I currently have two HP X27q monitors that I've been using for a few years now, and I'm looking to add a third monitor to my setup. I had my eye on getting another one of the same model, but I found out that they're out of stock.
I'm hoping to find something similar in the price range of $200 to $300. The new monitor will primarily be for gaming, as I want to make it my main screen. Here are the specs I'm looking for:
- 1440p resolution
- 165Hz refresh rate to match my current monitors
- 27 inches in size
- I prefer an IPS panel, but I'm open to alternatives
- HDR and color accuracy aren't my top priorities; I just want it to look good while gaming.

You might want to check out the MSI G272qpf E2. It's under $200, offers decent colors, and has settings for standardized colors if you like. The only downside is that it doesn’t have a USB port, which might limit some flexibility, but honestly, I’ve never found much use for USB ports on monitors anyway. Quite the steal!

I get what you mean about the USB port; I don't use mine either. It seems like it might not be available on Amazon directly, but I'll see if I can grab it from somewhere else. Thanks for the tip!
