Question Recommendations for a new monitor ?

[JediMa]

I've been using my LG 27GL850 monitor for few years now but I would like to buy a better one.
Besides gaming I use it for AI graphics and photo-editing so I would like to stick with an IPS screen or better, and at least 27-inch.

I have an RTX 4070 Super GPU. I would stick to 2k but I'm open to any good advice

So these are my requirements:

• 27-Inch screen or more.
• IPS
• G-sync
• 2k , 1440P or more (considering monitor inches)
• Excellent black and colors accuracy
• Budget 500 Euros

I will buy it on Amazon.it

These are your options with your requirements included,

Most are 27", but two at the close of max budget are 31.5" and 32". Few 4K monitors to choose from as well.

Excellent black and colors accuracy

For that, i'd actually suggest VA panel, rather than IPS panel. Especially when you want excellent black (high contrast ratio).

VA panel options are these,

E.g comparison between ~€310 monitors,

Gigabyte is VA panel, with ~3500:1 contrast ratio. LG is IPS panel with mere ~800:1 contrast ratio. You can see in comparison how inferior LG is to Gigabyte, when it comes to blacks.

IPS does have better color accuracy, but that doesn't do much when it can't produce proper blacks. VA panel is best when it comes to producing great blacks.

Since i need great contrast ratio due to my image editing, i specifically bought high contrast ratio VA panel monitor. I'm pleased with mine and now, i will not look back towards TN or IPS panels. (Only upgrade i'd consider over VA panel would be QD-OLED, if i'd have enough money.)
