ASUS ROG
5.0

"Ball out and get the ROG swift 32" 4k. It can do 4k240hz and 1080p480hz for shooters. Displayport 2.1 so you don't need DSC which basically takes up 2 of your max # of monitors instead of 1. The OLED tax is 100% worth it."
"Take a look at the ASUS ROG Strix OLED XG27AQDMG and Gigabyte AORUS FO27Q2 (or the Q3 360Hz), as well as the MSI MAG 271QPX"

Koorui
4.0

"I'd also suggest the Koorui GN10 (Fast VA Mini-LED), which competes with the AOC and Xiaomi ones. Other than those 4 I don't think there are others with that much value at around $300"
"Try mo Koorui 22N1 (3k) or kung medyo mataas 24E3 (5k). Ang Koorui ay subsidiary ng HKC na reputable monitor brand."
