Help Finding Cheapest 27” 144hz Gaming Monitor

Hey OzBargain Team!

I’m in the market for a 27-32” gaming monitor with 144hz. Trying to find the cheapest place that has availability to pick up as I’ve had a few bad experiences with tv/monitor deliveries getting damaged in the past.

My PC specs are https://www.scorptec.com.au/product/ready-to-run-pcs/gaming-…

I thought about getting a 4k monitor, but as I have a 4k HDR tv I use for media, it doesn’t bother me too much, as most 4k monitors on a budget are capped at 60hz. I’d much rather have a Full HD monitor running at 144+

Any chance anyone can help me out and find available stock for click collect in the ryde/Hornsby areas?

    The Dell S2721DGF has been quite popular for a 27" 144hz IPS Monitor

    Nevermind, saw that you wanted pickup only.

      Yeah pickup would be most preferred. Had bad experiences with deliveries, and I also broke my current monitor so the sooner I can get one the sooner I can game again 😅

    Don't buy the "cheapest" monitor for a $3,500 rig…

    You should really be aiming for a decent 1440p one, not 1080p.

    27" is far too small too, a 32" would be sweet spot.

      I would be happier with a 1440p monitor, but I don’t want to spend more than $500 for a monitor, as next March I’m giving myself a birthday present of an ultra wide 4k monitor

        LG 32GK650F pickup from Mwave then.

      Don't think there's anything wrong with 1440p 27".
      Really loving my Dell S2721DGF

        27" is far too small. A 32" has 40% larger surface area and significantly better for gaming as well as productivity.

        Got a 27" free from work for WFH and cannot stand it even after 5 years of triple-MX279H setup before upgrading to 32"ers.

        Once you upgrade, you won't go back. YMMV.

    The Gigabyte G27 monitors are good value for money for a fast 27". I had the M27Q (better colour reproduction) and it was a great screen, just a tad big for what I wanted and switched back to 24".

    Seems a little harder to find the flat one since it hit EOL, but scorptec have the curved one in stock at Macquarie Park and on sale for $429 - https://www.scorptec.com.au/product/monitors/25plus-inch/926…

    Samsung g5 27" 1440p 144hz, it's alright monitor.

    [edit] sorry I just noticed it's Out Of Stock in your area :(
    $367 Philips 27” QHD Gaming Monitor 275M8

    27 inch, 144hz, 1440p, VA (I personally prefer IPS)
    I haven't used this one before but I have dual Philips 272M8 (27", 144hz, 1080P, IPS) and really happy with it. Got them on sale for $250 each.
    If it weren't for availability you'd probably have more to pick from.
