Hi, everyone. Hopefully this is the correct place on the forum for this discussion.
I've been wanting to purchase a second monitor, and since I've never had a gaming monitor I need some advice. I recently upgraded my GPU to an EVGA 2080 Ti (I got this as a gift from my brother), and play competitive games, especially FPS titles, several times per week. I also work from home half of the week as a full stack developer, and would like my gaming monitor to at least be functional for work-related tasks alongside my current monitor. I was considering getting a 144hz monitor, but I would like to get the most out of my 2080 Ti and aim for 240hz on a 1920x1080 display; in other words, high frame rate is the most important feature of the monitor I would like to purchase.
As far as I can tell, only two monitors on the market sport 240hz IPS panels that are G-Sync compatible:
Acer Nitro XV273 Xbmiiprzx
ViewSonic Elite XG270
I'm not really sure which I should choose, as both monitors have pretty good reviews on Amazon. Since I've only been gaming on a PC for about a year I was hoping you guys could point me in the right direction. Maybe there's even a compelling reason that I should purchase a 144hz IPS display instead; I'm open to suggestions. To be honest, money is not an issue in my purchase decision.
To summarize, I'm looking for a high quality, reliable gaming monitor with an IPS panel and G-Sync compatibility that will also be useful for productivity.
Thank you in advance for any help you might be able to give me.
