Hardware Unboxed on Youtube for a good roundup of gaming monitors. One of them is a full-time monitor reviewer and the focus is almost exclusively on gaming monitors.
They have plenty of recommendations for 4K and 1440p at various sizes.
I was going to say what these guys already said.
IMO get him a 32" 165-240Hz 1440p monitor. Either the Odyssey G7 32" that I have, or the Gigabyte M32Q for flat IPS. A good monitor lasts several years, GPUs should be changed every 2-3 to stay up to date. I would probably nab a 6700XT or 3070 right now, and put $500 aside for the next GPU upgrade. That's just me though....
If he really wants to spend the big bucks, an RTX 4080 is the way forwards for an OLED 4K panel, which he may already have in his TV - but if his TV is a regular 60Hz LCD job, then forget that idea. A sub-$500 gaming-focused monitor will be far better for input lag and response times. Even many of the good gaming TVs (the VRR 120Hz ones) have input lag that's perceptible, even in game mode, so it really does depend on what he has.
I never play twitch shooters on my TV, even though it's a fast TV. I use My G7 at 120Hz with strobing backlight and you can take that out of my cold, dead hands.
