Question Choosing a new gaming monitor.

Hello everybody!

Looking for your advice in choosing a new display for gaming!

I've recently upgraded my PC to XFX RX 6750 XT+Ryzen 7 5700x, so I am thinking about buying a new monitor.

1. In most of the games I play, I have 200-300 fps, so I am thinking about getting a 2k 240hz+ one. I like many genres, from FPS to strategies, so I would like to have a balance between the response speed and picture quality in my monitor of choice, ideally speaking. With an incline towards picture quality, though, since I also read a lot! :D

2. A must for me is a built-in sniper mode function. Using the programs and methods I normally utilize for creating the zoom effect is tiresome and unhandy, so I am ready to pay for a ready-made solution. I like how this function is realised in the acer Predator gaming assistant. I think some ASUS ROG monitors also have it, but, as far as I am concerned, the sniper mode zone and specs are far less customizable, compared to the solution, offered by the acer Predator products. But the information on this subject is very scarce, so I couldn't find any detailed review of how this function works A to Z in any existing monitor. Which is strange IMO, since the zoom hack is extremely mainstream nowadays. It would also be ideal to be able to bind the sniper mode (monitor modes/profiles in general) activation to my keyboard/mouse buttons, since having to use the monitor buttons every time I would need it seems nonsensical. I would be extremely grateful, in case you can suggest any brand that has software for controlling the monitor settings with keyboard/mouse binds.

3. Thus, I would ideally like to get a 27' 2k 240-280hz acer monitor (Acer Predator X27Ubmiipruzx seems like a good match, doesn't it?) with the sniper mode and binding functions I was talking about above, since I am used to the company's products and never had any problem with them. I don't know which one to choose, though! And shall I really choose acer, or rather go for another manufacturer? I am also considering buying an ASUS ROG XG 27 AQDMG OLED monitor or the XG 27 WCMS, the one with the VA matrix. Are they any good for gaming?


Thank you for your answers! And have a good day! :D
