Monitors 27-inch monitor suggestions

I haven't bought a new monitor over the past several years and the market as well as user expectations are always changing. I now have to decide on a 27-inch FHD monitor for a close friend who's always depended on me for his hardware requirements.

The primary use of the monitor will be for video editing and MS Flight Simulator - two use cases where I have almost no personal experience. Budget is not fixed but he's not aiming for a high-end model. The cheaper the better but quality should be reasonable.

Any suggestions?
 
Why get 27” FHD? I would recommend 27” QHD. I have a 27” FHD which I got as a replacement for my G24F and it’s pretty bad for my usecase.

Go with 27” FHD only if viewing distance is more than 3 feet.

I'll suggest avoiding FHD/1080p at 27 inch.
1080p looks good upto 24 inch.
1440p - 27 inch
4k - 32 inch and above
