Hi everybody, I have decided to buy a new monitor, a 27"-1440p-180Hz is the target, but I'm concerned with what panel my eyes can actually sustain.
Let me explain, I suffer from noticeable BFEP, that thing where you see "stars/dots" when looking at the sky but it also applies to bright light surfaces, and I have a couple of "floaters", which are also more noticeable in a bright environment. For this reason, I use prescribed blue light glasses and keep my display at very low brightness/contrast level with default dark themes.
Finally, I use my pc for both gaming and programming.
With all this in mind, my current question is what sort of display panel should I aim for. I've always used budget IPS panels, which means I don't know if anything else would be much better for me.
Contrary to what I believed to be true, many users suggest that OLED would still be ok with low brightness/contrast and a darker environment, but at the same time they aren't recommended for programming or displaying walls of text for several hours.
A popular recommendation for 1440 27" is the AOC Q27G3XMN, which is a mini led VA panel with nice HDR capabilities. Thing is, from my understanding this is because it can reach high level of brightness, which is the opposite of what I would want to use, in other words I fear that I would be paying for a premium feature that's useless to me. Should I still aim for a great SD VA panel ?
What about IPS? In this case Amazon is offering a nice deal (230 euro) for the GS27QXA, a monitor with 240Hz... or maybe something else from MSI, which should have a better display like the G274QPX (240Hz for 300+ euro) or the 274QRF (180Hz for 250 euro). Notice that I don't play competitive games, so my use cases for 240Hz would be limited to multi frame generation.
Any help or personal experience would be really appreciated
