ALRIGHT EVERYONE THIS IS WHAT YOU DO WHEN YOU WANT TO BUY A MONITOR-

-go to this page, find a monitor with response time above 8.0 (VERY VERY important)
https://www.rtings.com/monitor/te...ponse-time

start checking monitors from 8.0 and up, (there's a link to Amazon for prices, check Ebay as well) when you see (Response Time @ Max Refresh Rate ) under motion section you want to basically see 3 grids of green squares

-ALSO 'very important'- you want 'contrast' around 6 and at the very minimum a 'black screen uniformity' at around 6 or higher, so you can witness dark scenes in games or movies with out staring at a bunch of nasty VERY DESTRACTING glow!!

here's an example of what you're loooking for-
https://www.rtings.com/monitor/re...p/omen-27q
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product...20&ie=UTF8 $235 (observe the poor black screen glow under black screen uniformity) this is the trade of here for trying to save $100, IS THIS WORTH IT to spend your life with indefinitely???

DO NOT SAY SCREW IT AND BUY SOMETHING FOR LESS YOU WILL REGRET IT, the square light box that your going to stare your life into for the next 4 years HAS to matter more than a couple bucks, equaling mere pennies per hour!!! you deserve better and be so grateful doing the right thing and INVESTING in what is FAR better!

life is short, find the right thing, 'BUY THE THING!'
everyone needs to rethink what a bargain really is and buy an Gigabyte MU32 or something...

I dug around everywhere, prices are back where they were 2 years ago, not the best time, wait for a Christmas drop or buy the 'HP omen' or better at minimum.

REMEMBER ignore when a monitor says 1ms latency or input lag, this means NOTHING! what matters is 'pixel RESPONSE time' You need to see a genuine chart the way RTINGS provides.
(If the monitor sends the signal to the screen and the screen blurs 10 frames into a mess you're better of with a 1080p 60hz monitor with decent 'pixel response time'.)

I'm out!
OP clearly stated it supports vesa mount.

How good of a deal is this? Did the usual SD reserve/buy first ask questions second thing so I'm not sure if there is anything better out there for the price. Some of the initial things I read sound good at least. Other than for gaming...how is this for office work as well?

I bought the similar monitor XV271U from Amazon during BF. So far looks good - I am using it for Office purposes and not for gaming right now. Everything works as per specs and has all the height/tilt adjustments.

Bought it when they were offering refurbs on eBay for ,$139. Not a bad monitor, HDR looks decent enough. Current has an issue on Win 11 and this monitor though if you load the official driver's the screen gets incredibly dim - and honestly the driver didn't seem to make much difference to me.

That's a good discussion. What is your preference between VA and IPS? And why ?

IMO, its less about the technology more about the actual panel.
IPS tends to be brighter (which some may say is too bright) and less prone to ghosting. There are reports of washed out HDR
VA tends to have better blacks/contrast (so better HDR), but more prone ghosting, and worse angles.

That said there are high contrast IPS or high refresh rate VA.

If I was forced to buy sight unseen, I'd probably lean toward IPS. Given that I usually watch media on the TV not monitor so HDR isn't _as_ important to me

I agree but if you take gaming out and add office use, I feel the VA is a better choice.
Of course it has to be a good VA
