I've looked eBay, staticice, and Google Products. I'd prefer cheaper, but it seems like 90% of the product listings for this kind of monitor are sold out everywhere. 27 inches would be best, but I guess larger would be okay. but my dual monitor arms will only fit 27 inches or under. I could just the stand if there is a good deal on a 32 or 31.5 inch display.

It just needs a resolution of 2560x1440 (QHD/WQHD). And it has to be an IPS panel. And it needs at least a headphone jack to get audio out of HDMI, not necessarily speakers though speakers are usually a good indication that there is a headphone jack.

EDIT: So I went with VX3276-2K, and although the colors are a little crushed and the matte coating took a minute to get used to, I am happy with it. Viewing angles are good, size is good, it's light and portable. Games from consoles look really good on it. I might have been happier with a different model but the cheaper ones are all out of stock right now so for right now I'm happy with this one.

    VX3276-2K ~$300 ticks all the boxes.

      That could do it. Where did you see it available for about $300?

      • Hybroid on 05/04/2020 - 02:48

        Purchased it from Umart for $299 a year ago. Seems it's $349 nowadays due to high demand.

          In the end I just ordered this one. Paid $399 for it which seems like a lot for the cheapest panel. But I don't want to wait until May for a better one or cheaper one to be in stock. It might be able to moonlight as a TV at 32 inches.

            @AustriaBargain: Good choice. I think you'll be pretty happy with it esp since you're not paying $600+. Keep us posted.

              @Hybroid: Yeah I could just buy a different one on sale two years from now on the cheap. 32 inches is too big for my monitor arm so I might keep this on the stand next to the two arms. I chose express postage so I should be able to report on the screen soon.

    i want the same specs but with at least a 120ghz refresh rate

      +5

      You want it to be able to refresh 120 billion times per second?

      There's a few, usually at 144Hz and above $500
      Acer Predator XB271HU
      Acer Nitro VG271UP
      LG UltraGear 27GL850
      ViewSonic XG2703
      ViewSonic VX2758-2KP-MHD

      I own the a ViewSonic VX2758-2KP-MHD and kind of regret the purchase. A stuck pixel appeared 2 months into it and ViewSonic refuses to replace it as it's outside the 30 DOA period. Maybe I got unlucky but it's pretty disappointing.

    Was on the same boat and best bang for buck was 32", since most 27" are priced higher than 32". So went with LG 32GK850F-B from mwave. Good one.

    • Cheapascents on 10/04/2020 - 01:57

      why would 1440p 27 inch monitors be priced higher than 32 inch 1440p monitors?
