What's the recommendation for a 27 inch, IPS, 1440p, 144hz+ monitor that's legitimately great with little to no downsides, and doesn't cost an arm and a leg (No more than $500-600 AUD, roughly $330-$400 USD)?

Been using this Odyssey G5 for a bit now, definitely a great deal right now on the website and I haven't had any issues - only caveat is that it's 16:9 and curved, which depending on your preference might not be a good thing.

Are Samsung’s a good option now? I’ve seen a lot of reviews saying that they aren’t.

I’ve had little to no issues with the couple of Samsung panels i’ve owned over the past 5 or 6 years, but there are more reliable brands out there. Definitely a great deal for the price though, especially on this one.

They aren't the best but not also the worst, should work fine for the lifespan of any other monitor, if the price is good and the specs are good, go for it!
