Looking to upgrade from monitors I purchased about 5 years ago which were 27" / 144Hz / 1440p / 1st Gen Gsync Module. (Acer XB271HU)
The monitors have been pretty decent, with almost no issues (apart from one being cooler in colour the other warmer)
The tech doesnt seem to have drastically improved, but I would like to get something newer so
a) I'm not locked into a nVida GPU and can use AMD/Freesync
b) Surely something recent should have a newer panel then my 5 year old monitors?
c) Warranty and new toys are always fun
Idealy I'd love to get 2 of the ASUS ROG Swift PG279QM, but at $1399 little bit to pricey for my liking. Which then brings me to the Alienware AWD2721D, I saw some deals posted for this monitor back in June for around the $700 mark which seems really good. But thats the thing no deals since June from the looks of things, wondering if I try my luck with Dell sales and see if they'll do a better price.
The other couple of options I've seen and mainly from watching reviews on YouTube from Hardware Unboxed are;
- MSI MAG274QRX
- GIGABYTE M27Q X
- Acer XB273U GXbmiipruzx
But these seem to be either unavailable in Aus or discontinued.
My other thought is to just get new monitors that are only 165Hz don't neccessarily need the 240Hz.
