I'm planning to get a monitor in the next 6 months so i started looking for monitors. People told me to get 1440p(i have rx 6800 with r5 5600 so it should be enough) monitor instead of 1080p monitor so i'm looking at some of them. These are the ones i could find:

Lenovo Legion R27QE 67C5GAC1TK 27" 0.5 ms 2K Pivot IPS 180 Hz
Samsung Odyssey G5 G50D LS27DG502EUXUF 27" 1 ms 2K Pivot IPS 180 Hz
AOC Q27G4X 27" 1 ms 2K Pivot IPS 180 Hz
Lenovo Legion R25F-30 67B8GACBTK 24.5" 0.5 ms Full HD Pivot 240 Hz 1080p

In budgets around this much or lower the price you can recommend me anything but not over it please

#

And If i get 1440p monitor and use it at 1080p will it look like normal 1080p if both of them 24 inch? just in case i'm wondering

1080p on 1440p monitor will look bad, I'd still go for 1440p tho, you can always fsr to get more framerate if that becomes an issue, 1080p is fine if you already have one, but I'd definitely not buy a new one

#

lenovo R25F is VA panel, so keep that in mind, I'd definitely not get that one if you play fast paced games, fps games etc

#

I wouldn't go for g5 and r25f, so AOC one looks pretty good to me

I didnt quite get why i shouldnt get a VA panel monitor i tought they were even faster than IPS

#

I currently use a VA panel monitor its VG24VQr other than ghosting it seems fine but i lost my second monitor thats why i though i should get main monitor that way i will be able to even upgrade what i havve

And its 240hz

#

so i expected it to be even better in games

#

and its 0.5 ms

#

One last question if i use my VG24VQr monitor in portrait mode would it be bad it has 1500R curve on it

#

something like this

va panels are usually not great at handling motion, even tho they say they have 0.5ms latency

#

it depends on the panel really, but I'd avoid them if I can, it can be a personal choice, they have amazing contrast but my personal preference is that I don't like them, I love the colors of ips and how they handle motion

#

I heard some amazing va panels with minimal ghosting, but I still wouldn't chance it
