Mainly down to a few brands , LG, asus . Gsync , freesync. 1440 , with display port and hdmi . And cost . At least with currys and distant selling regs it can be returned if undesired . Wasnt actually fixed on the 165hz, just from a few that caught my eye that had it. But only 2 that were sub £300 after thinking more . Had a brain fart over past few days thinking I was prepared to spend more, like double 🤫.... balls to that ! Was this LG above or asus below : https://www.currys.co.uk/gbuk/gaming/pc-gaming/gaming-monitors/asus-tuf-vg27aq1a-quad-hd-27-ips-lcd-gaming-monitor-black-10220251-pdt.html

Ok, bought this 🤔 https://www.currys.co.uk/gbuk/gaming/pc-gaming/gaming-monitors/lg-ultragear-27gp850-quad-hd-27-nano-ips-lcd-gaming-monitor-black-10225031-pdt.html For 299, not bank breaking . If old retro looks bad / worse than 24" 1080 then I'll have both monitors on GPU . Thanks

Thanks for info. I'll look onto the 1440 a bit more . As long as the emulation stuff runs without being stretched like Hulks undies then I'm ok with it.

Do you think there is a point in going 1080 to 1440, anti aliasing I assume would benefit 1440. The most newer games for me are crysis and fallouts 🤫. My PC is built manely for emulation purposes , got 2 x 5tb hdds and under 1TB of images of moderns ( modern to me anyway after wiping the dust off ). Only 2 I have seen to decide are 27" 1440 165 hz , 27" 1080 165 hz , both gsync / freesync but nearly £200 difference. I'm 47 and not kept up in last 5 years .

What if the games resolution does not go higher than 1080 ? Does it just stretch or get black bars .On emulators is it the case of just setting x times internal resolution in the gui .

Hi folks . Looking at new monitor this week and confused . At the mo I use a 22" 1080 and want a newer 27" ips freesync/ multi . from what I can read on other searches if I went 27" 1440 165hz older games that ran on 1080 ( half life 2, stalker , 10 years older games) will look blurry and bad on 1440. Also emulation games <60hz will need monitor setting changed every time I want to switch. does anyone use 27" 1440 freesync and have any issues ? and can the monitor just be set and left for all modern down to emulation. if there are issues then I may just have to use 2 monitors . Thanks for any advice.
