Hey everyone I hope you have a good time.
I’m looking to replace my old monitor. I already spent some time researching and kind of narrowed it down to 2:
AOC 17G42E and MSI MAG 272F.
I know 1080p on a 27" is not optimal but i got used to it and my GPU won’t deliver high FPS on more resolution.
I’m looking an VRR screen (screen tearing and v-sync damaged me) with probably IPS for better colors (and because of size) for around 100€ (Germany).
So i just wanted to know if you may have some advice or other recommendations.
If you’re near a college town, could be worth checking online marketplaces. Students tend to buy expensive gaming monitors and then sell them when they graduate. You can get good monitors for very cheap.
Good advice but sadly it’s not the case.
I don’t have any experience with AOC monitors, and I’m not sure if this will help much, but I recently upgraded to a new MSI monitor and I’m extremely impressed with the build quality and the overall experience with the monitor.
I was between a Samsung Odyssey G9 or an MSI 491CQPX. After hearing many of the horror stories about the Samsung quality issues, I decided to go with the MSI which has the exact same panel. Man, am I glad that I did. This monitor is amazing. While this is a high-end monitor from MSI, it’s led me to believe that MSI probably has good build quality across the board.
