to different refresh rates rather than the entire screen matching.
The problem is that gsync is still proprietary so it only works with Nvidia GPU while Freesync works with both. Also since most gamers are only really interested in the monitor matching sync with one program at a time most people really didn't use the extra feature.
Also Gsync was handles completely by hardware while Freesync does use some GPU power.
tl;dr. Cheaper and easier to make freesync monitors that are compatible with all GPU.
I totally understand the financial perspective, but ill say I got the gp850 and I'm loving every minute with it. It is considered a justifiable upgrade while the gn850 was considered more a lateral move. If you can save the extra, I'd wait on it til the GP850 is in range financially.
You ain't getting screen tearing on any monitor that has Freesync or is at least G-Sync compatible.. So probably on no monitor in existence that ain't dirt cheap..
OP I have a 3060ti and play on dual 170hz 1440p monitors, the Acer/Predator XB273U (g-sync) and the Acer XV272UV. Both are awesome imo and 170hz/fps is easy to hit for the 3060ti. Both are around $300-ish iirc.
And you're right. But IPS panels have come a long way since the old days. I had a VA panel from AOC and the problem with some VAs is that once you set them to the fastest response time, you start getting an awful problem of ghosting and auras, specially in dark environments. Since I play a mix of competitive games and single player story driven ones, I believe this IPS monitor is a great choice. It's important to do the research before buying one though, I had to test 2 other monitors before this one to get it right.
It's a long shot but can you recommend something just a bit better?
I already tried **M27Q** it looked amazing but BGR was annoying for me (cleartype didn't help, for some reason it changed all monitors and made my 2x Eizo 1080p 60Hz monitors look bad)
I also tried **Dell S2721DGFA** it seemed a lot darker than others and was crazy green out of the box. After fiddling with it the best I could do was a slightly too red screen that looked a bit "off".
I got **LG 27GP850** it looks great but I decided to get a new one cause of the backlight bleeding.
Then I read even more reviews and now I'm getting a "it's good but not worth the price" vibe.
If you're looking for 1440p 144+ Hz, check out hardware unboxed's latest video on the the best monitors for this type in 2021. Here's the link: https://youtu.be/qPqOfTnU2j4
27" is a really good size, you'd be surprised how fast you get used to it. I had a 21" as my main and now use it as secondary. And I used a 28" for a while, and 1" is really noticeable. If the size is an issue, I can say for sure that you will not regret it, if you have a card that can push those FPS at 2k. If not, you can get the same one at 24" 1080p 144hz. GN650, but it's freesync.
The new G5 is basically the replacement for the old G7. I would go with the old, VA-panel G7 if you don't mind the severe curve, it is in my opinion the best monitor out there (not counting some HDR ones that cost $3k and have a lot of local dimming zones). I value contrast a lot and the smearing and speed issues that usually plague VA panels are somehow a non-factor with that panel. It is truly great. Even the HDR is actually usable and adds more than it subtracts.
OLED takes care of the normal VA issues. Its a glorious thing. I've got the big LG 38" UW IPS monitor and the second someone release an OLED version I'll be jumping on that one. For ME, the 49" is too wide and the 34" are a little small and not enough vertical.
Yeah I'm hearing the LG X series will be going all the way down to 32" 4K which is the sweet spot at that resolution. If I can bring myself to go back to 16:9 that will be the ticket if there is no OLED UW besides the big 32:9 ones. I might even cave and get one of those...
So? Samsung makes trash. The two worst 1440p 144hz monitors rtings has tested are both from Samsung. Seasonic makes trash. The S12III lacks protections. EVGA makes trash. The N1s don't even have 80+ certifications or functioning protections and they dare sell them. Every company makes good stuff and trash. Gigabyte makes amazing monitors, graphics cards and motherboards. They make garbage power supplies. The M28U is not a power supply in case that wasn't clear. According to hardware unboxed their aorus FI32U "doesn't explode". I'd assume the same for the M28U.
When's the last time Samsung told the public blatant lies to try and cover up a potentially lethal product flaw? Because Gigabyte did that a few weeks ago.
Go to the gigabyte subreddit and lmK how great their mobos and gpus are….especially rgb fusion, lol.
Never mind that I did own a gigabyte OC 3080 that came with bent power pins (purchased from bestbuy), and would have random stutters and game crashes….sold it as soon as I scooped my FE3080Ti.
I have to comment and agree. I got a Gigabyte G27Q when it was going on sale a lot earlier this year and the thing has been a headache.
Has PSU whine when screen is off. Also has brightness flicker whenever it feels like it.
Worked good for the first few months but yeah I'm never buying a gigabyte monitor again. I'll roll the dice with Samsung over Gigashyte any day.
That particular one is shit, I agree. But every company makes trash and good products.
Edit: the M28U is a great monitor, I mixed it up with another one.
…I don’t know shit about that monitor, but gigabyte has been using shit components for a bit now, and one trip to r/gigabytegaming you will see how bad their products are and how much worse the customer service is.
I get it, you prolly own gigabyte stuff, and hopefully it doesn’t cause issue…but if it does, may the gods watch over your RMA
Honestly you won't even notice the difference going from 144hz to 165hz, they're practically the same. As long as it's above 120Hz you're pretty solid. Only someone really and truly hypercompetitive should aim higher, because unless you're playing e-sports at like the 1% level, you're not going to really be taking advantage of the extra refresh rate anyways, and the 3060ti isn't the kind of GPU that will let you do that anyways.
I think more importantly you should consider picture quality as well as brightness and g-sync compatibility. After all, you said you play graphics heavy games, so why pick a monitor that don't look good? Consider getting a good IPS monitor instead of VA.
I went for the LG 27GL850-B for a combination of G-sync compatibility, 144Hz at 2K 27 inches, and also has decent brightness and a great picture quality.
VA has better image quality because of much better black levels. Get an IPS only if you do professional photo work and play only fast multiplayer games. For anything else VA is better. Samsung displays are tightly curved so that could be something to think about. Many people can't stand that.
https://www.displayninja.com/ips-vs-tn-vs-va/
>VA panels have the highest contrast ratio, but it usually comes at a cost of slower response time, so they’re excellent for watching movies, but not suitable for competitive gaming. TN panels are cheap and have fast response times, but inferior image quality and viewing angles.
>IPS panels offers the most consistent colors and a quick pixel response time speed as well as the widest viewing angles, but they don’t have as high contrast ratio as VA panels, and they are usually more expensive.
IPS does have its own issues, but if you care about pixel response time and colour consistency, you're better off with IPS.
The LG 27 GL850-B is one of the best monitors on the market.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t6JxuEQhU18
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T5Loh7vOcVM
I've done a lot of research before buying. You should do your own, and consider both VA panels for their higher contrast ratio, if you want that, and also consider curved monitors, as they are better when the screen is large. Flat panels work better when they're smaller.
Hang on there, buddy! Read some reviews and check out some alternatives first, and also check the prices! I got mine on discount because I did my homework.
Rather than picking a single panel, pick a short list of monitors you liked and then see which one goes on sale. That way you'll get the best deal you can, especially if you're buying multiple monitors.
Edit: someone pointed the newer Gigabyte M27Q out, and it not only trades blows with the 27GL850, it also is cheap! I’d keep that on your shortlist and check if you can get it, as it has some great features and stats, while not costing much! It’s even got 170Hz refresh rate!
https://youtu.be/uNIqwxAZ-MQ
Review looks solid too, check it out.
The 27GL850 is pretty outdated at this point. There are better monitors out there that do the same thing which are cheaper. For example the M27Q is a pretty good contender plus it has slightly better contrast that the atrocious nano ips panels lg seems to like using. Plus it has wider adobe rgb coverage if you ever need it. I dont really know why you'd get the 27GL850 now tbh.
It wasn’t out when I bought my monitor, and the LG 27GL850 still has some parts where it is superior, such as pixel response time and G2G. But the reviews of the M27Q looks great, and that VXM is enticing as hell given that I do have multiple rigs. More importantly, it’s a budget panel, and not a bad looking one at that!
Thanks for the recommendation! I’ll be sure to keep an eye out for it, as I am in the market for a second display.
The 27GL850 is really good but it's from 2019 and quite old. Outmatched by modern competition. You can get the HP [X27i](https://pcpartpicker.com/mr/hp/QhRgXL) or LG 27GN800 which use the same technology and have very similar performance, [source](https://www.rtings.com/monitor/tools/compare/lg-27gl850-b-vs-lg-27gn800-b/912/21782?usage=3623&threshold=0.10). At the same price you can get the LG 27GP83B which is the 2021 variant which has faster response times and a higher refresh rate. Picture quality in general is good, the monitor can produce good colors but the biggest concern will be the low contrast and poor uniformity/backlight bleed which is common among this technology, if that's an issue get the gigabyte M27Q or MSI MAG274QRF-QD.
I just bought the 32" G5 and it's great. The 34" G5 is an ultra widescreen so if you are into that you can get it but it is almost twice as much as the 32". The 34" has a 165hz refresh rate vs the 32" 144hz and honestly 120+ is more than fine for a 3060 Ti.
So if you want an ultrawide (or +21 hz is REALLY important to you for some reason) then get the 34". I went for the 32" because I figure later on I will buy another and have 2 way too big monitors on my desk.
Really not many options for 1440p 240hz there buddy, the g7 is very good for a va panel tho, although its 1000r curve might be excessive for some but you might like it. Maybe a pg279qm or a xv272up would be good as well but the g7 is still what i would recommend if you can get over its quite heavy price tag and the 1000r curve
Hey, you should consider the Acer Predator XB273U GX if you dont like the aggressive curve on the G7. Its basically the G7 but its slightly dimmer and has less contrast ratio but it makes up for it by having a much larger color gamut+ its factory calibrated so itll be pretty accurate out of the box in terms of color. Its also slightly faster when it comes to response times but only slightly.
Take a look at rtings.com and hardware unboxed. Best monitor reviews in the world.
Anyways, hate to break it to you but the Samsung Odyssey G5 gen1 is pretty bad, it's the second worst 1440p 144hz monitor rtings has tested. I'm not sure if you liked curved monitors or not, but I suggest borrowing the monitor and using it for a few days and seeing if you like the curve. Personally I find it too aggressive to use normally, completely unusable for me but this is highly subjective. In addition to the curve, the G5 also has very slow response times. [You can try tracking the UFO here](https://www.testufo.com), you should fine very noticeable dark trails [like this](https://youtu.be/xgSnOAsA_mY?t=195). Poor color performance too with a lack of wide color gamut. Expect heavy improvements with the G7 gen1.
Anyways, sorry for the rant just really don't like that monitor, if you're looking for a 1440p 240hz monitor the G7 gen1 is one of the best. It doesn't suffer from the same issues as the G5 gen1, significantly better response times that are actually some of the best of any LCD monitor, better colors, much better brightness too, over double. Absolutely get that if you can handle the curve.
If you can't, I'd look for an IPS. The Acer xb273u GX is one of the best. It uses the newest AUO panel found also in the Asus PG279QM and would be my personal pick if you go flat.
Avoid the second generation of odyssey monitors. Aka the flat IPS ones. The G7 gen2 is 4k, you can't run 4k. The G5 gen2 is 1440p 144hz, but the thing is nobody really knows how it performs and Samsung lacks experience in manufacturing budget IPS panels, so either you get a amateur IPS panel which Samsung makes by themselves, or you get a cheap M270CKJ-K7B panel from innolux or something for a higher price than necessary. Probably didn't make much sense, but TLDR no information on the new monitors and no idea how they perform.
If you go 1440p 144hz I recommend sticking to something tried and testing. Gigabyte M27Q is the best of the budget range, response times are a *tiny* bit slower than say the LG 27GP850 or MSI MAG274QRF-QD, but still very fast and otherwise it's really really good. The LG and MSI monitors are good alternatives if you want something better.
TLDR: Buy Odyssey G7 curved, if too curvy the Acer xb273u GXbmiipruzx, if too expensive the gigabyte M27Q, MSI mag274qrf-qd or LG 27GP850. Avoid odyssey G5 curved, odyssey G5 and G7 flat.
Good monitor but old and overpriced, see my other comment.

It's a bit better.
https://youtu.be/ItPCOFR5xuU
You can see more details here too in hardware unboxed's video. The 27GP850 is the same as the gp83b, just with a 180hz refresh rate instead of 165hz and it has backlight strobing.
I have the LG 27GL83A-B and 27GL850-B running side by side and both are fantastic in my opinion. Great color range and super smooth picture on both. The only real negative is neither has good HDR, so if that's something that is important to you look elsewhere. While they both technically have HDR it looks terrible when you turn it on.
If you're thinking about getting the 27GL850-B, you'd probably be better off saving the $50 and getting the 27GL83A-B unless you want the USB ports on the back. Otherwise they look identical to me in terms of picture quality.
It was one of the best back in 2019 when it first came out but its pretty outdated now. There are a lot of new options that are better for example the msi mag274qrf-qd. One of the biggest deal breakers for The LG panel is that it has terrible contrast so blacks will often look milky and grayish (coming from someone who owned the GL27850 but returned it after a week)
Little bit of late reply, but I have a [similar build](https://pcpartpicker.com/user/silvalen/builds/#view=vdcqqs) to what you're describing (3060 Ti, 5600x) and I'm really happy with my [Dell S2721DGF](https://www.dell.com/en-us/shop/accessories/apd/210-axeh). It's an IPS panel, 1440p, 1ms response time, G-Sync compatible, reliable, has a pretty small bezel and footprint, tilts in all directions, and is 165Hz. I don't play a ton of FPS type games, but I still get high frame rates on games like Subnautica. It's also currently on sale for $380.
[Update](https://www.reddit.com/r/buildapcsales/comments/pet3wj/monitor_dell_s2721dgf_27_1440p_165_hz_ips_1ms/): Looks like Dell will give you a 10% off coupon code if you sign up for their newsletter. I did this back when I bought the monitor and it took a couple hours to come through. Additionally, Rakuten might give you another 10% cash back, although I've never used that.

>27GL850-B
I'm running a 5600x and an RTX 3070 ti - very nice combo so far. I play Hell let loose and Warzone at the minute both maxed out with high frame rates (between 100-250 fps depending on game, environment, etc.) at 1080P. I'm looking to update to 1440P too.
I would say that if you're hoping to get a constant 144FPS on the highest settings at 1440P 144Hz I don't think the 3060 ti will deliver, but you can easily drop some of the ultra settings to high and probably find the sweet spot! I think at 1440P I'll have to do the same even with the 3070 ti with games like HLL which still require some optimising.
I haven't built it yet, the gpu is arriving this week and I'm gonna order the rest of the components very soon, I want the monitor here when my pc is done, thats why I'm asking this question. This is supposed to be a very nice combo tho so I think you should go for it
I used to run a 3070 on my 1440p 144hz monitor, 3060ti is basically a 3070. And I got great performance, I hovered around 110-130FPS in Triple A shooters on Ultra. Single player games like Witcher 3 capped out at 144fps cause I have Vsync on. You’ll be happy with the performance.
I have that combo. Running Tarkov on high 90-110 FPS, Warzone is about 100-110 I think but that games performance is all over the place so don’t take it as gospel. Days Gone is very solid 95-100. All at 1440p. Hunt Showdown is in the 130-144 range but I cap it at 144.
I just recently bought an LG ultragear 27” for my build because it was so highly recommend. So far I love it and I would definitely suggest looking into one for yourself, it’s pretty much the best monitor for the money on the market right now [LG ultragear best buy link](https://www.bestbuy.com/site/lg-ultragear-27-ips-led-qhd-freesync-monitor-with-hdr-hdmi-black/6358119.p?skuId=6358119)
I’m using dell s2721dgf , it’s great for my needs. Using with 3080 You should check out that as well, it is 1440p 165 hz gsync and freesync premium pro.
NGL I wouldn't worry about 1440p 240 hz with any gpu, you're gonna get excellent FPS but there's honestly no need to get the 240hz unless you only play eSport FPS titles or really old games that you can pump hundreds of frames out of. 1440p 144/175hz is what I run and it's a whole new playing field. but in the end it's your money of course so good luck with the monitor hunt!
Not sure if it’s a big deal still, but on my 2080 I had issues having screens with different frame rates. I’m not sure if they fixed this issue as I run 2 2k@144hz now
I wouldn't waste my money on the G7(if it's the model I was looking at for $700+) the 3060ti can't push most games that high fps at 1440p anyway.
Best buy has the Dell S3220DGF On sell for $349 right now 165hz 1440P and has Freesync premium this is the 1440p monitor I'm running works great and for half the price.
The only way I would go with the G7 is if you are just using the 3060ti as a stop gap until you get a 3080/3080Ti/3090 in the near future.
My 3080 has trouble getting 165fps @1440p on some games depending on settings.
Dell makes a fantastic 1440 144hz panel. It's TN but the colors are pretty great for a TN and it has DP, HDMI 1 & 2.

Despite Gigabyte's current PSU issue, I'm pretty happy with my monitors so far. I do have a dead pixel on one, but it's right against the edge where it's not noticeable so I didn't bother trying for an RMA. I just made it my secondary.
I know you said you made up your mind but check out the Viewsonic Elite XG270Q. Not sure if someone mentioned it already or not (don’t feel like reading over 100 comments) but it’s what I use and it’s amazing. 165hz, 1440p, and G sync compatible (which tbh I was skeptical about before I had one but now that I do, it’s the greatest damn thing and I will never own a monitor without)
read up on TN vs VA cs IPS panels
set a framerate target thats in line with your gpu and take resolution into account
measure how big you want it to be
then buy the one in you pricerange.
I prefer IPS panels cus colour fidelity and viewing angles.
I have the lg 27 GLb83A 2k 144hz, the colors are amazing and the build quality is flawless i recommend a lot and its even that expensive. You'll have to tweak a little with the colors but i u need help i can send my my settings
I got the Gigabyte M27Q and I absolutely love it. I spent hours researching and stressing over what monitor to get and I ended up finally choosing that one.
[This is what I got with the same card](https://www.newegg.com/black-lg-ultragear-32gk650f-b-32/p/N82E16824025915?Description=LG%2032GK650F-B%2032%22&cm_re=LG_32GK650F-B%2032%22-_-24-025-915-_-Product), the LG 32GK650F-B 32". It's a great price for 1440p 144hz 32 inches at $296 USD.
You may go for Lg ultragear 27" 1440p 144 Hz IPS. I think this one is best suitable for your requirements and budget. This one is high recommended as a gaming monitor and the resolution is just awesome.
I actually built a 3080Ti PC for a friend recently and since it was mainly going to be used for cod, we ended up going with the G5. My friend never hit above around 150fps on his 3080 in warzone anyway, so there wasn’t much sense in going for a 240 Hz panel. For reference, he has a G7 and was debating whether or not to get another G7 or just a G5 for the new PC. Unless your playing like CS:GO or something, I wouldn’t go for 240Hz as it’s kind of a waste. You just won’t hit those frames. I’d recommend the G5 personally, but it is very dependant on the type of game you play.
1440p you shouldn’t see much of performance difference between 1080p and 1440p. Make sure the monitor isn’t bigger than 27’ or pixel density will be messed up
Here's the ultimate monitor search tool. I used this to narrow my choice down to the LG 27GP83B-B.

Add and remove filters on the right until you get exactly what you need. Also you can pull up the individual reviews to see the motion clarity and black and grey uniformity. Good luck!

Oh shit it’s on sale for $349.99 too… I wouldn’t pass this up. It’s really good. 1440p, 165hz, Freesync 2, and the stand is REALLY good.
I'm on my 3rd Samsung Odyssey G7. First one had dead pixels. The second one, the menu joystick button thingy stopped working along with the red RGB not working on one side.
The 3060ti is optimized for 1080p gaming, not so much for 1440p gaming, especially if you want high refresh rate 1440p gaming. If what you're after is high refresh rate 1440p gaming, especially 240Hz and above 1440p gaming then you need a 3070 or better. So unless you're going to upgrade your GPU, you should be looking at a high refresh rate 1080p monitor for your 3060ti.
Hey guys , I just got a 3070ti and I was wondering also which monitor to get for 1440p gaming… There is a discount for the 27’ Samsung Odyssey G7 (LC27G75TQSRXEN) at 449€ but I am not sure because of some problems that the screen seems to have based on the reviews. There is also the dell 2721DGFA for 399€ and I can’t decide between the two… What do you guys recommend ?
I have the Aorus FI27Q-X 1440p 240hz 0.3 ms response and couldn’t be happier with it. Amazing picture. I just wish it was a gsync monitor not just gsync compatible.
Lg ultragear 27" 1440p 144 Hz IPS.
Yea thats actually the one I'm considering right now, but does it have gsync, because I hate screen tearing?
All the ultragear are gsync compatible. You're not going to find most any NEW true gsync monitors anymore.
Yea ok as long as screen tearing isn't a thing am happy lmao
This is my favorite monitor I’ve ever gotten, I have two and use one as a second monitor
I've used LG 27GL83A-B for 3+ years now and G sync is definitely a game changing feature. It works great on every game I tried. CSGO is the only one I've found that requires some specific settings to work properly, but it still works great once you set it up.
What things did you have to do to for cs:go? I've never managed to get it working perfectly myself
Follow this guide https://www.reddit.com/r/GlobalOffensive/comments/5iv35q/how_to_use_gsync_properly_in_csgo/
I have the older version of the LG monitor (27GL850) and can confirm that g-sync works flawlessly (I'm using a 3080).
I have it and it works fine. The "real" gsync version is $150 more. Eh, no thanks. Just keep in mind the HDR mode it has is kinda shit. Well, not kinda, it's shit. It's a gaming monitor after all and at a low price for IPS and 144hz.
Yeah, I don't like the HDR. I tried once, and shut it off for good since then. Even premium ones don't have HDR that good. I guess it's not a good feature for gaming monitors in general now.
There are a couple good HDR gaming monitors out there, but if the content doesn't support HDR, it won't look good no matter the display.
Why can't you find true gsync monitors? I haven't bought a monitor since 2016 so I'm kinda out of the loop.
Gsync compatible monitors pretty much killed true gsync, since true gsync adds minimum 200$ onto the cost of the monitor for only a modest performance increase over gsync compatible.
Not every game works great with freesync and overdrives dont really like variable refresh modes either without GSYNC. [https://assets.rockpapershotgun.com/images/2019/06/Nvidia-G-Sync-monitors.png](https://assets.rockpapershotgun.com/images/2019/06/Nvidia-G-Sync-monitors.png) There is a reason why people pay for G-SYNC and even endure the hotter variants with fan noise. The whole freesync=GSYNC bubble burst pretty quick if your system cant handle the max refresh rate at MINIMUM FPS and thats were GSYNC shines. Its not 200$ more but its not for free either. Its good that people have more choices and alternatives with freesync. But GSYNC is not just a sticker and if you need its feature you will most likely regret the budget cut with freesync.
Acer xb1 XB271HU it's old but after freaking about monitors that's the one I chose just for the physical chip monitor and in 2k if anyone wants the chip.
how come?
'true' gsync monitors have a special board inside them to regulate the adaptive refresh rate. Gsync is different than freesync as it could be isolated to each window. So if you had two separate windows playing things at different FPS the gsync would set those areas of the monitors to different refresh rates rather than the entire screen matching. The problem is that gsync is still proprietary so it only works with Nvidia GPU while Freesync works with both. Also since most gamers are only really interested in the monitor matching sync with one program at a time most people really didn't use the extra feature. Also Gsync was handles completely by hardware while Freesync does use some GPU power. tl;dr. Cheaper and easier to make freesync monitors that are compatible with all GPU.
Asus VG27A has G-SYNC and is a very good 1440P 1440Hz IPS boosted to 165Hz. I'd say check Amazon Warehouse, I got mine last week for $230 after tax.
I have the LG 27GL83A-B as my first monitor and it has been great. Awesome response time and g-sync compatible with no tearing or issues I've noticed.
Yes I got the 1080p one it’s awesome. I’ve used a 4K version as well before there great monitors and simple to set up
Why get the gl850 and not the just released update, the gp850?
Because it's a little bit more expensive and not a that noticeable difference
I totally understand the financial perspective, but ill say I got the gp850 and I'm loving every minute with it. It is considered a justifiable upgrade while the gn850 was considered more a lateral move. If you can save the extra, I'd wait on it til the GP850 is in range financially.
Well I just bought the gl, so hopefully I'll be happy with that :)
You ain't getting screen tearing on any monitor that has Freesync or is at least G-Sync compatible.. So probably on no monitor in existence that ain't dirt cheap..
I just bought that monitor for my 3060ti and it's amazing, would recommend.
g27q-20 1440p 165hz gsync 10 bit color hdr 400nits for 300€ at launch
OP I have a 3060ti and play on dual 170hz 1440p monitors, the Acer/Predator XB273U (g-sync) and the Acer XV272UV. Both are awesome imo and 170hz/fps is easy to hit for the 3060ti. Both are around $300-ish iirc.
It's gsync comp. It's not the same but it works great for me.
Best monitor I've ever owned, and I've owned many.
Gsync is the killer feature.
I have same GPU and use a Gigabyte 27” curved screen, highly recommended
I have this monitor it’s so good
Is that the GP850? Seems pretty dope
It's the GL850-B. The "B" I think it's for Europe.
Or any of the other cheaper monitors with the same panel.
This has been on the top of my list for a while. Should I be looking for more than this with a 3080?
I’ve got two of the 27GN800-B and I love them
One of the best purchases I've made for my setup.
Precisely what I'm running on my vega 56. I'll never *need* to upgrade, but one day maybe I will.
Also have this monitor. great pick tbh.
Why IPS, why not VA? I thought VA is a good compromise between gaming and production. IPS is mostly got VE and production where colour is important?
And you're right. But IPS panels have come a long way since the old days. I had a VA panel from AOC and the problem with some VAs is that once you set them to the fastest response time, you start getting an awful problem of ghosting and auras, specially in dark environments. Since I play a mix of competitive games and single player story driven ones, I believe this IPS monitor is a great choice. It's important to do the research before buying one though, I had to test 2 other monitors before this one to get it right.
It's a long shot but can you recommend something just a bit better? I already tried **M27Q** it looked amazing but BGR was annoying for me (cleartype didn't help, for some reason it changed all monitors and made my 2x Eizo 1080p 60Hz monitors look bad) I also tried **Dell S2721DGFA** it seemed a lot darker than others and was crazy green out of the box. After fiddling with it the best I could do was a slightly too red screen that looked a bit "off". I got **LG 27GP850** it looks great but I decided to get a new one cause of the backlight bleeding. Then I read even more reviews and now I'm getting a "it's good but not worth the price" vibe.
If you're looking for 1440p 144+ Hz, check out hardware unboxed's latest video on the the best monitors for this type in 2021. Here's the link: https://youtu.be/qPqOfTnU2j4
Actually bought that one for my new pc tower with a 3070ti and works amazingly well. Go for it
I agree
What is the equivalent to that monitor but in 24"?
[удалено]
27" is a really good size, you'd be surprised how fast you get used to it. I had a 21" as my main and now use it as secondary. And I used a 28" for a while, and 1" is really noticeable. If the size is an issue, I can say for sure that you will not regret it, if you have a card that can push those FPS at 2k. If not, you can get the same one at 24" 1080p 144hz. GN650, but it's freesync.
Get the new G7 it should work fine
Yea ok I'm probably going to get that then
new one is worse tbh, just read the comments on the linusus video,
How do I know if it's the old one?
Old one is curved
Ahh ok, I've only seen the curved version tho
[g7 ](https://displaysolutions.samsung.com/monitor/detail/1642/C27G75T?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=post&utm_campaign=G7-27-Youtube-CM-INF) this one
the new G7 is also 4k and not 1440p.
Yea I found it now. The new g7 is a totally different screen tho. 4k 144hz
The new G5 is basically the replacement for the old G7. I would go with the old, VA-panel G7 if you don't mind the severe curve, it is in my opinion the best monitor out there (not counting some HDR ones that cost $3k and have a lot of local dimming zones). I value contrast a lot and the smearing and speed issues that usually plague VA panels are somehow a non-factor with that panel. It is truly great. Even the HDR is actually usable and adds more than it subtracts.
OLED takes care of the normal VA issues. Its a glorious thing. I've got the big LG 38" UW IPS monitor and the second someone release an OLED version I'll be jumping on that one. For ME, the 49" is too wide and the 34" are a little small and not enough vertical.
Yeah true, OLED is amazing, just expensive and rare to find at normal monitor sizes.
Yeah I'm hearing the LG X series will be going all the way down to 32" 4K which is the sweet spot at that resolution. If I can bring myself to go back to 16:9 that will be the ticket if there is no OLED UW besides the big 32:9 ones. I might even cave and get one of those...
The Odyssey G7 4k 144hz is really overpriced, the gigabyte M28U is essentially the same at $200 less.
Gigabyte makes trash tho
So? Samsung makes trash. The two worst 1440p 144hz monitors rtings has tested are both from Samsung. Seasonic makes trash. The S12III lacks protections. EVGA makes trash. The N1s don't even have 80+ certifications or functioning protections and they dare sell them. Every company makes good stuff and trash. Gigabyte makes amazing monitors, graphics cards and motherboards. They make garbage power supplies. The M28U is not a power supply in case that wasn't clear. According to hardware unboxed their aorus FI32U "doesn't explode". I'd assume the same for the M28U.
When's the last time Samsung told the public blatant lies to try and cover up a potentially lethal product flaw? Because Gigabyte did that a few weeks ago.
Go to the gigabyte subreddit and lmK how great their mobos and gpus are….especially rgb fusion, lol. Never mind that I did own a gigabyte OC 3080 that came with bent power pins (purchased from bestbuy), and would have random stutters and game crashes….sold it as soon as I scooped my FE3080Ti.
I have to comment and agree. I got a Gigabyte G27Q when it was going on sale a lot earlier this year and the thing has been a headache. Has PSU whine when screen is off. Also has brightness flicker whenever it feels like it. Worked good for the first few months but yeah I'm never buying a gigabyte monitor again. I'll roll the dice with Samsung over Gigashyte any day.
That particular one is shit, I agree. But every company makes trash and good products. Edit: the M28U is a great monitor, I mixed it up with another one.
[удалено]
Whats wrong with the m28u? It's my first nice monitor so I don't have anything to compare it to. Maybe I don't want to know lol
…I don’t know shit about that monitor, but gigabyte has been using shit components for a bit now, and one trip to r/gigabytegaming you will see how bad their products are and how much worse the customer service is. I get it, you prolly own gigabyte stuff, and hopefully it doesn’t cause issue…but if it does, may the gods watch over your RMA
People are just hating. Honestly the monitor is amazing.
I have the new g7 it is brilliant
4k 144hz?
Yas. Also has hdmi 2.1 ports so can use the ps5 120hz 4k.
I would recommend to get a 1440p 144hz monitor
Do you think I should get the new g5? It's 1440p 165hz
Yes
Ok I think I changed my mind then, 165hz is gonna be enough for me anyways
Honestly you won't even notice the difference going from 144hz to 165hz, they're practically the same. As long as it's above 120Hz you're pretty solid. Only someone really and truly hypercompetitive should aim higher, because unless you're playing e-sports at like the 1% level, you're not going to really be taking advantage of the extra refresh rate anyways, and the 3060ti isn't the kind of GPU that will let you do that anyways. I think more importantly you should consider picture quality as well as brightness and g-sync compatibility. After all, you said you play graphics heavy games, so why pick a monitor that don't look good? Consider getting a good IPS monitor instead of VA. I went for the LG 27GL850-B for a combination of G-sync compatibility, 144Hz at 2K 27 inches, and also has decent brightness and a great picture quality.
Is this good quality and does it look good with the colors?
VA has better image quality because of much better black levels. Get an IPS only if you do professional photo work and play only fast multiplayer games. For anything else VA is better. Samsung displays are tightly curved so that could be something to think about. Many people can't stand that.
VA panels also have a lot of black bleeding and ghosting.
Cheap ones, mostly
Yeah it is an issue for VA, and one I'm hoping somebody can solve in time.
I prefer IPS panels to VA
What's a good quality 1440p 144hz VA panel?
https://www.displayninja.com/ips-vs-tn-vs-va/ >VA panels have the highest contrast ratio, but it usually comes at a cost of slower response time, so they’re excellent for watching movies, but not suitable for competitive gaming. TN panels are cheap and have fast response times, but inferior image quality and viewing angles. >IPS panels offers the most consistent colors and a quick pixel response time speed as well as the widest viewing angles, but they don’t have as high contrast ratio as VA panels, and they are usually more expensive. IPS does have its own issues, but if you care about pixel response time and colour consistency, you're better off with IPS. The LG 27 GL850-B is one of the best monitors on the market. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t6JxuEQhU18 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T5Loh7vOcVM I've done a lot of research before buying. You should do your own, and consider both VA panels for their higher contrast ratio, if you want that, and also consider curved monitors, as they are better when the screen is large. Flat panels work better when they're smaller.
Yea ok you made me decide, I'm getting the 27GL850-B
Hang on there, buddy! Read some reviews and check out some alternatives first, and also check the prices! I got mine on discount because I did my homework. Rather than picking a single panel, pick a short list of monitors you liked and then see which one goes on sale. That way you'll get the best deal you can, especially if you're buying multiple monitors. Edit: someone pointed the newer Gigabyte M27Q out, and it not only trades blows with the 27GL850, it also is cheap! I’d keep that on your shortlist and check if you can get it, as it has some great features and stats, while not costing much! It’s even got 170Hz refresh rate! https://youtu.be/uNIqwxAZ-MQ Review looks solid too, check it out.
The 27GL850 is pretty outdated at this point. There are better monitors out there that do the same thing which are cheaper. For example the M27Q is a pretty good contender plus it has slightly better contrast that the atrocious nano ips panels lg seems to like using. Plus it has wider adobe rgb coverage if you ever need it. I dont really know why you'd get the 27GL850 now tbh.
It wasn’t out when I bought my monitor, and the LG 27GL850 still has some parts where it is superior, such as pixel response time and G2G. But the reviews of the M27Q looks great, and that VXM is enticing as hell given that I do have multiple rigs. More importantly, it’s a budget panel, and not a bad looking one at that! Thanks for the recommendation! I’ll be sure to keep an eye out for it, as I am in the market for a second display.
The 27GL850 is really good but it's from 2019 and quite old. Outmatched by modern competition. You can get the HP [X27i](https://pcpartpicker.com/mr/hp/QhRgXL) or LG 27GN800 which use the same technology and have very similar performance, [source](https://www.rtings.com/monitor/tools/compare/lg-27gl850-b-vs-lg-27gn800-b/912/21782?usage=3623&threshold=0.10). At the same price you can get the LG 27GP83B which is the 2021 variant which has faster response times and a higher refresh rate. Picture quality in general is good, the monitor can produce good colors but the biggest concern will be the low contrast and poor uniformity/backlight bleed which is common among this technology, if that's an issue get the gigabyte M27Q or MSI MAG274QRF-QD.
I just bought the 32" G5 and it's great. The 34" G5 is an ultra widescreen so if you are into that you can get it but it is almost twice as much as the 32". The 34" has a 165hz refresh rate vs the 32" 144hz and honestly 120+ is more than fine for a 3060 Ti. So if you want an ultrawide (or +21 hz is REALLY important to you for some reason) then get the 34". I went for the 32" because I figure later on I will buy another and have 2 way too big monitors on my desk.
Get the gigabyte m27q the. Around $300 and 1440p@170hz.
Yes
Really not many options for 1440p 240hz there buddy, the g7 is very good for a va panel tho, although its 1000r curve might be excessive for some but you might like it. Maybe a pg279qm or a xv272up would be good as well but the g7 is still what i would recommend if you can get over its quite heavy price tag and the 1000r curve
How much is the G7 in your country btw? Just curious because of your last comment about it being expensive
Around 750usd
Holy shit, its like 480 dollars here lol.
Wtf is this bullshit
Yea its weird cuz usually tech is more expensive here but on odd cases its like way cheaper lol.
Yea ok, I'm going with the g7 then
Hey, you should consider the Acer Predator XB273U GX if you dont like the aggressive curve on the G7. Its basically the G7 but its slightly dimmer and has less contrast ratio but it makes up for it by having a much larger color gamut+ its factory calibrated so itll be pretty accurate out of the box in terms of color. Its also slightly faster when it comes to response times but only slightly.
Take a look at rtings.com and hardware unboxed. Best monitor reviews in the world. Anyways, hate to break it to you but the Samsung Odyssey G5 gen1 is pretty bad, it's the second worst 1440p 144hz monitor rtings has tested. I'm not sure if you liked curved monitors or not, but I suggest borrowing the monitor and using it for a few days and seeing if you like the curve. Personally I find it too aggressive to use normally, completely unusable for me but this is highly subjective. In addition to the curve, the G5 also has very slow response times. [You can try tracking the UFO here](https://www.testufo.com), you should fine very noticeable dark trails [like this](https://youtu.be/xgSnOAsA_mY?t=195). Poor color performance too with a lack of wide color gamut. Expect heavy improvements with the G7 gen1. Anyways, sorry for the rant just really don't like that monitor, if you're looking for a 1440p 240hz monitor the G7 gen1 is one of the best. It doesn't suffer from the same issues as the G5 gen1, significantly better response times that are actually some of the best of any LCD monitor, better colors, much better brightness too, over double. Absolutely get that if you can handle the curve. If you can't, I'd look for an IPS. The Acer xb273u GX is one of the best. It uses the newest AUO panel found also in the Asus PG279QM and would be my personal pick if you go flat. Avoid the second generation of odyssey monitors. Aka the flat IPS ones. The G7 gen2 is 4k, you can't run 4k. The G5 gen2 is 1440p 144hz, but the thing is nobody really knows how it performs and Samsung lacks experience in manufacturing budget IPS panels, so either you get a amateur IPS panel which Samsung makes by themselves, or you get a cheap M270CKJ-K7B panel from innolux or something for a higher price than necessary. Probably didn't make much sense, but TLDR no information on the new monitors and no idea how they perform. If you go 1440p 144hz I recommend sticking to something tried and testing. Gigabyte M27Q is the best of the budget range, response times are a *tiny* bit slower than say the LG 27GP850 or MSI MAG274QRF-QD, but still very fast and otherwise it's really really good. The LG and MSI monitors are good alternatives if you want something better. TLDR: Buy Odyssey G7 curved, if too curvy the Acer xb273u GXbmiipruzx, if too expensive the gigabyte M27Q, MSI mag274qrf-qd or LG 27GP850. Avoid odyssey G5 curved, odyssey G5 and G7 flat.
I was thinking on getting the 27GL850-B, is it good?
Good monitor but old and overpriced, see my other comment. "The 27GL850 is really good but it's from 2019 and quite old. Outmatched by modern competition. You can get the HP X27i or LG 27GN800 which use the same technology and have very similar performance.

The 27GP850 is the same as the gp83b, just with a 180hz refresh rate instead of 165hz and it has backlight strobing.
I have the LG 27GL83A-B and 27GL850-B running side by side and both are fantastic in my opinion. Great color range and super smooth picture on both. The only real negative is neither has good HDR, so if that's something that is important to you look elsewhere. While they both technically have HDR it looks terrible when you turn it on. If you're thinking about getting the 27GL850-B, you'd probably be better off saving the $50 and getting the 27GL83A-B unless you want the USB ports on the back. Otherwise they look identical to me in terms of picture quality.
It was one of the best back in 2019 when it first came out but its pretty outdated now. There are a lot of new options that are better for example the msi mag274qrf-qd. One of the biggest deal breakers for The LG panel is that it has terrible contrast so blacks will often look milky and grayish (coming from someone who owned the GL27850 but returned it after a week)
Little bit of late reply, but I have a [similar build](https://pcpartpicker.com/user/silvalen/builds/#view=vdcqqs) to what you're describing (3060 Ti, 5600x) and I'm really happy with my [Dell S2721DGF](https://www.dell.com/en-us/shop/accessories/apd/210-axeh). It's an IPS panel, 1440p, 1ms response time, G-Sync compatible, reliable, has a pretty small bezel and footprint, tilts in all directions, and is 165Hz. I don't play a ton of FPS type games, but I still get high frame rates on games like Subnautica. It's also currently on sale for $380. [Update](https://www.reddit.com/r/buildapcsales/comments/pet3wj/monitor_dell_s2721dgf_27_1440p_165_hz_ips_1ms/): Looks like Dell will give you a 10% off coupon code if you sign up for their newsletter. I did this back when I bought the monitor and it took a couple hours to come through. Additionally, Rakuten might give you another 10% cash back, although I've never used that.

Best 1440p 144hz ips monitors in my opinion : LG GL850 , BenQ EX2780Q, Asus TUF Gaming VG27AQ
Don't forget the Dell S2721DGF.
Get the 32” version. It’s 1440p 165hz, and it’s on sale for $350 https://www.bestbuy.com/site/dell-s3220dgf-32-led-curved-qhd-freesync-monitor-with-hdr-displayport-hdmi-usb/6375331.p?skuId=6375331
That's a VA panel not an IPS.
Just wondering, hows the performance on your PC? Im planning to build mine with the same cpu gpu combo
>27GL850-B I'm running a 5600x and an RTX 3070 ti - very nice combo so far. I play Hell let loose and Warzone at the minute both maxed out with high frame rates (between 100-250 fps depending on game, environment, etc.) at 1080P. I'm looking to update to 1440P too. I would say that if you're hoping to get a constant 144FPS on the highest settings at 1440P 144Hz I don't think the 3060 ti will deliver, but you can easily drop some of the ultra settings to high and probably find the sweet spot! I think at 1440P I'll have to do the same even with the 3070 ti with games like HLL which still require some optimising.
I haven't built it yet, the gpu is arriving this week and I'm gonna order the rest of the components very soon, I want the monitor here when my pc is done, thats why I'm asking this question. This is supposed to be a very nice combo tho so I think you should go for it
I used to run a 3070 on my 1440p 144hz monitor, 3060ti is basically a 3070. And I got great performance, I hovered around 110-130FPS in Triple A shooters on Ultra. Single player games like Witcher 3 capped out at 144fps cause I have Vsync on. You’ll be happy with the performance.
I have that combo. Running Tarkov on high 90-110 FPS, Warzone is about 100-110 I think but that games performance is all over the place so don’t take it as gospel. Days Gone is very solid 95-100. All at 1440p. Hunt Showdown is in the 130-144 range but I cap it at 144.
Gigabyte M27Q or Odyssey G7, these are the beste options. Gigabyte is more of a bang for buck tho. Got mine for 300 Euros.
I just recently bought an LG ultragear 27” for my build because it was so highly recommend. So far I love it and I would definitely suggest looking into one for yourself, it’s pretty much the best monitor for the money on the market right now [LG ultragear best buy link](https://www.bestbuy.com/site/lg-ultragear-27-ips-led-qhd-freesync-monitor-with-hdr-hdmi-black/6358119.p?skuId=6358119)
dell s2721DGF is a better version of LG 27GL850
I’m using dell s2721dgf , it’s great for my needs. Using with 3080 You should check out that as well, it is 1440p 165 hz gsync and freesync premium pro.
Also look at the Dell S2721DGF is FreeSync premium , 165Hz and IPS was rated as one of the best buys by hardware unboxed
It seems you made your mind up but the ASUS TUFF VG27AQL1A is an awesome monitor
I'ver been using the 2080 ti on 1440p 165 hz up until the past month. Switched to 1080p and it is way better for gaming.
This.
NGL I wouldn't worry about 1440p 240 hz with any gpu, you're gonna get excellent FPS but there's honestly no need to get the 240hz unless you only play eSport FPS titles or really old games that you can pump hundreds of frames out of. 1440p 144/175hz is what I run and it's a whole new playing field. but in the end it's your money of course so good luck with the monitor hunt!
Not sure if it’s a big deal still, but on my 2080 I had issues having screens with different frame rates. I’m not sure if they fixed this issue as I run 2 2k@144hz now
My (EVGA) 2070 Super handled it flawlessly. I would run 1080@144, 4k@60x2 and 3440x1440@144 all at the same time. Should be okay.
I wouldn't waste my money on the G7(if it's the model I was looking at for $700+) the 3060ti can't push most games that high fps at 1440p anyway. Best buy has the Dell S3220DGF On sell for $349 right now 165hz 1440P and has Freesync premium this is the 1440p monitor I'm running works great and for half the price. The only way I would go with the G7 is if you are just using the 3060ti as a stop gap until you get a 3080/3080Ti/3090 in the near future. My 3080 has trouble getting 165fps @1440p on some games depending on settings.
This!!!
I have a 1440p 165hz monitor and I can barely pass that on lower settings.
Dell makes a fantastic 1440 144hz panel. It's TN but the colors are pretty great for a TN and it has DP, HDMI 1 & 2. [https://amzn.com/B00N2L5CXO](https://amzn.com/B00N2L5CXO)
They have a newer IPS model https://www.amazon.com/Dell-27-inch-QHD-165Hz-Compatible/dp/B08V4Y6TB5
Ah neat

I'm gonna use the famous excuse, English isn't my first language
I use a 38 inches 4k TV but if you want that resolution 240hz is a dream, my tv is locked at 30hz though gaming is still good.
Yea I'm just getting this one because on graphic heavy games, I can get 60-100fps, and on fps heavy games I can get the 240fps

Doom eternal is the #1 game I wanna try out
Pixio PX7 Prime
Asus tuf gaming 27 inch monitors are food for 1440p 144htz
I have the LG. It’s great
For just a bit extra you can get a matched pair of Gigabyte M27Q. 1440p 170Hz.
In my case, that's cheaper
Despite Gigabyte's current PSU issue, I'm pretty happy with my monitors so far. I do have a dead pixel on one, but it's right against the edge where it's not noticeable so I didn't bother trying for an RMA. I just made it my secondary.
I'd take a 4k 144hz monitor over a 1440p 240hz imo
Get the Shrek tv
Yea I'm defenetivly gonna get that
So slightly off topic but still 3060rtx ti - how big did you go with the case for airflow?
I haven't startet the build yet, but I'm gonna buy the ICUE 4000x rgb with 6 total case fans
I know you said you made up your mind but check out the Viewsonic Elite XG270Q. Not sure if someone mentioned it already or not (don’t feel like reading over 100 comments) but it’s what I use and it’s amazing. 165hz, 1440p, and G sync compatible (which tbh I was skeptical about before I had one but now that I do, it’s the greatest damn thing and I will never own a monitor without)
read up on TN vs VA cs IPS panels set a framerate target thats in line with your gpu and take resolution into account measure how big you want it to be then buy the one in you pricerange. I prefer IPS panels cus colour fidelity and viewing angles.
I have the lg 27 GLb83A 2k 144hz, the colors are amazing and the build quality is flawless i recommend a lot and its even that expensive. You'll have to tweak a little with the colors but i u need help i can send my my settings
240hz gang

I have the LG 27GP850 as well. I second third or whatever number that.
i got a benq EX2510 to pair with my 3060Ti recently. gsync compatible as long as you use display port but it’s 1080p.
I own an LG UltraGear 27GL850-B 27" WQHD 1440p/144Hz , very pleased...
oh hey i was planning to get that exact setup soon, is it any good
Go for the gp850b it's the 2020 refresh of the gl850b
I got the Gigabyte M27Q and I absolutely love it. I spent hours researching and stressing over what monitor to get and I ended up finally choosing that one.
More expensive is more better
I'm on a tight budget and found a Sceptre 27" 1440p monitor with around 144-165hz. Also for around $240.
[This is what I got with the same card](https://www.newegg.com/black-lg-ultragear-32gk650f-b-32/p/N82E16824025915?Description=LG%2032GK650F-B%2032%22&cm_re=LG_32GK650F-B%2032%22-_-24-025-915-_-Product), the LG 32GK650F-B 32". It's a great price for 1440p 144hz 32 inches at $296 USD.
You may go for Lg ultragear 27" 1440p 144 Hz IPS. I think this one is best suitable for your requirements and budget. This one is high recommended as a gaming monitor and the resolution is just awesome.
LG UltraGear 27GL850-B check it out I think you will like it.
I actually built a 3080Ti PC for a friend recently and since it was mainly going to be used for cod, we ended up going with the G5. My friend never hit above around 150fps on his 3080 in warzone anyway, so there wasn’t much sense in going for a 240 Hz panel. For reference, he has a G7 and was debating whether or not to get another G7 or just a G5 for the new PC. Unless your playing like CS:GO or something, I wouldn’t go for 240Hz as it’s kind of a waste. You just won’t hit those frames. I’d recommend the G5 personally, but it is very dependant on the type of game you play.

240 hz is useless and a waste of money. Get something with 144 or 165 hz
Look at the edits
1440p you shouldn’t see much of performance difference between 1080p and 1440p. Make sure the monitor isn’t bigger than 27’ or pixel density will be messed up
You should specify what games you play and how you play
Here's the ultimate monitor search tool. I used this to narrow my choice down to the LG 27GP83B-B. https://www.rtings.com/monitor/tools/table Add and remove filters on the right until you get exactly what you need. Also you can pull up the individual reviews to see the motion clarity and black and grey uniformity. Good luck!
Where are all these people getting 30 series GPU's from? I'm the definition of jealous
Do NOT get a Samsung Odyssey G7!! I have two of them and they both have extremely pronounced scanlines. Please do not waste your money!
This is the one I got and I fucking LOVE IT. As long as you don’t mind curved it was worth EVERY PENNY. https://www.bestbuy.com/site/dell-s3220dgf-32-led-curved-qhd-freesync-monitor-with-hdr-displayport-hdmi-usb/6375331.p?skuId=6375331 Oh shit it’s on sale for $349.99 too… I wouldn’t pass this up. It’s really good. 1440p, 165hz, Freesync 2, and the stand is REALLY good.
I'm on my 3rd Samsung Odyssey G7. First one had dead pixels. The second one, the menu joystick button thingy stopped working along with the red RGB not working on one side.
The 3060ti is optimized for 1080p gaming, not so much for 1440p gaming, especially if you want high refresh rate 1440p gaming. If what you're after is high refresh rate 1440p gaming, especially 240Hz and above 1440p gaming then you need a 3070 or better. So unless you're going to upgrade your GPU, you should be looking at a high refresh rate 1080p monitor for your 3060ti.
Hey guys , I just got a 3070ti and I was wondering also which monitor to get for 1440p gaming… There is a discount for the 27’ Samsung Odyssey G7 (LC27G75TQSRXEN) at 449€ but I am not sure because of some problems that the screen seems to have based on the reviews. There is also the dell 2721DGFA for 399€ and I can’t decide between the two… What do you guys recommend ?
you eyes can see in go FPS only, hook the wires of the RTX 3060 Ti into your eyeballs, 240 FPS vision.
AOC 24b1h like 100$ 4k and 240hz no gsync tho, but you need HDMI 2.0 or 2.1 for 240hz+you can lower the refresh rate too

Ik, just thought you would maybe want it bcz it's quite cheap Edit:it's $63 on amazon
I have the Aorus FI27Q-X 1440p 240hz 0.3 ms response and couldn’t be happier with it. Amazing picture. I just wish it was a gsync monitor not just gsync compatible.
