UltraGear 27GP850-B

High End (well.. high-ish) IPS like the LG UltraGear 27GP850P-B, MSI Optix MAG274QRF-QD or Rog Swift PG279QM are great for working, And I've been playing on IPS for a long time without any problems. Also they're cheap used, reliable, and already grew out of their teething problem period. Mini-LED seem like a great idea for gaming, but to stay in budget I'd have to buy at the lower end. Namely the Xiaomi G Pro 27 or even the AOC. Not sure how well they work with, well, work. How their color spectrum is compared to ips. And if HDR and maybe better black level is worth all the problems they seem to still have. OLED is probably out because it's both too expensive and prone to burn in when using office for 8 hours a day.

I want to buy a UPS for my gaming setup, which consists of: * 1 PC — RTX 4070 Ti Super, Ryzen 7 7800X3D, 32 GB DDR5 RAM (powered by an 850 W PSU) * 1 monitor — LG 27GP850-B 27" 2560x1440 165 Hz * 1 network router After some research, I came to the conclusion that a 900 W UPS should be enough. After comparing prices and availability, I ended up with these three options: * APC Easy UPS BVX1600LI-GR 1600VA/900W — €179.99 * APC Back-UPS BX1600MI-GR 1600VA/900W — €224.90 * Eaton 5E Gen2 1600VA/900W — €185.90 Between these three options, I don't really understand the difference between the two APC models. Also, I've had two bad experiences with APC UPS units in the past, both lasted only about a year before needing to be replaced while powering the same setup I described above. My goal is simply to have enough time to safely shut down my PC when the power goes out. Which option would you choose? Or would you recommend something else?

Honestly there is no best monitor, they all have different strengths/panels. Often times even with the same brand/model there is some panel lottery. I personally got the ASUS TUF Gaming VG27AQM5A (300hz) lately and it's just as good as my Lg27gp850-b in terms of colors/contrast and has way better motion clarity. Got it for a deal at 194€ and I don't think you can find anything better than this at this price range, I'll keep it until I upgrade to 4k or Oled. Also if it fits in your budget the AOC Q27G3XMN/BK Mini LED is pretty popular I'd say. Tldr: you can't do much wrong with either, it's all panel lottery to some point.

If you can get LG UltraGear 27GP850P-B 27" on good sale, id highly recommend that. Vibrant colours, good 165 or 180 oc refresh rate, pretty much zero ghosting, and my unit at least have 0 backlight bleed. It is like +300 dollar monitor, but its better to spend tiny bit more on pretty good monitor than to settle for shitty experience.

Want to buy my first monitor. I want a **27 inch 1440p IPS** \+ **Quantum Dot,** (16:9, no ultrawide) * **Refresh rate:** 120Hz - 180Hz max * **Use case:** work, coding, casual browsing, Netflix, movies, gaming (single player games). * **Budget:** **30k-35k INR** for a good high end IPS, can go to \~40k if i can get something even better * **Others:** **FreeSync** and/or **G-SYNC** compatible (i need the VRR support), most monitors i saw have \~1ms response time but i don't play competitive fps games so it doesn't matter that much, **flicker free** (PWM flicker) **Few things to mention:** * I always work/watch in **well lit conditions** or atleast some lighting * I do want to get **good bright colors** (atleast as much as i can get in IPS) thats why i'm thinking of going with Quantum Dot. (from what i've seen QD monitors have a wider color gamut than normal IPS). 100% sRGB and 90% or above DCI-P3 is what seems to gives good colors (from googling i'm not sure in this aspect) * Not going for OLED as good ones are a bit expensive for me right now * Same for MiniLEDs, good ones with decent dimming zones are expensive. * As i work in a well lit room, the true blacks of oled won't shine that much and the ips backlight glow won't bother me much (am using laptop's ips screen and even that is alright for me) * Almost all IPS have HDR400 support which isn't really real HDR but thats fine, better than nothing i guess. Also HDR only shines in MiniLEDs or OLEDs * **IF** i can get a good MiniLED monitor within my budget, i would love to look at those, even if i have to buy outside india **Some options i've looked at:** * LG 27GS85Q-B * MSI MAG 274QRF QD E2 (expensive) * LG 27GP850-B * Gigabyte M27Q2 QD * AOC Q27G3XMN 27" QHD (its VA i think rest looks good, still skeptical about VA...) These monitor names are too confusing and there are TOO many options each with some slight changes, its getting more confusing the more i look lol, so i'm asking you guys for suggestions. Maybe you have one of these or any other similar monitors, would appreciate any reviews or suggestions or things to avoid.
