So I'm running an 165hz Alienware DWF qd oled as my main gaming monitor, but I play a fair bit of shooter games. The Finals is my main shooter atm I play pretty competitively, but I dabble in CS2 here and there and other shooters. I want to get a nice high refresh rate 1080p, and something I don't have to worry about burn in on hud elements and such, as I'll also be running this monitor vertical next to my oled for discord, etc, when not being used for sweaty gaming lmao.

So the choices I've narrowed it down to are the AW2525HF 360hz monitor, I can get one used right now on FB marketplace for 320 cad, but it being used kind of concerns me. Other alterative is the newer but more budget oriented AW2525HM which is 320hz. Is the HF that much better than the HM? Another choice is the AW2725QF which is a 4k monitor that can switch to 360hz 1080p. I'd basically run it in 4k as a vertical monitor whenever not gaming fps games, but I'm worried 1080p 360hz as a dual mode and it being a larger 27" panel might make it look pretty bad. Im also open to other choices within a reasonable price range of 300-500 cad! Please help me decide!! :)
