Buying a new Monitor

Hey guys I'm currently buying a new monitor and my budget is around 270$. I wanted to pick up a good 27" 1080p monitor but people said that monitors with that resolution and size do not look that good since they are kinda blurry and you can see the pixels.

So I want to get a good 24" monitor with at least 5 ms response time and good colors since I will be watching a lot of movies and playing a lot of video games. The thing is when I'm going around looking for monitors I don't understand the contrast thing. Sometimes it say 5000:1 with dynamic contrast and sometimes 1000:1 with static or native contrast. I wouldn't mind if the monitor would be running at 144 Hz

Would love if you guys would suggest any monitors to me and explain this contrast thing. Thank you so much for all the help !

I'm not to sure about the contrast thing, I think the higher the number the better the contrast will be. My 5+ year old 27" 1080p Asus monitor has no blurriness whatsoever, maybe on cheap monitors. 5 ms response time is pretty high, pretty much any monitor you buy in that price range will be 2ms or lower.

I just bought this 27" Samsung S27E390H ($275). Beautiful sharp picture out of the box. Significantly better than the 25" Samsung P2570 it replaced. I don't think you'd be disappointed.
