LG just broke - What next?

Post by sssouthpaw » 05 Jan 2022, 21:19

Hello.

My LG 27K750F from 2017 or 2018 finally broke. Just went all white, no OSD, no power button, just white all the time. I think I saw this was a common issue with them. It had a good'ish life.

I like that it was 240hz, could do gsync, and had the on screen crosshair. I couldn't really take advantage of the light strobe because it would be so dim, and it would disable gsync. Also it often required I turn it off and on, or sometimes pull the power cable because it would have this weird "hitch" every half second until I did. Would do a sort of studder. Never understood that. I think it was discovered that this monitor was actually pretty "bad" in a strict gaming sense, but it seemed to be ok for me gaming all these years.

Is there a monitor available right now that you would recommend?

27" or larger.
240hz or more.
1080p or better.
Would like an on screen crosshair if possible.
Are there any that support anti-blur tech, with Gsync, and still bright enough to use?
Would be nice if it wasn't TN. (If that is still a thing)

Thank you, I appreciate any advice.

Those look awesome lablaka, but I'm guessing those won't be available to purchase for a while?

They will also be stupidly expensive you can be sure of that. If current 1440p 240hz panels are $600-900, expect the first generation of these 360hz panels to be $1,000-1,200+.

Alright. Is there anything recommended that is available now? I guess if a new new technology is coming down the road in a half year, I don't want to spend more than $1000 now. I am in USA.

Thank you for all the recommendations.

I went with the MSI Optix MAG274QRX. Will see how it goes.
