Hi all,

I'm trying to find a third monitor that is under 300$ just for casual web browsing, youtube and sometimes to edit my stream. Im not too sure how many Hz i need to perform this task smoothly but all i need is for it to be 1440p and 27inch to match my main one. Thanks in advance.

edit: I've decided to go with the AOC Q27P1 as of right now, still keeping an eye out for the Viewsonic VA2719 when it is back in stock for my 3rd monitor, thanks all

edit 2: I received the monitor today and everything seems good except for the one thicc of a bezel, its so thick that it makes the my other 27inch monitor looks small. But overall, a great option for a second monitor.

Gaming

    Just do a QHD 27" keyword search on static ice

      I find staticice a bit hard to use but I will give it a go again, thanks for the suggestion

    Viewsonic VA2719-2K or Viewsonic VX2758-PC-MH. It's slightly above your budget. There might be better pricing from other stores.

      damn one of them is 144hz but its curved which i dont really like, will give the other one a look tho, cheers

    If you're patient (and poor like me)they come up on marketplace once in a while. I snagged a basically new 27" curved Samsung for $230 because someone was leaving the country.

      Hmm i’ll definitely keep an eye out, there’s a marketplace section on ozbargain?

        that 4K UHD is gone, did you buy it? that is a g8 buy; I wish I had the money

        • idobebrowsing on 03/07/2020 - 20:36

          someone else must have bought it, was wondering why i couldn't access the website earlier

          • the Unforgiven on 04/07/2020 - 11:32

            @idobebrowsing: some1 must have seen it & grabbed it,
            a 4K monitor for web browsing, a 1080p would be better,
            that's if you have old eyes like mine; I use 3 x 2k's thou :p

            did you check out that 31.5" thou?

              ^ There is a 27” CJG54 Curved Gaming Monitor for $331.65

              • idobebrowsing on 05/07/2020 - 19:15

                @the Unforgiven: I did try out an 1080p monitor for my second, but it does not look good with the sizes different and when dragging across. Also many said 1440p is better at 27 inch and I do believe so as well.

                For the CJG54, I'm trying to find it but couldn't looks like a sweet deal if i manage to find, thanks for the plug

                edit: Just realised its a curved monitor :(( which i don't really like

                • idobebrowsing on 05/07/2020 - 19:18

                  @idobebrowsing: But i do have my eyes on the ViewSonic VA2719 and AOC Q27P1 when they go back in stock

                  • the Unforgiven on 06/07/2020 - 01:13

                    • idobebrowsing on 06/07/2020 - 10:03

                      @the Unforgiven: fck why didnt i think of that, should've gone with that. Anyway i decided to go with the AOC Q27P1 and keeping my out on the Viewsonic when it come back in stock for my 3rd monitor. Thanks for the help

                        @idobebrowsing: LOL
                        I have a Viewsonic XG2703-GS as my main gaming monitor, I swapped a Vega 64 LC for it
                        On my left I have an AOC AGON AG271QX gaming monitor I used to use with my Vega 64 LC,
                        it was so fluid gaming with it, but lacked FPS; but I stopped using it when my 2 cats
                        (Monster & Menace), instead of jumping to the left or going off the chair when I was abusing an umpire in a footy game
                        a year ago, they jumped over the back of the chair onto the monitor which crashed onto my Corsair K95 RGB keyboard.
                        It took a little piece out of it and left a ghosting affect of a key as well; so it has now been relegated to my left so I can read emails.
                        And on my right I have a low gloss IPS monitor from ASIA when they first came out years ago and it does as my TV & movie viewer.
                        All monitors are 2K, only the AOC is a TN monitor. The Viewsonic is G-sync @ 165 standard and it runs my 1080ti KiNGPiN; got to have those FPS.
                        There are so many monitors now on the market. I just had a look through my bookmarks and I have 2 places bookmarked, it looks like only this one survived - https://www.144hzmonitors.com/ - I am sure there would be more out there. enjoy your new monitor :)

                          @the Unforgiven: Haha now im second guessing if i should get a cat lol, but will definitely see how my monitor hold up, thanks for the advice
