I'm not well versed in the monitor world, would this be good for content creation?

How do you save more with Amex?

Type in Amex amazon on this site. You will find a few of them. Looks like the latest deal is 40% off (max $50) so that's even better

This is for high refresh rate gaming specifically. You would not want this for doing any type of graphic design or video content creation. You would want a monitor geared to color related features.

Quote from Ohsighrus :
The link in my post has side-by-side comparison ability with likely priced and competing models. I would start there before trusting anyone's personal opinion. Rtings benchmark testing are very well done and professional.

LG's models almost all support HDR in this price range. You will always pay more for an LG monitor over Viewsonic, but you'll easily see where you money went in side by side comparisons.

I have the LG 27" 27GL83A-B which I got on black Friday for $320. It's a great monitor but the IPS glow in the top right corner is pretty bad. I've never noticed IPS glow on a monitor before and now I can't unsee it. Very annoying.

From what I remember Viewsonic has a lackluster RMA program, and honestly I'd rather take the other monitor posted the last few days with the updated I/O (usb-c/non PD).

I bought this monitor and it was pretty good for the price. I ended up returning because there were multiple dead pixels and instead got the Acer nitro xv272u. A few things I didn't like about this konitor, along with the dead pixels, were the lack of ergonomics and on screen menu selection. After doing some extensive research on monitors here are some conclusions:

1. For console and most computers, 2k is more than enough. For consoles, 120hz is enough to future proof but know that 60hz will be more than adequate. The key is having freesync for those twitchy games.
2. HDR in this price range is stupid. If you want true HDR you need to spend a lot more money, especially if you want HDR to work with freesync. HDR in this price range is fake and adds nothing.
3. If you aren't hooking up to a vesa stand, ergonomics are really important
4. IPS will have the glow no matter what but will be the most true with colors but will also have the worst response time. TN have awful viewing angles and color reproduction but best response time. VA is somewhat in-between the two. For competitive gaming where you care more about response time, go with TN. Otherwise, I'd recommend IPS.
5. Don't get curved monitors for consoles
6. Rtings is cool and all, but don't let that be your ONLY resource, look at other review sites (e.g. displayninja)
7. Easy On screen menu accessibility is crazy helpful if you constantly switch inputs or switch settings.

Hope that helps. I'm not am expert by any means, so any info I have wrong just correct me

Probably the best value for a gaming monitor at 27" + IPS + "1ms".

$310 was the direct from manufacturer price, so pretty much standard price. '

bad ergonomics and zero gaming features typically found in gaming monitors.

This is more of an in-stock notice than a sale notice. Most high demand 1440/144hz-165hz monitors on Amazon have been sold out for a while.

There are tons of better monitors than this. It's hardly a must have especially compared to ASUS and LG's competition models which retail slightly higher for much better monitors.
For someone who is looking for a budget 1440 144hz monitor, would you still suggest though?

I checked my Amazon link (which I have bookmarked and check at least twice a day) and it appears the monitor is no longer available.

I went through it and was horrible. Had to send in a picture of the bad panel, go back and forth with customer service for status on the RMA. Took about 2 weeks to finally get it authorized to return and another week after arrival for the refund
