I don't want to go on living the boring life of a celestial forever.

Hey everyone, I want to upgrade one of my monitors but I have a 970, so I need a true gsync monitor. Is the Asus PG279Q a generally well regarded monitor? They have it in stock at my local micro center and I'd rather not buy it online so I can return it if needed.

in all honesty this popped into my head as a solution as well. a used 1060 will be an upgrade and probably fits within the delta for teh gsync tax lol.

im not sure if its actually good advice :shrug:

I hadn't even really considered that as an option, but you're right. How's the Acer VG271U? I can pick that up along with a new 1660 super for the same price as the one I originally looked up.

very helpful post

I think I might just wait for the aforementioned "real good" LG 27GL850 to come in stock at my microcenter, I called them and they mentioned a first responder discount, which I would be able to use and I dont mind waiting for a gpu refresh and spending a bit more since its all trumpbux anyway.
Thanks for the help everyone!

I ended up springing for that hp omen offer since it has the same panel, but then the 27GL83A was in stock, so i also got that. Hopefully they both come in around the same time so i can try both of them at the same time.

e: actually, does anyone have experience with how long it takes for an amazon preorder to turn into a an actual order? im doubting that the timing will match so I'll probably just end up returning the omen after a few trial days
