ASUS TUF VG27AQ

The value IPS sweet spot — a 27-inch 1440p IPS at 165Hz with fast response, adaptive sync, and ASUS gaming features (ELMB), hitting the same ideal 1440p high-refresh balance as the LG for typically less. Slightly less feature-rich/color-tuned than the top LG, but excellent core gaming and strong value.
