Which monitor would you guys recommend?
AORUS FI27Q-P or Pixio PX7 Prime 27

PX7 is $220 cheaper and seems very similar to the FI27Q-P.

I have heard nothing but good things about price/performance of Pixio monitors.

32" 4k VA panels start at under 300€ here in Germany (with 19% VAT). Amazon.de sold the Samsung U32J592 for 249€ a week ago (I bought it to replace my AOC 32" 4k since that has no Freesync and the Samsung has 40-60Hz Freesync). Whenever I go looking for Korean monitors, there aren't really any deals out there that make the hassle of importing it worth it. When I bought my 1440p overclockable (managed 100Hz) QNIX 2710 for about 300€ (with VAT), the cheapest 1440p60 monitor here was about 500€ I think and there were none with higher refresh rates. Now 1440p144Hz monitors from AOC, Acer, Viewsonic, MSI, LG cost the same as the Korean ones, same with 4k displays which don't even offer overclocking as an added bonus. Ultra wides in the 3440x1440 ranges might offer something better, I haven't checked (since I can't go below 4k anymore). But the market has really dried up here.

VA panels are meh for me. I have always prefered IPS especially in 4K. I had the exact same QNIX 2710 (100 HZ too) I do agree on the state of VA panels being the same range in price regardless of who makes them. as far as Ultra Wides go I really have no interest but I must admit I do love my 49" monitor. I thought it would have been too big but now I could not go back.

1MS IPS doesn't mean 1MS. Thats all marketing fluff. The difference between a high end IPS 144hz and a cheap IPS 144hz is massive.

Look at the LG 27gl850, that monitor claims 1ms but overshoots terribly at the 1ms setting, it does however perform best of class at roughly 4ms when set to reasonable settings.

Other IPS monitors with the same specs on paper are over double the response rate of the LG when set to reasonable settings.

If this razer monitor can actually do sub 4ms responses while boasting the other specs I think the $699 price is within reason. If it cant do sub 4ms though then it's overpriced.
