Best 27inch Gaming Monitor for under 300?

[Stevo97]

So, best 27inch monitor for the buck. I'm really looking to only spend 230ish tops, but if it's really worth it I'll go above that a bit.

I don't see a reason for really gaming over 80fps so any idea's ladies and gents? I could really use your opinions here as I could use some help making up my mind on what to buy.

27" at 1080p is quite low DPI (dot pitch). I really dont recommend it as you really notice the individual pixels.
27" 1440p is quite high DPI. However you need a 980 (or ideally a 980ti) to run 1440p. Also the prices for 32" 1440p arent much more than the 27" and a 32" 1440p monitor is a thing of beauty.

Id suggest going with a good quality Samsung or Dell 16:10 1920 x 1200 24" IPS / PLS monitor.

If you must get 27" 1080p then go LG. They have good, decently priced 27" IPS monitors.

If you mainly game: BenQ XL2720Z (144hz TN)
If you do photo/video editing quite a lot or wanna have an all-rounder: ASUS MX279H or VX279Q (60Hz IPS)
All should be still in your price range.

If you ask me, I am not a fan of getting 1080p on 27".

Not disappointed.

If you are looking for something a bit cheaper I would recommend http://amzn.to/1RmOw5z
I have't tried it but I have heard good things.

BenQ GW Series GW2765HT

This is the best 1440p IPS with 27 inch display within 300$.
