Hi all, I'm looking for a monitor recommendation for my desktop.
Just list down all the absolute cheapest option out there you can think of (of course make sure it is those famous brand Acer BenQ etc. instead of random unknown brand) thumbup.gif

- 27" or 32"
- 2560x1440
- 144hz
- Any panel
- All special features are NOT required (G-Sync, FreeSync, HDR, QLED etc.)

Just list down for both 27" and 32", I would like to compare them and see the price / design difference and see whether it suits me or not, thanks all!

Thanks for the recommendations!

Usage for editing in Photoshop & Lightroom, but I'm not doing any advertisement etc which requires 100% SRGB
Light gaming only & of course want the general 144Hz smoothness when using Windows

Hence I didn't need any special features, currently I'm using a old monitor (1080p, 24", 60hz) , been using since 10 years ago, wanna upgrade it haha as my laptop is 144hz panel

Be extra careful when going for 32". Here's why:
1. Once you've gone 32", you can never go back to smaller screens tongue.gif
2. Make sure the screen is curved. You have to move your head a lot if you use flat screen on a 32" monitor
