PLUSTECH

$60 more expensive than their previous best deal but still a better price than what is currently available in the wider market.

Very good panel based on reviews and ozBargain anecdotes. I personally own one and jumping from a basic $150 Samsung 1080p monitor to this was a massive improvement. Took me a few days for my eyes to adjust.

HDR is a gimmick - you can forget about it. The only real HDR is from monitors that can emit 1000nits+ of peak brightness, and they're in the thousands of dollars range.

Great colours & excellent motion blur out of the box. You get a factory calibration report from LG. A few minor adjustments in the settings will give that added touch. I had to adjust my R-G-B ever so slightly (49-51-51) to get the colour close to the sRGB setting. But of course using a proper calibration tool will do you much better.

Lastly, according to this calculator (https://stari.co/tv-monitor-viewing-distance-calculator) the ideal viewing distance for a 27' 1440p monitor is roughly 80cm for visual acuity. Interesting!

27", QHD 2560x1440, 144Hz Nano IPS With DCI-P3 98%

AMD's FreeSync + NVIDIA certified as G-SYNC compatible (will work out of the box if you're using a NVIDIA GPU, no configuration needed)

1ms GTG Input Lag (Don't go 'Very Fast', Use the stock settings out of the box!)

2x USB 3.0 at the back via USB Passthrough (takes one USB port on your computer)
