I’ve found that 1440p 240Hz screens are a great mixture for a wide range of game types, and you can utilise the higher resolution, the higher refresh rate or both, depending on your PC’s strength and the game you’re playing.

For example, more mid-range PCs should be able to hit 240fps fairly consistently in games likeCounter-Strike 2orValorant, so you can take advantage of that smoother movement that makes excelling in these games easier. You might not be able to hit 240fps in a AAA game with RT features, but the game still looks pretty sharp on a 27-inch 1440p screen, with good colour reproduction and viewing angles.

On a higher-end machine though, you’ll be able to max out both refresh rate and resolution more easily in a wider range of games and really take full advantage - and it might well be the case that you start with a mid-range PC and move onto a higher-end one later while keeping the same monitor, so this option ought to give you room to grow while keeping your budget for that later PC intact thanks to the reasonable asking price here.

Overall, a strong option at the $300 price point and well worth jumping on if you’re in the US.
