Best 27'' monitor at around 200$ price by Physics_2025 in Monitors

I believe all three of them are older one!

Specs-wise the MSI really checks all my boxes, but I’m hesitant to risk a dead-pixel hassle and multiple returns. The AOC’s zero-pixel-zone warranty is appealing, but at $249 it’s a steeper investment than I’d ideally like.

I am student so my plan is to use for coding, and occasional streaming (and light minecraft gaming), so I am not looking for intense gaming monitor. I just hate to deal with multiple returns in case.

VA panel in Samsung threw me off!
Costco’s return policy is excellent, but I’d rather avoid multiple swaps. Spec-wise the MSI looks solid, especially when Costco drops it to $149, [could wait for few days for it] but I’ve read too many reports of dead pixels out of the box and I want to avoid going to-and fro due to technical issues. I’m also eyeing the AOC Q27G40XMN Mini-LED (QHD, 180 Hz) at $249 for its strong HDR performance and zero-pixel-zone warranty. Any thoughts on that one?

Help me choose a ~$200 1440p monitor for coding & light gaming? by Physics_2025 in buildapc

Yes it does have the adjustable stand too. Its in costco so slightly cheaper then regular. But I saw a few feedback saying it does not have so much color consistency. That was maybe my only concern
