Using an LG Ultragear 34GK950F-B. Interested in upgrading to a 16:9. What's the best 27 inch monitor for gaming? (self.pcgaming)

I want to switch back to a traditional 16:9 and looking for opinions on the best 27 inch monitor currently available. A lot of folks on Amazon seem to dig this one from AOC, but I've never bought anything other than Dell or LG over the years. It's inexpensive, that's for sure.

I love ultrawide for work, and like it for FPS and racing. However, anything with a mouse driven user interface where I travel more to click action bars, shortcuts, etc. gets on my nerves. Then there's older games that don't support ultrawide that display black bars instead. I think there's more to like about a larger 16:9 for me when gaming is concerned.

Do you have any advice on dealing with these issues I have? I reckon it doesn't bother everyone.

Black bars don't bother me much and as for games like RTS or SIM type games, I never had much of a issue with it since I'm used to keyboard shortcuts and dpi changes in the fly with a decent mouse at this point.
