Ok as i get more into this gaming scene I'm thinking about a monitor as in the title with a budget of about £300, after reading through other posts on here & browsing Amazon I've come up with a couple of possibilities, as per the links below, I know the Samsung is G-sync compatible, but not sure about the AOC, any advise appreciated.

We love you Ukraine
Oh sorry, I just actually looked at that odyssey and it’s not a model I’m familiar with. That would be a good contender if reviews stack up.

The odyssey is a 240hz monitor, it’s really for competitive play.

A really good 1440p 144hz option that includes full HDR10 is this Asus Tuf:

ASUS TUF Gaming VG27AQ HDR Gaming Monitor 27 Inch WQHD (2560 x 1440), IPS, 165Hz*, Extreme Low Motion Blur Sync G-SYNC Compatible, Adaptive-Sync, 1ms (MPRT), HDR10, Black https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B07VTPKCLS/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_fabc_6j5ZFbZD223ZC?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1

That Asus does look nice, bit over budget though I'm trying to be good :ROFLMAO:

That's a lovely monitor, I must read more up on it.

How do you find the curve?

Took a bit to get used to the curve at the start, but now finding it really nice, and 1440 is definitely the way to go.

If this is so good, I should think its big brother the G9 is absolutely amazing
