Response to your question about LG 27UK650-W 27" 4K UHD IPS... |
A fellow customer answered your question,
| "what is the max refresh rate at 1440P? please post your max custom/oc hz at 1440p."

I'm sure higher pixel density at 27 would be nice and noticeable, esp for productivity, but a higher hz would be the most noticeable in terms of overall feel; one must also factor in the hardware requirements for graphics or gaming, which will require a much more powerful gpu. If you can afford a 3080/3090, I imagine this may be a sweetspot.
Anyway, after a few days of intensive research I have narrowed it down to the top 3 price to performance monitors for 1440p.
VA: #1 Viotek
GFV27DAB (if you can find it, its out of stock, and no longer available on amazon) Bonus: flat screen. When speaking about screen alone it easily takes the cake and response time outperforms all other VA's, and competes well with mid level IPS response times, but comes with only one cavet, one must switch overdrive tuning at 100hz and 144 hz for optimal GtG/Ghosting performance, and use software to calibrate their monitor color. Not a big deal. However its out of stock and almost impossible to find one anywhere. Alternatives: Gigabyte G27QC (uses the same panel as the AOC CQ27G2, but a bit more expensive)
IPS: #1 LG 27GL83A, 27GL850 take the cake but they are expensive and you are playing panel lottery often have a good amount of backlight bleeding; The $360 two week old GIGABYTE M27Q 27" 0.5 ms 170Hz 1440P 92% DCI P3 with x2 usb3 and 1x usb-c; quality stand + osd may be a run for the money though. Keep an eye on the reviews. [

Pixio PX278: compare reviews to
LG 27GL850, amazing, wide 95% DCI-P3 color gamut, (only 2-3 percent off from top of the line IPS LG 27GL850) 2-3ms real world response times at 1-144 hz (no overdrive necessary), 400-nit peak brightness; panel lottery seems far less of a problem.
