I am in the market for a 27 inch 2560x1440 monitor that I will be using primary for work and gaming. Budget is 30k. I am primarily looking for good image quality for gaming, high refresh rate, less issues, and good service. Please suggest a good monitor, either from the below ones or a better one if you have any recommendations.
I have these selected, but not finalized.

My thoughts:
- Based on Amazon review comments, I see many people complaining about display issues for the Acer. While I like Acer's pricing and features, I am thinking of skipping Acer for this reason. I also had a cheaper version of Acer monitor die after 2 years in the past.
- The LG 27GP850 seems to be highly recommended, but it was released in 2021. I am guessing LG has better service than Lenovo. I have an nVidia GPU, so I guess LG having nVidia G-Sync is a plus.
- Spec wise, Lenovo R27q-30 looks better than LG 27GP850 and is a newer model, not sure why LG is 10k more. I had a Lenovo laptop die within a few weeks of purchase, so a bit worried about Lenovo's quality.
