So i'm in the market for a new monitor.
I have a budget of $300 max and I don't really know where to start. I'm running a 2060 super and 3600x.
These are my requirements:
1080p
144Hz
1ms response time.
G sync or a Freesync monitor that's Gsync compatible.
VA/IPS (not looking for TN monitors as it will be used for some 3D work as well and colour is important)
An important thing is not to have any artificial ghosting or artefacting due to the high Hz settings. I've seen a lot of monitors that claim great response times and amazing refresh rates but when all the settings are enabled you end up with ghosting or other visual artefacts that aren't enjoyable.

Everything else like HDR or curved and other such are nice bonuses but not required in what i'm looking for.
At the moment i have a few choices i have personally found but i'm curious if there are better options.

https://www.amazon.co.uk/MSI-MAG241...words=MSI+Optix+MAG241C&qid=1598108221&sr=8-1

Any help is appreciated.

PS. Is anything above 25 inches too much ? I've heard that anything over that for 1080p makes things look less sharp/crips and detailed.

I am wanting to buy the GIGABYTE G27QC and for you I recommend the GIGABYTE G27F or the GIGABYTE G27FC, and for the cheapest monitor I would go with the AOC C27G1. Because the AOC is so cheap you could use ur money on other things to make ur pc better, but the AOC does have really low brightness and the color accuracy is not great, but for the price it's really worth it I would say...
