    New monitor help!

    Im going to be buying a second monitor. My current 25 inch 1440p one is going to be used mainly for media and chrome pages etc, while the new monitor will be primarily for gaming.

    I want 1440p
    144hz
    1-4ms
    HDR would be nice, but I'm doubting I can get that on my budget.
    I would strongly prefer Gsync or Freesync. I have a gtx 1070, so if free sync preferably one that has been reviewed to work well with the new update.
    25-30 inches. Guessing 27 is most common.

    Budget of no more than 450 USD.

    I see this monitor, but wondering if anyone has any experience with it. https://www.newegg.com/Product/Produ...82E16824009769

    Imho the AOC AGON AG271QX is good monitor, and has all the specs you require. It's Freesync so it's "compatible" = since it's not listed in the official 12 monitor list, you can try it and see how it goes; from what i've heard around most people have no issues with some little ghosting in the worst cases. Though some monitor have image flickering hence not compatible at all.

    There's a GSync version too, but you're gonna pay the premium.
    Non ti fidar di me se il cuor ti manca.

    https://pcpartpicker.com/product/p4W...-optix-mag27cq or https://pcpartpicker.com/product/t4C...tor-umhg0aa001 would be my recommendation. That said, here's a full list of monitors with those specs https://pcpartpicker.com/products/mo...=1,2&X=0,45000

    I have this one: https://pcpartpicker.com/product/cYv...tor-z4d33aaaba and it's fine. No complaints, aside from a dead sub-pixel on it (green colour doesn't work on a single pixel in the middle-ish), but the colours aren't fantastic, so yeah.

    AOC just released a very good budget gaming monitor.
