Looking for a new monitor good for gaming, around $300, with at least two HDMI OR an HDMI and DVI/Displayport input.

Years ago I got a Samsung S27C500 to replace my baby's-first monitor from when I first started PC gaming. It has this nice little button where you can change which output is displayed on the screen, which I assume is standard. But this monitor is only VGA and one HDMI. So I either settle on my PC display looking blurry, or swapping the HDMI cable every time I want to switch between the PS4 and PC. But it's been long enough that I should stop being a caveman and get a monitor that works for my needs. I can make due without two HDMI, but I already have two HDMI cables and no DVI/DP so if I can manage to save $10 on the extra cable then I'm down for that.

Basically here's what I'm looking for:
Around $300-350 at the most.
IPS display because I don't think I could get used to a different color setup.
1080p60. I could try for something higher res, but that might fuck with the PS4 and man I do not have the room to keep one monitor for PS4 and another for PC.
27 inches
Two HDMI ports, OR an HDMI with a DVI port.
Low response time, mainly for fighting games. I'm not sure where the "acceptable minimum" is even after looking it up, so I usually go by what DisplayLag calls excellent.

I found these few so far, just want to see if they are looking good. And if you have recommendations, I am all ears.

Here's a curved one.

Unless you're going to sit fairly far away (I guess like leaning/laying back in a chair playing PS4 games) 27" looks kinda bad at 1080p because the pixels get bigger.
That asus isn't bad, but that acer doesn't have DP or a 2nd HDMI port.
