Hello!

I’m currently looking for a 1440p 27" 240Hz monitor, if possible.
My budget is €400 MAX, and I mainly play single-player games, so I’d like to have good image quality—probably an IPS panel.

However, I also want performance, with minimal ghosting and input lag, because I want to get back into osu!mania (a VSRG). I used to play at a pretty high level, so I’d like to have a good monitor for that.

Right now, I have an Acer XB240H 144Hz from 2018, and it’s a complete nightmare. A washed-out TN panel, tons of ghosting, and in osu!mania, a single note appears 9 times when it falls…

After some research, I found the ASUS VG27AQML1A and MSI G274QPX.
From what I’ve read, the MSI G274QPX has great image quality but relatively high input lag, while the ASUS VG27AQML1A has worse image quality but outstanding performance. So I’m not sure which one to pick.

Do you have any opinions or recommendations? I’m not strictly tied to 240Hz—if a 180Hz monitor provides better motion clarity, I’d be fine with that. As for 27", 1080p would probably be too low, especially since I’m used to 4K at work.

Thanks for your help !

After some research, I’ve concluded that the KOORUI 27E3QK seems really good and doesn’t have a BOE panel, which many people dislike. It appears to combine image quality, low ghosting, and fast response time, ticking all the boxes.

However, I’ve seen that some people experience headaches with this monitor. Do you have any opinions or feedback on it?

Headaches are theorised to be related to the WCG backlight part of the panel, not the LCD part.
No 1440p LCD has sufficiently fast G2G times to be compliant at 240hz, apart from the PG27AQN and 27G1S.
