Looking to upgrade from a 60Hz IPS to something with a higher refresh rate. Mostly play Valorant and CS2. Budget is around 200-250. 1080p is fine, I care more about response time and refresh rate than resolution. 27 inch preferred.

Anyone got recommendations?
 
Dell G2724D. 27 inch, 165Hz, IPS, 1ms. Goes on sale for about 220 regularly. Colours are decent for an IPS panel and the response times are solid for competitive play.
 
If you can stretch to 280 the ASUS VG27AQ1A is worth it. 170Hz and the colours are noticeably better. I use it for Valorant and it's been great.
