My kid broke my LG 27GN850-B :sleepy:

So I'm looking for replacement
i found an Acer Nitro XZ342CUV3, UM.CX2EE.305, VA, WQHD, 180Hz, 1ms, 2xHDMI, DP
It's €390 (euros) with 5 years warranty or 370 with 2 years warranty.

Is this worth buying ?

I tried checking some reviews but not really found anything that's a good review and I'm not well familiar with what is good these days...

Open for suggestions.

Thanks in advance
 
Your old LG and its newer versions is my usual go to mid-range IPS display.

rtings.com is my usual source for consistent monitor comparisons. That panel they haven't reviewed.

I do note this figure:

Vertical Frequency, so if you plan on HDMI, you might not get that 165hz out of it.
  • 48 Hz to 100 Hz - HDMI
  • 48 Hz to 144 Hz - DisplayPort

Another VA ultrawide to look at, quite a bit cheaper I should think:
