-Budget: $400-450 CAD. Absolutely nothing over $450.
-Nvidia 2080 GPU.
-Probably a good mix between gaming and productivity is advisable. (Meaning, I'd really rather not use a TN, because I'll be using this monitor for work as well).
-A year ago I used to want a G-Sync 1440p, but now there's no need to buy G-Sync and while my GPU can easily handle 1440p, I'm thinking maybe 1080p is better due to my budget restraints and even higher FPS in games.
-I also wanted a maximum of 24" for 1080p, but it seems there are some nice 27" 1080p options so maybe I'll have to settle.
-What do you recommend? Here's 2 monitors I've been looking at: (The Asus may have the advantage due to the stand being adjustable).
