Is this monitor a good choice if I don't play any FPS titles? I was looking for a g-sync monitor with decent brightness and this was one of the cheapest options I found. Do high refresh rates have any downsides?

I can't think of any practical downsides to a high refresh rate, but I do think this monitor is pretty specifically targeted at FPS games, as it is only 1080p. That is a pretty low pixel density, so I would only use a monitor like this for specific builds, rather than as a general purpose display.

I put up with a 27" 1080p display for years. Text was a little blurry, but it was my first 16:9 display and it was pretty good for games. So if you plan a lot of general purpose use I wouldn't.

24" 1080p
27" 1440p
32" 4K (32" 1440p is quite similar in density to 27" 1080p)
