SeekerASUS ROG Strix XG27UQR
The ASUS ROG Strix XG27UQR is great for PC gaming. It supports VRR through FreeSync and G-SYNC compatibility to reduce screen tearing and has a max refresh rate of 144Hz. Motion looks good thanks to its quick response time at high refresh rates, but there's still some blur, especially at low refresh rates. Luckily, it has low input lag, and you won't notice any delay, even during reaction-based games. Unfortunately, it can't take full advantage of the PS5 and Xbox Series X|S because it lacks HDMI 2.1 bandwidth, so you can't play 4k @ 120Hz games on them.
