Need some monitor advice!

Okay, so I'm finally upgrading my monitor, and the choices are kinda overwhelming, y'know? I've been eyeing up the [TUF Gaming VG27AQ by ASUS](/monitors/asus/tuf-gaming-vg27aq) because a friend swears by it for its smooth gameplay. Is that responsiveness really noticeable, though? I'm not a pro gamer or anything, but I do get kinda frustrated with lag when I'm playing shooters. I've also seen some buzz about OLEDs... like the [ROG Swift OLED PG27AQDP by ASUS](/monitors/asus/rog-swift-oled-pg27aqdp), but are they worth the extra cash? I mainly want something that will make my games look incredible. I don't really care about the built-in speakers, but a great picture and smooth motion is a must. Any thoughts?
