VG271U lacks a height-adjustable stand for such an expensive monitor. Get Acer XV272U or Lenovo G27q-20.

Gigabyte M27Q is great for 30k.

Ryzen 3 is not too old to not support 1440p 144Hz, just check its HDMI version number for 144Hz support, else might run at 120Hz, not like that matters with your current laptop.

Thanks for suggesting, I bought the Lenovo G27q-20 for 23300.
