Hey thanks for the reply.
Regarding the first and third monitor, they are nowhere to be found in Serbia for some reason, I see the prices from the time when they were available they are much higher than monitors I mentioned.
The Odyssey is 300 Euros and is pushing 240hz which I don't need, my pc pushes games max to about 140-150 fps in low end games. and I don't see an upgrade coming soon regarding cpu and gpu, etc.

Could you tell me your opinion on the 3 monitors I sent which one you would choose and why, thanks in advance

27" 1080 monitors are not ideal, the pixel density gets a little low. Decent for gaming, but pretty bad for general use like reading/browsing.

If that particular Samsung is like others in the price range from Samsung, it is a mid/low range product. Since it is the most expensive here that is a bit of a problem.

AOC makes some decent products. You have remember that a lot of these companies only really do assembly and firmware, the hardware is made by a much smaller group of LCD manufacturers.

Acer has been doing monitors for a good while now, they also have some decent products.

Since the two you have picked are uncommon choices for enthusiasts, not many reviews out there compare them. Look for Acer Nitro or AOC in 24" and you should be doing pretty good.

So 24 is better than 27? Why can you tell me more about it? Is that the reason why this one below I will send is more expensive?
There is the same AOC as I mentioned but 23.8 ( Price 175Euro) link

Come or send someone to get it from Greece

I can tell you from personal experience that a 27" 1080p monitor is not ideal. You can easily distinguish pixels at normal viewing distances, which makes text not very sharp. Usable, but not comfortable for long periods. When gaming or viewing content it matters a little less (though some games do use quite small fonts and it can become notice

27" should be 1440p, 32" 4K, and beyond that it is also generally 4K but the pixel density matters less because you sit farther away. With a 1070Ti, a lot of newer games aren't going to run all that well at 1440p, so that really isn't on the table if you want to stick to running native resolution. Upscaling with the likes of FSR may work though.

From that website, the best ones under 20k seem to be ASUS TUF monitors.

Maybe one of the LG Ultragear, couldn't find that exact model reviewed.

That's just BS.
27" 1080p is perfectly fine.
Have you ever used one?

I have used such monitor. There are no such pixel density problems, if you have a normal viewing distance
(don't look at pixels with nose in the screen).

What is your opinion on the first monitor I sent AOC and this one link which is 23.8 but everything else exactly the same as far as I can see but more expensive for some reason ( maybe a site mistake?), and this TUF Link
Edit: TUF one is VA panel, does it metter? first two is IPS which is better, gaming wise ( I know VA has to do witch contrast ect but thats about it, limited knoweledge)

I have had a 27" 1080p monitor since 2010, I want to say I used that exclusively for 5 years. Moved to a 1440p G-Sync display when that was new. But I noticed the problem almost immediately compared to my old 17" 4:3 1280x1024 display.

I'm not saying it is unusable, just not preferable. You don't see too many ultra high end 27" 1080p gaming panels either. All the crazy 480Hz ones are 24".

with 25.900,00 RSD i see it has 2k monitor , to see if you can find something
Triplex, with all seriousness im not trying to be rude.
stop helping. All you did from the beginning is suggesting me to travel across two countries and back to buy a monitor, sending me links of monitors which are 250-300 euro more expensive compared to what I ve sent, and they are 2k monitors which I don't want as said recently due to my pc specs

I like the AOC option mostly because of the monitor stand. The ASUS have just tilt I think.

IPS is generally the best for color reproduction and viewing angles.

Most VA has pretty good viewing angles, bright colors, but often not the best color accuracy. (Typical for the cheaper large TVs to be VA)

TN you don't see as much except in the super high response time gaming monitors, but these seem to be being phased out by OLED. Recent 480hz OLED panel released, they have the ultimate pixel response time. TN suffers massively from viewing angle issues and color accuracy is often the worst. There are some pretty good TN panels out there, but they are typically expensive.

I know I have VG248QE which is TN. so out of those out of AOC 27 and 23.8 and this TUF Link. you Think that I should go with AOC 23.8inch?
EDIT: I am not changing this VG248QE, the monitor I am buying is not for me, Just not to confuse anyone
