i already have velina and promiea and currently saving for remi so just wondering if they all cpuld work well together idk.

Thinking about getting a new monitor from the Amazon prime day sale.

I currently own a Samsung Odyssey G5 27 (165Hz, 1440p, VA), and it looks fine enough, but the HDR isn't great, and the motion smearing is definitely noticeable.

currently looking at the LG 27GX704A-B (or the ASUS XG27AQDMG if it goes on sale).

Are these good options? Since i'm not coming from an IPS like most people, how much of a difference will I see?

Also, are there any other monitors I should be considering? My goal is <$500 USD, 27", 144Hz+, 1440p OLED with G-sync if possible.

Budget - ~$700 USD.

Are you open to refurbished/used?

- 100%

How would you prioritize form factor (ultrabook, 2-in-1, etc.), build quality, performance, and battery life?

- Performance, Build Quality, Battery life, Form Factor

How important is weight and thinness to you?

- Not very important. Wouldn't mine something on the thinner side.

Do you have a preferred screen size? If indifferent, put N/A.

- N/A.

Are you doing any CAD/video editing/photo editing/gaming? List which programs/games you desire to run.

Lighter gaming mostly. I mainly play lighter stuff like Minecraft/Indie titles/ZZZ/old AAA games.

Any specific requirements such as good keyboard, reliable build quality, touch-screen, finger-print reader, optical drive or good input devices (keyboard/touchpad)?

- Don't care about a fingerprint reader or optical drive.

- A touchscreen would be nice if possible.

- Nice build and a good keyboard would also be preferred.

Leave any finishing thoughts here that you may feel are necessary and beneficial to the discussion.

- Mainly just a gaming/general use laptop of good quality and performance.

- I'm an android user.
