Gaming and general purpose monitors

Alright boys, what's a good 1440p monitor that's good for gaming and productivity/office/software development? Looking to spend 400-500 bucks.

There are some cheaper, but I've had several good experiences with ASUS monitors. (Preview says $600 but it's listed at $429.)

Your link no work.

Found a review which suggests this ASUS model is the best: ASUS TUF VG27AQ Review

That's what I intended to link. Looks like amazon links are FUBAR.

That's what I got. Incredible monitor

Surprised this is only one page? Thought somewhere you had pages and pages of mist and others arguing over 4k+ rez vs response time and various new monitors that are just over the horizon yet havn't made an appearance?

I've said a few times I'm a luddite. I'm on a ancient Hanns G w/ dead pixel or 3 and a 2007WFP Dell monitor that just died after nearly 20 years. Will work on my own research for replacements for me but my question for you all is actually my wife.

Wife has a college/work from home computer. Doesn't use it really for any games/media. Wants to get dual matching monitors. Any suggestions on a good value monitor that hopefully should last? Saw options for like $60 on walmart etc and I feel like those are just like home printers and going to die in 1-3 years.

Not being a shill, but Dell makes really nice monitors that won't break the bank too badly. Just get 60hz 1080p 24 inch monitors that are bezel-less. I don't know model numbers off the top of my head.

Came in this morning. Set it up already.

What the fuck this monitor is insane for the price.

The only drawback is the stand sucks and you need arms (which should get here tomorrow...)

Yah it's the best monitor I've ever used. I had monitor arms already so not sure about the stand

My problem now is my secondary monitor is so shitty next to it... Night have to buy another.

Got an Alienware aw3420dw in April.

Join the Ultra wide master race, it is worth it.

Couldn't do it haha. Can't risk this desk
