Currently have Acer XB270HU monitor. 1440p, 27", 144hz. It's about 5 years old, so I was looking into upgrading. This monitor is pretty much the first gen IPS monitor that ran 144hz

My cpu specs: i7-7700K 4.20GHZ, GTX 1080TI

What kind of an upgrade could I do with my current specs? I considered 32" with the same specs, but I read with 1440p it results in some blurriness. I could get a newer generation of 27" 1440p, I think some support HDR now and slightly higher refresh rates. Not sure if that's even worth it

Don't think my machine could handle 4k 144hz.

Thanks all

you gotta experience 4k pc gaming on a large monitor or tv at least one time
even if its not higher fps

its crispy
all the little details are no longer little

PS4 Pro on a 4k TV doesn't count

but im going to get another 27'' 144hz if the government hands out more checks
