Hello there!
My Full HD, 120hz Asus monitor from 2012 just died. I'm looking for a replacement. I will leave my BestBuy job within the week, so if possible, I want to take advantage of employee pricing
I plan on doing a new build within 2-3 years, so I want to buy a 9/10 or above monitor, since I decided better to buy something good now, than buy a 200$ replacement, and then buy another, better monitor in 2-3 years (unless you've heard of anything worth waiting for 2-3 years in the monitors space?)
So, looking for:
24-27 inch 2560x1440 or 27+ 3440×1440
100hz+
I hear g-sync is better, so at least g-sync compatible, or with the g-sync module. Don't care for g-sync ultimate since crazy prices and no use for me.
I got spoiled by OLED, so now not having perfect blacks, contract, etc sucks and I hate to compromise, but from what I've read, TN is to be avoided, so either IPS or VA, w/e has the least compromises
Now, a few models I've seen after doing research, and BestBuy has them:
Asus VG27AQ (in stock)
Asus PG279Q (in stock, but kinda old model, not tempted)
Asus PG348Q (in stock)
Asus XG279Q (out of stock), could get elsewhere
LG 27GL850-B (out of stock), could get elsewhere
Other models not at BestBuy:
ViewSonic Elite XG270QG
If there are other monitors from other brands that you think are better and can find them in Canada, post them since I don't have any brand preference, but something within reason when it comes to price because priority goes to monitors I can get with employee pricing.
Thank you for your help. Who knew choosing a monitor would be so hard....when it comes to tvs, I can tell you within 2 hours of them announcing all the new models from all the brands which are my top 2...
