[SOLVED] Best monitor to buy for gaming

[lofthouse1982]

Hi all, looking to purchase a new monitor that will go with my current Iiyama 27 inch G-Master GE2788HS monitor.

Which monitor is the best for gaming?

iiyama Black Hawk G-Master GB2730HSU

or

MSI Optix G271 27 Inch Full HD IPS 144Hz 1ms AMD FreeSync Flat Gaming Monitor

I would like another 27inch and not looking to spend more than £200

Thanks Richard

From what I can tell searching the official site, the MSI Optix one seems to have an much higher refresh rate than the iiyama one.

There seems to also be a sale on that monitor on amazon: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Optix-G271-eSports-Gaming-Monitor/dp/B083P7DRSK

Fantastic, just a quick question, if I was to buy the MSI monitor would it be a huge difference to the Blackhawk monitor I have at the moment? Thanks

There is an substantial different between the refresh rate of the monitor. You will normally notice this different in FPS games such as CSGO.

Other than that I do not think there is any other features (except the shape, designs etc).
