So I have combed through the monitor posts here and I am not really ready to drop $500+ on a monitor. I just don't play as much as I used to but when I play I want to compete. I am currently using a decent Dell 27" monitor and have been for a couple years. I am ready to upgrade but I am having trouble making a decision. Does anyone have any suggestions in the $200-$300 range? Currently looking at the Acer Nitro VG271U based on rtings.com but I am really not 100% sure what I am looking for options wise. It has the HDMI 2.0, do I need the 2.1?
**Edit: I know everyone is going to say just get the GIGABYTE but I can't justify it.
**Edit 2: Forgot to mention I am playing on PS5 and want to make sure I can get the 120Hz refresh rate.
Buy the Gigabyte, you’ll be covered for the entire life cycle of your ps5. It’s a good purchase

Gigabyte
Is the Gigabyte M27Q-R 27" a solid option?
I have the M27Q. I don’t know what the Q-R is. On 22 I get 3840×2160 @ 60 Hz or 2560x1440 @ 120hz

It has 2.0, it's not a 4k monitor.

HDMI 2.1 is not just about being able to run 4k@120hz, but it's also required to use VRR. One of the best features introduced in next gen console gaming.

Sir I can tell you exactly what you're going to have to do if you want 4K at 120hz I have been through this and been through this and been through this if you're wanting to have 120 hertz good graphics can I make a suggestion to you? With the new update well it's not new anymore you can get a 1440p monitor which is 2K that you can play at 120 hertz and still have a great picture you can play at 120 hertz at 1080, but if I were you I would go with the 1440p if I was not wanting to spend a lot of money they have some affordable ones out there that are good panels I forgot to say if you want 4K 120hz you're going to have to have a monitor with HDMI 2.1 cheapest ones 800 bucks they did just come out an Alienware that interests me but again it's expensive the only way you going to get 4k 120 is HDMI 2.1 but you can get similarly as good graphics with 2K at 120 hertz over HDMI 2.0

And I learned this the hard way by the way I'm on my third monitor this year

And honestly my $987 monitor that is 4K 120 hertz HDR all that I'm still not happy I think it should be better. We're going to have to end up waiting for the OLED technology to come out in a smaller screen and the price come down a little more that's the only thing out there that would satisfy my high expectations

I've been looking at an LG C2 42" for $999. Not sure if I'll go for it or not. My M27Q is pulling 2K at 120Hz and 4K at 60Hz. The biggest difference I would see is the response and lag times.
