I finally got my hands on a PS5 last week and I've been playing on this old 1080p TV but man it looks so blurry. I'm trying to find a solid 4K monitor because I want to actually see the graphics but my budget is strictly $500 like I literally cannot go over that or my rent is gonna be late. I spent all night looking at reviews and everyone keeps mentioning the Gigabyte M28U which seems okay but then I saw some people complaining about backlight bleed and the HDR being basically useless??

Then I looked at the ASUS TUF VG28UQL1A because it has HDMI 2.1 which I guess you need for 120fps? But it's right at the $500 mark and some stores have it for more so I’m stressed about pulling the trigger. My logic was that I should prioritize the HDMI 2.1 stuff for future proofing but I dont even know if I'll notice the difference between 60Hz and 120Hz on a screen that small. I'm in Chicago so I can probably hit a Micro Center but I need to decide by Friday so I can have it for the long weekend. Is there like a hidden gem I’m missing or should I just risk it with the Gigabyte? I just dont want to spend $480 and have it look like crap in a dark room...
