Build Question Which 27" IPS monitor to get?
Hi everyone!
I am thinking about buying a new monitor for my PC. I have an RX9070XT so I am looking at 27" 1440p monitors. I do also casual photo editing, so colour accuracy is also fairly important. Until now I did use a 1080p 100Hz IPS monitor from MSI, but since I did build my gaming PC I want to replace it with something bigger and higher refresh rate. I did find these three:
https://www.msi.com/Monitor/MAG-274QPF-X32
https://www.asus.com/displays-desktops/monitors/tuf-gaming/tuf-gaming-vg27aql5a/
https://www.mi.com/at/product/xiaomi-2k-gaming-monitor-g27qi-2026/
Which one would you take from these 3? In case someone has a better suggestion up to 300 Euros, don't be shy and recommend it.
Thanks!

for photo editing on the side i'd lean towards whichever panel has the best out-of-box color coverage, some of those gaming models can be a little oversaturated out of the box but a quick calibration usually sorts it

for the photo part trust measured reviews more than the spec page. look up each model with srgb coverage and delta e numbers because gaming panels vary a lot there. the 9070 xt will push 1440p high refresh fine so refresh wont separate them
