I am looking to buy a 1440p gaming monitor preferably with an IPS display with a refresh rate of 165 hz or higher. I got a good deal yesterday on LG 27GS85Q for around 23k but I couldn't find many reviews about the said model and am confused if I should go ahead with my purchase or get another model or a different brand altogether. I was more into buying acer monitors because they were cheap and provided similar features to other brands but heard issues with their products and service. My budget is around 25k. Any advice would be highly appreciated.

0-20k Thread '27" 1440p high refresh rate monitor for gaming/media consumption for around 20k?'

I'm currently using a BenQ GW2480 -- a 24" 1080p 60hz monitor that can't even overclock to 75hz. No freesync/g-sync either. Color accuracy and contrast are pretty mediocre etc. The only saving grace is that it's not a TN panel. So I figure anything in the 20k price range would be a massive upgrade for me, both in terms of spatial and temporal resolution. Variable refresh rate would be a godsend as I'm pretty tired of screen tearing.

In terms of gaming, I mostly play singleplayer titles and I want something that, for example, the new Alan Wake game will look best on, but I will...

If OP is thinking of dual monitors, 27" 1440p (XV272U V3) + 24" 1080p in vertical layout (Acer VG240Ys is 10k + 1.5k for stand) will be good for productivity. I'm using this configuration & would prefer this over 2 horizontal monitors (was using that config initially).

I am planning to upgrade my desktop monitor with a good 27-inch monitor
  • Current Usage includes Development & Gaming
    • Development & FPS Gaming, occasional media consumption
    • For future-proofing: moving to 1440p high refresh rate
  • Ergonomics, mounting stand shouldn't be a bigger concern as I will be vesa mounting it on a dual monitor stand
Available options & prices for ref:
  1. LG 27GN800 - Price: 19k
  2. Gigabyte M27q rev 2.0 - 24k
  3. Gigabyte G27Q - 20k
  4. Acer XV272U-V3 - 15k
  5. LG 27GP850-B - 28.5k - can stretch it if it makes sense
Other lower...
 
Update for future buyers: Went with the LG monitor because I got a good deal with high refresh rate as I play competitive shooters along with AAA titles and I don't regret it one bit. No ghosting, backlight bleed or any issue. My decision to go with LG instead of acer was based mainly on the brand and better support and customer care in my area. Huge upgrade over my benq fhd 75 hz monitor :happy:
