Hi, I am looking for a keyboard and monitor and really frustrated by the research (mainly because I am not able to get to a final conclusion). I am a techie and regularly watch reviews and still found myself in this situation.

Lets talk about keyboard 1st,

I want full black (won't mind a slight red accent), and preferably brown switches, use case gaming, budget upto ~7K (this shouldn't be the problem) . And with that I think you guys can guess where my frustration comes from, there is nothing that matches my preferences.
Nahi chahiye flashy colorful keyboards, and brown switches kaha gaye, kya jabardasti hai😑.

Next monitors.

I want a 1440p monitor, mostly leaning towards single player gaming (basically dont need 300hz refresh whenever I am playing multiplayer), and content consumption (movies, series, anime). Long lifetime ( my current monitor AOC 1619Sw lasted 16 years and running with display repaired once 10 years ago), I also want lower min brightness (I am a vampire) to reduce eye strain at night , budget is upto ~25K. I mostly trust monitors unboxed as they provide in depth analysis of features and point out marketing BS ( which is abundant in India).
So I wanted AOC 27G40XMN; even G3XMN is not available in India,
then I turned to ROG XG27ACS, now I read somewhere that the quality on newer ACMS/ACMES (dont know the difference in these 2) have lower color quality and performance than ACS, but to top it all I heard Asus service is not good, but this is best in class and price point.
I was also considering curved as I think it suits my needs better, but it is a category which is not much discussed and so couldn't get much data on it, but I do have some brands in mind MSI MAG, LG and samsung.
I dont trust lenovo with quality and performance and consider them equal to chinese brands.

Someone, please help 😢.

Hi all, I am currently looking for a 27 inch 1440p curved display with 120-244 hz refresh rate.

My usecases are single player gaming, some multiplayer gaming, coding and media consumption. So I think a curved monitor suits me better.

I only trust monitors unboxed videos as unbiased and detailed enough to help make the decision, but since I am in India there would be price differences and some specific models might not be available.

I want a value for money long lasting monitor. I have been using an AOC 736p monitor for past 15 years, which was repaired once.

I have tried using chatgpt and Gemini(default Google search response), I am very well aware of AI hallucinations and misunderstandings it has, so I am sceptical of the response it gives, it can't be trusted fully, it leaves out some details and gives false positives.

I am considering

MSI MAG 27CQ6PF which is available on Amazon for 16k INR

As MAG is a reliable product line. I have budget upto 25k INR.

Edit : I also want a monitor that would have a lower low brightness, as I prefer turning down the brightness in the night and turning off the lights in house to reduce eye strain ( at least that's my way of reducing eye strain in the night) (I am the type of person who prefers not having bright lights in my room anyways).
