[khalil1210]

1. Budget?
₹ 25,000

2. Display type and size?
IPS LCD, 27 inch

Coding, web browsing, watching anime, watching movies, watching youtube and gaming.

4. Types and number of ports required?
1 Display port or 1 HDMI port

5. Preferred choice of brand?

6. Any TV/monitor in consideration?
No

7. Any other info that you want to share.
I have been using 22MP68VQ for past 3 years. ( 22 inch monitor )

Would a bigger monitor be better? I was looking for 32 inch monitor, but read online higher ppi will have less strain on eyes so going for 27 inch. or should i just buy a new 24 inch 1080p monitor at ₹ 10,000 - 15,000?

I have a pc with 2200g cpu and 1660 super graphic card. Currently I do not game a lot. I play only small games ( hades. celeste or forza horizon 4 ), I am not looking for high refresh rate. Gaming is not a priority.

Please suggest on monitor based on above details.

Thanks.

Yes, LG 32GK650F is a good monitor. It's the best VA monitor at that price, better than Samsung Odyssey G5. Its cons are 32" size & a bit slow response time (doesn't matter unless you are into PvP fast-paced games). It has been on sale for 22k.

For IPS, Acer XV272U is the best option, is 27" & has an adjustable stand as well. It has been on sale for 22k.

That BenQ is not 144Hz. IMO get a 144Hz panel because your budget allows it. If you aren't planning to game much nor have any plans to upgrade rig even after 2-3 years, maybe just settle for a 24" 1080p monitor.

Thanks for the suggestions @omega44-xt

Currently the prices for both monitors are showing as 30-32 k on amazon ? Should I look for local sellers. Will it be that low (22K).?

If you aren't planning to game

I will definetly game in future, I thought of a lower refresh monitor to save some money. I was not thinking about long term.

I have decided to buy IPS / 1440p / 144hz as of now. Will check Acer XV272U reviews.

I never heard local sellers having it that low but the LG one was very frequently on sale for 23-24k & Acer XV272U at 25-26k recently. For the long term, both of them are good choices.

Acer XV272U in India is this one with better stand:

For 30/35k Gigabyte G27Q/M27Q seems like good choices.

I am leaning towards G27Q. Any idea how is gigabyte after sales service on monitors?

Gigabyte entered monitor space in India this year, so new. There are some bad reviews for their after-sales at times though. LG might be at the top in that regard.

LG 27GL850

Review here, i think its best in class for it's price. But I have started disliking LG because of panels going bad

Its the same panel

This seems like a good choice but check what panel it has. The M27Q has BGR panel and text would look bad while browsing. Normal monitors have RGB panels.

It is ₹ 36k on Amazon. way out of my budget.

Also discarding Gigabyte G27 as it is relatively newer here.

Waiting for Acer XV272U to drop price to 27k ( currently it is 30.5k )

Its biggest con is low contrast ratio for an IPS panel. I will prefer Asus or Gigabyte models over LG because of that.

There are small sellers selling it for ~25k:
*sphinxpc.in/shop/monitors/acer-nitro-xv272u/ (This seller is based in Delhi, I know a guy who purchased the whole PC sans GPU from him).

Another small seller:

If you are in a big city, might find it with some local shops.

 

[khalil1210]

Yep I live in Hyderabad, will check in CTC if I can get Acer XV272U for lower price.

Dude, while you are at it, could you please enquire for Acer VG240YS (165Hz, 1080p, IPS) as well?

 

[khalil1210]

^ will ask

 

[khalil1210]

I am ordering Acer VG271U from Amazon for 25.5K

Acer XV272U seems nice but the price in amazon is around 30-32k. I dont think the price will reduce anytime now.

And all monitor prices 2-3k are at higher price for all models compared to February / March. May be price revision happened in April / May

Did not go to CTC.


Thanks for the help

Height adjustable stand is worth it IMO, unless you have monitor arms.

 

[khalil1210]

Thanks for the links @omega44-xt I bought Acer VG271U.

Saw few negative reviews about compify on reddit. Hence didn't want to go with them or other sellers.

You find negatives of amazon & fk as well. In general, except md, prime & vedant, few small sellers that are good are elitehubs, clarion, sphinx & compify IMO. Obviously, my 1st preference will be amazon, but if the price difference is big or item is unavailable, I will buy from small sellers. Although, I have only bought 3.5k+ 4.2k worth items from such small sellers. I know a guy who built almost his whole PC from clarion & got it shipped & another from sphinx. Both are happy.
