hello there, sadly i come with request of assistance incase the store where i bought my Asus TUF Gaming VG27AQ3A (2k res 180hz ips) cant get me a same model replacement for the faulty monitor i had (lots of micro dead pixels)
so hopefully someone could suggest a similar value in quality etc incase i gotta pick another brand/model of monitor.
im linking the website its in spanish so you can browse and see if theres something similar.
i could add a price difference incase i want something more expensive but tbh im not buying an oled monitor for almost 1k, adding price difference of 100 or 200$ would be acceptable but tbh doesnt seem doable to do either way since there doesnt seem to be that many great options either.
the asus monitor costed me $349.


thanks for your time.

if you mean the monitor inches then because ive been told that 27 inch is good for 2k.
as i said the catalog in the link i provided is not that "good" so im hoping they actually tell me that they will be able to provide me with the same model i had before, otherwise ill just wait till they have something more interesting, without being so pricey, almost 1k for an oled just to set an example its insane imo.

I´ve taken the pros and cons of your choice of VG27AQ3A into account

Ignoring the speakers your search criteria are:

- 27 inch
- high refresh rate (180+)


What you are willing to sacrifice:

- contrast
- brightness
- color depth
- hdmi 2.1 support
- pixel density
- HDR worth its name

So...:

AOC 27G42E
AOC 27G15N2
GIGABYTE GS27FC
iiyama G-Master G2770HS-B1 Red Eagle
Samsung Odyssey G3 G30D
Philips Evnia 3000 Series 27M2N3200S
MSI G274F
ViewSonic VX2779-HD-PRO
LG UltraGear 27GS50FX-B

Good luck!

24" IPS QHD 180Hz Acer Nitro VG240YU Mbiipx looks like a very nice deal for $150 on Amazon. I'm not entirely sure it looks like it's 8 bit + 6-bit FRC I was thinking it was 10 bit + 8 bit FRC it's less appealing if it's the latter rather than the former. Also you have make sure it's the Mbiipx version otherwise it's a 75Hz panel and nothing special. I would have gotten that over my 27" QHD 165Hz at the time had 24" high reresh QHD's been available back then, but they were only making 75Hz ones in that size at the time. The PPI is nicer so good consideration. It's a pretty ideal size and resolution and very reasonable refresh rate. I'd probably opt for a 34" UWQHD though personally if upgrading what I have to bump up resolution a bit and the the form factor is good for multi-tasking. Another factor why 24" QHD is good outside of the PPI at native is if you drop down to 1080p or lower it'll look much better than a 27" QHD does when doing so. Really a 27" 4K isn't bad option for that same reasoning if you want to have 1440p as a fallback resolution on such a panel size and resolution.
