Can anyone recommend this monitor? Looking for a decent 1440p but willing to pay a little more if this isn't good
It's a solid 1440p monitor for the price. If you pay more, you can get a better stand, display port pass-through and higher refresh rates. So, it depends on what you want and your use case.

I have a budget of $180 to $200. Do you have any recommendations for some better than this? If not, I'll probably stick with this one and thank you for the info

I have a similar budget and I'm considering this model from Dell for 180. https://www.dell.com/en-us/shop/d...ccessories It's only 100Hz but it has built-in 2x5W speakers and an ergonomic stand.
I own the G2724D from last year, which has a great panel. I was hoping to buy another one, but that model has been replaced with the G2725D from OP. Lack of a height adjustable stand is a deal breaker for me, but 140 is a nice price and the monitor is VESA compatible.

Thinking of either 27" QHD or 32" 4k for office work (mainly Excel, and some light programming) - has anyone had experience with both specs, and whether 32" 4k was usable at 100% scaling? If I have to scale up the 32" 4k, I'm thinking might as well save some money and go with 27" QHD. Thanks in advance.

I think the above is really up to your eyes; kinda unfair to ask someone else who may be near sighted or has 20-15 vision.
As an example, my current primary work monitor is a 28" 4k @ 125%. I can push it down to 100% for short projects requiring full resolution but I find 125% for daily use less eye-strain. That said, for me, 32" 4k @ 100% will likely be useable similar to my current 28" 4k @ 125% setup.
My secondary monitor is a 24" 2.5k (1440p) @100% and I think I can go down to 75% on this monitor if it will allow.
Question is - how are your eyes?

For sure, I understand it depends on the person, I guess I'm looking for personal experiences / anecdotes. So I appreciate your input. And I understand that in theory it's the same PPI as a typical 15.6" laptop with 1080p, which I can daily drive @ 100% if need be, but wondering if it might cause long term discomfort. I'm more used to 27" QHD for a desktop, but honestly haven't tried daily driving a 32" 4k - the extra pixel real estate sounds very appealing (if driven at 100%), just don't want to have to pay for it with long term side effects (if there will be any). Thanks again for the input.

Is a VA panel. Look for an IPS for better viewing angles. It makes a huge difference.
Any 144hz and up is perfectly fine. My eyes can barely tell a difference between 144 and 180, although my eyes tells me there's a noticeable difference between 120 and 144 (and even bigger 75 to 144)
If I'm reading correctly the one in OP is 180hz while the one in your post is 144hz. Worth consideration.
I was thinking of the 1ms response time vs. 2ms for the Dell. But looking at it again, the 2ms is a typo from Amazon. As someone just mentioned, at 144hz and over the overall refresh rate might not be noticeable, but response time for video and gameplay can give you a better experience.
The trouble with monitors is that they are just one factor in your overall configuration. Using display port and AMD FreeSync is going to be very important to some and some people are going to be happy with a 100hz monitor with a good stand.

I once told myself that 24" 4k @ 100% was as large as I wanted to go until the 27-28" 4k went down in price significantly overtaking 24" 4k monitors. So when my 24" 4k died, I got a 28" 4k that I'm now using at work. At home, I have a 27" 4k + 23" 1080.
I'm starting to use my 24" 1080 + 24" 2k for gaming/personal and I don't see the need for 4k on that rig which means I really just need 4k for work.
I think I'd rather 27-28" + another 24" instead of a single 32". I can't imagine a 32" + another monitor fitting on my current table-top standing desk unless they're stacked on top of each other - which may not work for me. In 15 years, however, when my eyes are bad, if I still need to work, I may take a 32" 4k + 27-28" 2k on the side.
I own this monitor, viewing angles are trash. I regret buying it. For the money you probably won't find better value, but hindsight 20/20, I should've spent a little more for a better panel.

I used to have both 27in qhd and 32in 4k 100% next to one another and at about 5-6 feet away, texts on the 27in is definitely easier to read so that's my chat/email/discord/Twitter and also gaming since 4k gaming is more taxing on the system, depends on the game, obviously. Everything else like YouTube, netflix, charts, maybe even excels go onto the 32in 4k for me
