Monitor purchase advice
Posted on 9/21/21 at 8:33 am

If you are currently in the market for a gaming monitor what features are you most interested in? I’m upgrading from a 1080p 60hz TV after my recent xbox series S purchase and would like opinions on which direction to go.
-budget is 500 or less at 24-27 inch
-games played are a mix of FPS (not competitive), sports titles and open world single player
Also of note, I game with lights on rather than off.
So which features do you think most important for my use case?
Bestbuy-27GL850-B
I was recommened this by a buddy after he purchased. Does anyone have experience with this specific monitor or even similar models?

Way overpriced. You can get 1440p/144hz variable refresh rate monitors sub $300 now

LG 27GL83A-B is the same monitor and goes on sale @ Amazon for 329.99 sometimes. That's way better than the BB overpriced model. (355 right now)

That monitor is overpriced.
I got a 32 Inch LG, 2560p x 1440p, 165hz and 1ms response time for 300$ on Amazon.
27 inch sceptre monitor
Here's a 27 inch Sceptre
2560p x 1440p
1ms response time and 165hz.
220$

Thanks for the replies everyone. I agree that the monitor I listed is overpriced currently but it seems to be highly reviewed on rtings, youtube and other sites.
I'll be sure to check out the monitors yall provided

The only difference in the BB model and the 83A-B is two USB ports you’ll never use. Same screen, same specs otherwise.
If you can find it for under $300 like guy above me said, it’s by far the best purchase.

Good info. I will stay patient until I can find it at that price.
