Yeah sorry I assumed you were in the US. I'm in Canada too, but when I bought it, it wasn't that expensive.That’s twice as much as what I want to spend. Over here that is 600-700
I can’t find any reviews on the LG I’m looking at. Rtings also hasn’t reviewed it. Looking at this, the G5 which is cheapest option at 250 here. And also looking at the gigabyte m27q but it is the more expensive of the 3 at $380.Just go to Rtings and look at the recommended monitors at 1440p to see what fits your budget. I used their site to buy mine. The Samsung Odyssey G7 tested with the highest refresh rate for their recommend monitors, but had the lowest imput lag behind only OLED. I found an open box deal for 400.00 and had to buy it.
The Gigabyte M27Q was my original choice. It has good specs for its price range. Compare its features to LG 27GR75Q to see which is better.
The M27Q tested a little better than the G5. They have a 4k 32 inch version as well I think. I found one for 259.00$ brand new on Amazon. This and the G5 are decent gaming monitors, but it depends on what you prefer.I can’t find any reviews on the LG I’m looking at. Rtings also hasn’t reviewed it.

It's a VA panel, yes? So, better to Google around for how bad the black smearing is (which is a downside of almost all VA monitors).I think I may of found something I will really like. I see nothing but great reviews about it. And that’s the GIGABYTE G34WQC.
It’s more than I wanted to spend but it looks like it’s one of the best value 1440p monitors out there. I see one here selling for 429.
It’s also twice as much as the gigabyte.The G34WQC isn't better than the G7.
The G7 is the epitome of VA tech - no smearing, no issues whatsoever unlike 90% of VA's
Source: I have a G7. Its the second best gaming decision i made especially if you're gonna push past 120hz. Its really good.
I’m really sold on getting a curved monitor/ultrawide I’d like to try them, but what is the support like for 21:9 ratio on consoles? Does PS5 and Xbox just stretch the screen or some other thing that decreases the quality of the screen on this ratio? Do all pc games support this ratio?
I'm using M27QP model. The picture quality is very poor compared to my panasonic 42GT60 plasma (contrast, and black level, motion quality), but compared to other cheap PC monitors it's definitely a decent monitor.
Just bought this one for my kid. My recommendation as well.A used Dell S2721DGF

+accurate and saturated colors (but I have to clamp SDR gamut with novideo_srgb tool, because build in SRGB profile is garbage)
+acceptable shadows details
+very good motion quality compared to other LCD monitors, especially 60Hz ones (although my plasma is still on a completely different level even when I play at 170Hz on this monitor)
+170Hz VRR makes a HUGE difference in games. Even older games at 30-60fps are way more playable because V-sync lag is very minimal.
+acceptable viewing angles
-Poor blacks (I have to play in a well-lit room, otherwise blacks look grey.)
-Poor motion qualityb (compared to my plasma)
-Poor HDR implementation, it's better to use SDR on this monitor.
As for 1440p, I think it's the sweet spot in gaming. 4K is way more demanding, and I can still enjoy playing 1080p games on this monitor as well, because 1:1 pixel mapped 1080p is about the same size as on my old 20inch 1080p monitor. The 1080p image on 27inch 4K monitor would be too small.
Overall, the M27QP is not the worst monitor out there , but knowing what you are missing will definitely make you want to buy something better soon. Personally I want a proper HDR support, so I'm planning to buy some decent QD-OLED monitor.
Nah its not that bad. 32" at 1440P is 91.79 PPI. 27" at 1080P is 81.59 PPI. Granted 32" at 1440P isn't that sharp, 27" at 1080P is considerably worse.It was on my radar when I need to buy something new, but didnt know a lot about OLED yet, and didnt want to spend a lot of money. Im aware of its short comings, but its still decent for its price. 1440p and 32inches is equivalent to 1080p on 27 inches in PPI, so when I did my research, the M2Q7 looked like one of the best bargins among 1440p budget monitors last year. All of of the 240hz and above 1080p monitors were sold out.
