i hate to have to ask this but i know close to nothing when shopping for good/reliable monitors. currently i have a triple monitor setup consisting of 3 asus vg248qe (1080p 144hz 1ms)

i want to start upgrading my setup to all 1440p displays but i dont know really know what to look for in monitors as i seem some with the specs i want but are much cheaper than many others i see.

what im looking for is a 27inch 144Hz at 1440p 1ms monitor (and thinner bezels than the fat ones i have on the asus 248qe if possible), basically i want to upgrade the size and resolution of my screen without downgrading the other specs. also looking for it to have a better picture than the one si have now as i probably have the worst displays in the house for picture, however im not looking for something crazy high end good, just something that looks really nice compared to my current ones which are TN panels so i was looking at IPS from what i read the TN panels is why my picture is lacking.

as for price i can be a little flexible. if its a little more on the expensive side i can start with getting one at a time, but on the cheaper side i can maybe get them at once or close to it.

the highest im willing to pay would be near 400 USD but thats still a bit much for me, ive seen some at or a little above 300 or even less than taht with the same specs which i was considering, i just dont want to regret taht purchase if theres some obvious reason its so cheaper. if im able to get some on the cheaper side instead of 400 taht would be really nice. im not crazy about my displays, as long as it has the specs i want and looks better than what i currently have should make me happy.

so if theres anyone whos willing to help me finally make the jump above 1080p i would really appreciate it :)
 
I’d recommend looking at Hardware Unboxed reviews, they are among the best monitor reviews I’ve found. They have a 1440p best of video from 7 months ago so it might miss one or two newer models but you can try looking those up separately. HU do a great job (if not a little dry) drawing out the differences on monitors that otherwise have very similar specs.
