I've been using a 1080p monitor for years, but after upgrading to an RTX 5070 Ti, I'd like to move up to 1440p. I'm looking for a solid gaming monitor—ideally around 27 inches—with a budget of no more than $350 USD. I know that price may limit features such as refresh rate or OLED, but I'd appreciate recommendations that offer the best overall value.

You can sometimes find a 27-inch 1440p OLED with a high refresh rate right around $350 during sales. The Acer Predator X27U, for example, has been available for about $349 and offers a very good gaming experience. It’s worth checking local and online deals since pricing changes often.
A 5070 Ti is powerful enough for 1440p, but it can also handle 4K gaming in many situations. If you’re not in a rush, saving a bit longer for a high-refresh 4K OLED around $600 could make more sense and give you a more noticeable upgrade from 1080p. Otherwise, a good 1440p display under $350 is still a perfectly reasonable choice.
That sounds promising. I’ll keep an eye out for the X27U and similar sale prices.
