My current display has been giving me dead pixels lately and I could use a new one. Here are some details that I am looking for:

Resolution: 1080p
Refresh Rate: I think I am ready to go over 75Hz, so 120/144 sounds good to me.
Budget: $150-170 max.
Size: 27" at least.
Speakers: Built-in speakers are preferred but not a deal breaker
Vesa compatible
Curve: I dunno, really not sure if curved displays are worth it. Would love your opinions.
Other: I don't need any additional features like USB ports, etc.

I have an RTX 3070 and a dual monitor setup. I don't plan to upgrade my GPU for the 4xxx series and mine is just a few months old. I love to play games on high with RT on if applicable, which is why I am still sticking to 1080p.

Thanks!

Well, 1440p with DLSS on should work as well with ray tracing on. But if you are happy with 1080p 27"

These are the two that meet your criteria, here are some reviews

Now this one looks to be a previous model, so the new one might not be exactly as good as this one.
