Best gaming monitors this 2026 that are actually worth buying right now?

My old monitor is finally giving up on me, the colors have this weird yellow tint now and I keep getting random flickering when I'm mid game. Been putting off replacing it for months but I think it's time.

I mostly play competitive shooters like Valorant and CS but I also want something that looks good for single player stuff like Baldur's Gate or story games. My budget is somewhere around $400 to $500, and I'd like at least 27 inches with a high refresh rate, 144hz or more if possible. I'm running an RTX 4070 so I want something that can actually keep up with that.

I looked at a few options on amazon and best buy but there's so many brands now, gigabyte, lg, samsung, msi, and half the reviews contradict each other.

What are you all using right now that you'd actually recommend, and is there anything specific I should watch out for when picking one?

Is it normal for BO to change as you get older?

I'm 34, and lately I've noticed that my body odor doesn't smell the way it used to. Back in my early twenties I could get away with a long day at work or a quick workout without really worrying about it, but over the past year I've caught myself noticing a stronger and slightly different smell by the end of the day. At first I thought it was just because of the hotter weather or maybe stress, so I switched deodorants, changed my soap, and even started wearing more breathable clothes, but it still seems different.

It made me wonder if this is just one of those things that naturally changes with age, or if there's usually another reason behind it. I haven't changed my diet much, and I don't take any new medications, so I'm curious what could be causing it. Has anyone else gone through something similar as they got older, and did you ever figure out what was behind the change?
