Question Monitor Advise

[kubrat]

Hi!

I'm building a new PC and I already chose a monitor (I have another thread for the pc build) but I happened to find another one, which I think might be a better choice. Both are with similar price.

Which one would you advice me to pick?

The monitor are: Samsung Odyssey G50D and ASUS TUF Gaming VG27AQZ
I'm in EU and will be buying from Amazon.de. My budget for a monitor is €200 flat.

Thank you!

If you can, see the monitors in person.
Failing that, read the rtings reviews:

ASUS TUF VG27AQ Review

The ASUS TUF VG27AQ is a popular entry-level 27-inch, 1440p gaming monitor that first came out in 2019. It has a native 144Hz refresh rate that you can overclock...

Of the two, the Samsung looks better.

Reconsider your budget allocation.
Pay what you must for the very best monitor you can afford.
A monitor is a long term purchase and may well be useful for several generations of pc builds.

It's a pretty tight budget PC build - $1200, including the monitor. If I could extend it to $1400, that'd be great but unfortunately I can't atm.

I can try to go for something like ASUS TUF Gaming VG27AQL3A, which is $44 more expensive than the Samsung, at least here in EU.

Thanks for the advice.
