Hey, I need to update my monitor and would like some recommendations. The PC I'm using are used both for work and gaming. Should I go for a 2560x1440 or a 1080p monitor if I want to target 120ish refresh rate?

The games I mostly play are Elite Dangerous, Microsoft Flight Simulator as well as BG3 and older titles

The demands I have for the monitor is low latency, high refresh rate, around 27 in size.

HW specs:

Radeon RX 6700

16 GB RAM

Ryzen 5 3600

The RAM and CPU is being upgraded around Christmas.

Thanks a lot in advance

If you want a 1440p non ultrawidde go for either Asus VG27QAL1A, Dell S2722DGM or Gigabyte M27Q-P. The 2nd one is a VA panel which will be your best budget option and if you don't care about response time being slower than IPS then it can look better in non competitive games and the 3rd being cheaper ips option
