If you had a new PC build with a 2070 Super and played a variety of games from Sports/Racing/FPS and RPG, and I gave you around $500 for a monitor of no smaller than 27 inch and preferably 1440p

What would you buy?

There are SO many monitors out there these days I am finding it pretty hard to pick one.

Was looking at the Viewsonic VX-2758-2KP which has freesync but don't think it is GSync compatible.

Also using a North Bayou monitor arm so something that will fit on that would be great!! (not going to not buy a good monitor because of the arm though)

LG 27GL850 seems a bit out of my price range and doesn't look like the monitor arm will fit it.

Help is needed!

    You can have that price but only 2/3 of what you want, QHD and 27+ inches, not G-Sync.

    One you'd want would be this - https://www.pccasegear.com/products/34212/acer-predator-xb27…

    Or the cheapest would be this - https://www.pccasegear.com/products/48300/asus-tuf-vg27aq-wq…

    G-Sync compatible though, this may suffice - https://www.scorptec.com.au/product/Monitors/25plus-inch/783…

    For reference - https://www.nvidia.com/en-au/geforce/products/g-sync-monitor…

      How much should I care about G-sync? Am I going to sit there cursing myself forever without it?

      I assume the answer is going to be yes :P

    All I can say is, I have the LG 27GL850, and it's a dream. Do not try to save money and NOT get 144hz. It's absolutely worth the investment.

    LG 27GL850 fits on that arm, plus i wouldnt pick a monitor based on if it fits on a cheap part or not.

      Nah I wouldn't. If I got action packed visuals that blow my mind the arm doesn't matter.

    I think for sports, fps and racing games, 100Hz+ is definitely a good choice. G-Sync and G-Sync compatible help when the GPU isn't able to match the full refresh rate of the monitor, G-Sync compatible only goes down to 40Hz, full G-Sync goes all the way to 1Hz, 30Hz/fps is still playable so paying for full G-Sync is a better long term investment, if you only want to keep a monitor for 3 years or so then possibly spending less is fine, 5 years or more I wouldn't spare investing.
