I'm in the market for a new Computer Monitor. I get so lost every time I browse or do research. First my budget is 800-1000 ish max. I'm looking for something 27" or bigger. 144Hz. 4K a plus. Looking for something with G-Sync I have the right parts to use it and I game a lot. Good picture quality would be good cause I use Photoshop from time to time. 4ms or better response time preferred. Also not crazy at all about curved.

I know the specs seem high but I'm willing to pay for it.

Any advice would be greatly appreciate. If you wanna know my full build let me know.

Well, I am not a gamer but I stay in touch with what's happening on the high end.

You might look at something like Acer's Predator XB1 Series XB281HK. It meets your requirements, and is a TN rather than IBS panel and it comes in at about $600 on Amazon and NewEgg.

I use an Acer monitor and I have been very happy with it - but I do photo and video editing so I have much lower specs than you are looking for.

Best of luck! (You must have spent a fortune on a graphics card!)

Wow! The cost of your graphics card is about the cost of a whole system build for me. I hope it brings you lots of joy. :)

It has very much.
Also I thought ISP was better than TN but maybe I'm wrong.

For gaming, TN panels give you a lower response time for less ghosting. IPS panels have better color accuracy and viewing angles, so people doing photo and video editing prefer IPS. You just have to match the pluses and minuses to what you will be doing.

Been looking at this one a lot https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01A3N60A2/_encoding=UTF8?coliid=I3LY4XXQLGBNPV&colid=FX9Z8ECAXL4X&psc=1

The ports suck kinda though.

That one isn't 144Hz

This one is https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0173PEX20/?tag=pcpapi-20

That's why I thought that the 28" Acer would be a better match for you. It has the 144 Hz refresh rate and the response time drops from 4 to 1 ms.

Re: Ports - Besides a DisplayPort, what else do you need?

Some of these high end monitors have old Generation ports.
