(Part 2) Best computer monitors according to redditors
We found 26,114 Reddit comments discussing the best computer monitors. We ranked the 1,932 resulting products by number of redditors who mentioned them. Here are the products ranked 21-40. You can also go back to the previous section.
I spent way too much time on this, but let's see how your claim plays out.
2. Akai MPK249 $400
2. Yamaha P71 $415
3. 21.5 inch iMac $1100 (although this is the base model, probably a good estimate)
3. Edifier R1280T Near Field Monitors $99
5. Asus 24" monitor $130x5=$650
4. Logitech G27 I'm going to say around $300, even though Amazon has it listed for nearly $1000. Seems like the MSRP a few years ago was $300-$400.
Add in like $1000 for each desk and $2000 for each computer we don't see (assuming there are two), that gets us to a total of $11,068.
There is a laptop bag stashed on the left side of the frame, so maybe it's a $9000 laptop.
The monitor is THE biggest bottleneck currently, with a mere 1440 x 900 resolution.
I am planning to get a widescreen monitor, to be accurate this one
I think 2560 x 1080 is going to be a massive improvement - I just have to keep on working to get it eventually.

AOC Agon has a 24", 1440p, 144Hz monitor for $250. It's also on Nvidia's "approved" GSync list. I've had mine for over a year now and I honestly don't believe there's a better price to preformance monitor in this range.

Once you taste the forbidden fruit, it's impossible to forget the taste.
I'd say the biggest change is going from 60/75 hz to 120/144hz. But the Jump from 120hz to 144hz was minor for me. Didn't notice that big of a difference. The jump to 240 was more noticable, but still not as big as the 60 to 144hz.
The good thing is that 144hz monitors have been increasingly dropping in price and on sale. You have 1080p 144hz monitors in the low $200's and 1440p starting around $300 but going all the way up to as much as you want to pay.

How many inches are you looking for ? this monitor is great with 5ms and an IPS panel. https://www.amazon.com/ASUS-VS248H-P-24-inch-Back-lit-Monitor/dp/B0058UUR6E this is the 2ms TN panel monitor!
Go to /r/Monitors/ for further.

34 inch ultrawide, IPS, gsync, 120 HZ refresh rate overclocked. I have it, it's a beast. The box it came in is HUGE.
> Who at Epic thought this would be acceptable is beyond me
Its fairly simple... The goal of competitive play is to make the playing field as level as possible.
They probably didn't want people to have a massive competitive advantage over others because they have the financial ability to drop $850 on a monitor.
And the aspect ratio lock only applies to competitive, further proving my point that this change is to level the playing field. If they did it with the sole goal of pissing you off, they would have put the aspect ratio lock in normal playlists as well.
Would you guys say it's worth picking one up if your game is averaging 120fps? Recent performance issues have made it so my shit is barely hitting 144. Have a 60hz monitor now but was looking to get 144 at the end of the month. (Primarily looking at this one )
This is not it. If you want the same monitor with an IPS panel for $4 more and Amazon customer support (Newegg's dead pixel policy sucks), then this is what you want:
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07JF8DQZJ/
Also, I own this monitor (IPS version) and I've had a great experience - my only complaint is the thick bezels.
EDIT: This monitor is on Google Express too if you want to use a 20% off coupon.
I haven't personally tried this other Acer monitor, but it's one I'm eyeing for the same price and feature set but thinner bezels:
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07CVL2D2S/
I'd get an IPS monitor like this instead https://www.amazon.com/Acer-SB220Q-Ultra-Thin-Frame-Monitor/dp/B07CVL2D2S/ref=sr_1_4?keywords=ips+monitor+21.5&qid=1556300009&s=electronics&sr=1-4
​
24" IPS Freesync 75hz monitors have been around this price too.
Have this. Phenomenal monitor. However, I would recommend Alienware AW3418DW for $30 more. The Alienware one has an updated panel and Dell's warranty is the shit.
Just be prepared to play the panel lottery. I had to go through 3 before I found one where the bleed/glow was at acceptable levels.

The AW3418DW has been selling for $650 new lately and is currently available from Beach Camera on Amazon for $670 new.
Gotta say $75-$100 off — 11-14% — for a refurbished unit with a shorter warranty does not seem worth it.
Freesync Version available also for $299.99 here:
Microcenter
Amazon
Got a new monitor that's 1080p and 75Hz for $89 on Amazon: Acer SB220Q bi 21.5" Full HD (1920 x 1080) IPS Ultra-Thin Zero Frame Monitor.
The color is incredible since it's an IPS display, and for me it's a perfect screen size, since it's not too big or small, and since I personally can't tell the difference in this size between 4K and 1080p.
The base is a little larger than I'd like, but it's not wobbly and there is a universal mount on the back if you prefer to use your own custom stand.

I use this with a GTX 1060 6GB, and I am very happy with it. A GTX 1080 would make it even better for that butter smooth gameplay with 144hz. It is also an IPS panel which is great.
144hz is a huge step up. If you don't have the money, then this is fine. But if you can drop the cash for a 144hz monitor, then I'd definitely go for it. It might even be worth it to check out a 1440p 100hz ultrawide.
Monitors to look at:
1080p 144hz TN
Ultrawide 1080p 144hz IPS
1440p 144hz TN(you might not be able to hit 144hz with all games on this one due to the resolution being so high)
EDIT: TN, not IPS
$349.99 on Amazon

Edit: Someone’s butthurt about something.... going through comments downvoting everyone.
just look for low ms and either IPS if you care about colors or viewing angles or TN if you don't
edit: this one from acer is 1080p, for pc use it can reach 75hz and supports AMD freesync, it's IPS and 4ms response time (anything 5 or under is good enough for gaming) for only 90 bucks

Quem entende de computadores sabe que você monta um PC MELHOR por um preço bem menor: Top de linha no MINIMO 5x mais forte, e o mesmo preço. Na verdade, um exagero, porque montei com as melhores peças no mercado atualmente. Poderia até ter poupado mais e aproveitado o quad-channel do ram na placa mãe, que seria melhor e mais barato, só quis ser overkill.
Os produtos Apple são overpriced em QUALQUER mercado, só ver a linha de ultrabooks deles por 2k dolares e os concorrentes pelo mesmo valor (Razer Blade).
EDIT: link talvez tenha problemas, então eis os itens:

OK let's use your example. Hang on, this is going to be a long read.
THE BUILD THINKING PROCESS: Have realistic goals for your budget and build the highest resolution to fps ratio you can get for the money with a target of 60fps minimum for at least 75% of the time.
When I make a build I almost always include an adaptive sync monitor (freesync/gsync) in the budget because of exactly your scenario.
When enabled, the average person CANNOT distinguish in the middle of a fight between 130 and 144fps. Now you're going to get that super APM Korean here who will claim they can but on average most people cannot consistently distinguish above even 120hz....Linus tech tips and a bunch of other respected tech youtubers have fleshed this out ad nauseum.
With this in mind, adaptive sync alone can often mitigate loss of frames vs what you actually notice when playing, thus slightly future proofing your needs to upgrade immediately on a new hardware cycle.
When a friend, family member or colleague asks for a pc build the following questions come into play:
In addition, I also explain the difference in most games between med, high and ultra settings and what things you could turn off to increase frames and not notice much difference in overall gameplay (e.g. Turn off Hairworks, Reduce shadows appropriately, at higher resolutions there is little need for higher AA, etc.)
NOW LET'S TALK ABOUT UPGRADE PATH:
According to most recent Steam Hardware Survey the vast majority of gamers are rocking 1050ti/1060 level of cards. These are 1080p medium to high settings cards that can deliver 30-120+ fps depending on game.
I tell them there is ZERO need to upgrade even when new hardware comes out IF you are happy with the current FPS of games you are playing. Seriously. Who gives a shit if all they want to play are esports titles like DOTA, LOL, Overwatch, Rocket League, Fortnite, etc and are getting 60fps+ and frankly typically 100+fps in those titles with those GPUs. Why bother upgrading a 3-5 year old system at all if your gaming experience is good and you are pleased with the current results.
When to upgrade then? When a game comes out that you know you want to play outperforms your current setup and you are willing to pay to meet the performance bar. Depending on title, this MOST of the time doesn't even require anything more than a GPU upgrade if they already have a solid CPU and RAM config.
I'll give you the perfect example. I had a colleague who was playing mostly esports titles with a 1060ti rocking a i5 4690k with 16GBs of DDR3 but now wanted to start playing more graphic intensive games such as Witcher 3 and Monster Hunter World PC at 60fps+ and he thought he had to buy an entire new computer and came to me. He currently has a 144hz 1080p IPS gsync monitor. I said no way man. Don't throw out the baby with the bath water. His rig specific for gaming is still quite playable in most titles. I asked him if he was happy to keep his current playing resolution (1080p gsync) or if MIGHT consider going 1440p in the near future. He said he was sure he wanted to stay at 1080p for now. I suggested he just upgrade to a 2060 for $350ish bucks. He ended up getting a 2060 for a little over $350 and is extremely happy with this upgrade path. Here he thought he was going to have to spend $1500+ and was perfectly happy with the $350 upgrade.
THE BUILD ITSELF:
I take my sweet ass time and tell them it will take at least a week before I'm done building when all parts arrive (even though I can knock out most builds in a few hours) so I have no rush on myself as I build PC's for a relaxing hobby and not a job. Some people build legos or models. I like building PC's.
Long read. I hope it helps save you some money and make a more informed PC building decision.

thats my monitor
Probably this one.
Hey all,
Does anyone have any advice on picking a monitor?
I know I want sub 5ms response time, 1080p, I don't need built in speakers, it should be 23" or less, and no more than $150.
Is something like this [Asus] (http://www.amazon.com/dp/B005BZNDOO/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pC_nS_ttl?_encoding=UTF8&colid=3319ACANEWCG5&coliid=I14PGLYO8HK9HL) any good for me?
I'm running 4670 and 760 and intend on playing BF4, Civ 5, XCOM, etc.
Thank you.
Not cool man. My work computer is sacred - nobody better touch a damn thing on it.
Re Monitors: I have two of these.
Samsung U28E590D 28-Inch UHD LED-Lit Monitor with Freesync support $279.99
HyperX Alloy Mechanical Keyboard BLUES ONLY $69.99
Logitech G610 Orion BROWNS ONLY $69.99
The Xbox One's hardware will only display on a monitor/tv at 1080p 60hz max. Anything over 60hz, such as a 144hz monitor, would be overkill not to mention more expensive. You can easily find solid 1080p 60hz monitors for around that price range. Here is a link to a great Benq model that is only $110. https://www.amazon.com/BenQ-GL2460HM-24-Inch-LED-Lit-Monitor/dp/B00IKDFL4O/ref=sr_1_4?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1497448800&sr=1-4&keywords=1080p+60+hz+monitor
Not sure why my links came out all fucked up? Too lazy to try and fix it.

You're right 144hz IPS is a complete impossibility.
I'm using a benq rl2455hm 1080p monitor 1ms gtg response time
That is of course if your looking for a 1080p gaming monitor, the below model does not support HDR or 4K

I bought it for $200 at the time at Best Buy. Now it's $175 on Amazon. I love this monitor. Worth the $200 I paid. Very vivid and flicker free monitor. No complaints at all.
i'll save you some time.
 
the top 1080p 144hz 1ms TN Panel they recommend over there on every post that asks, #1 is the Viewsonic XG2401
& #2 is the LG 24GM77-B
they say these two have the best color accuracy for a tn.
 
i recommend the Samsung CFG70
it has better color accuracy than both of those monitors above (because it's a VA panel and not a TN) and colors look as good as on my other IPS display IMO. (IPS panels have the best color accuracy)
and it has great viewing angles unlike a TN panel.
also it's $70 off rn. i really wouldn't pass this offer up as you're getting better color accuracy and better viewing angles for only $20 more than the Viewsonic.
 
good luck (:
144Hz on console?
Any of the 34" 100hz ultrawide panels would meet that description. They are all 3440x1440 I believe.
Asus ROG PG348Q
Acer X34
Samsung CF791 (this is a VA quantum dot panel though, not IPS)
Just a few examples. There's probably more of them.

Anyone here own this monitor? My company has a partnership with Dell so I could pick one up for $560 for personal use. Only thing holding me back is the 60Hz refresh rate. Anyone have a problem with this or notice it a lot during games? I'm a light "gamer" but I could afford a Gsync ultrawide from Asus or Acer. Just not sure if its worth twice the price.

thats a 50$ difference, also the like mentioned before the dell is on sale for 999$ multiple times a month making it 100$ cheaper than the acer with the identical panel.

I switched from a 50" plasma to a 24" monitor and it was a pretty noticable difference. I don't know if it was directly related to input lag or just being able to see everything up close. I also like sitting in a computer chair instaid of slumped on a couch or whaterver.
Here is the one I got. It is cheap and works great. My only complaint is the color isn't the most vibrant but for gaming it works just fine. If you are on a budget this one would be fine, if not maybe splurge a bit more on a nicer one.

It's 120hz, close enough IMO. I had a 1440p 144hz monitor before this but ditched it bc I hated the TN panel colors.
Amazon has the same refurbished but for $10 more or they have the same brand new for $309. Thought I saw it cheaper earlier. Only difference besides +$10 is Amazon offers a "Tech Support" for 60 days after purchase.

LG 34UC79G-B - 2560x1080, 144hz, IPS, Freesync
Samsung CFG70 - 1920x1080, 1800R Curvature, 144hz
This Samsung panel is VA, but they claim "Applying Samsung’s advanced motion blur reduction technology to its superior VA panel, Samsung has succeeded in creating the industry’s first curved monitor with a super-fast response time of 1ms (MPRT) that lets you enjoy unprecedented gaming performance without motion blur across the entire screen." so take that as you will.
You could check out Samsung c24fg70.
1080p, 144hz and it's VA, which is better than TN for colors and angles. Seems to be around the 23k mark too. Haven't personally used it but looks good to me. Keep in mind though, it's curved. Could be a pro or a con depending on preference.
Edit: This
It's $279.99 on Amazon currently.
I say this is a very good deal price wise, although I am not too sure how good it would be for gaming because I've heard ghosting is quite common with VA Panels.
You didn't mention a resolution or budget. I'm going to assume you're looking for a 1080p screen.
This here is a really good monitor: https://www.amazon.in/LG-24GM79G-B-Reduction-FreeSyncTM-Stabilizer/dp/B06XFGTGC4
It is a TN though, so color accuracy and viewing angles aren't great. But it is still a great panel.
Here's another TN panel: https://www.primeabgb.com/online-price-reviews-india/viewsonic-24-xg2402-gaming-tn-monitor/
Supposedly better color accuracy for a lower contrast ratio.
A VA panel: https://www.amazon.in/Samsung-23-5-Curved-Gaming-Monitor/dp/B01M1DEEYP
This has better color accuracy, but CFG70 is believed to have a purple ghosting issue, which is supposedly fixed in CFG73. Although, I haven't seen this model in any of the Indian e-commerce sites.
Also, this has a small curve so might not be something you want.
This could also be another option, the design might be better: https://www.vedantcomputers.com/lenovo-legion-y25f-10-24.5-inch-fhd-5ms-response-time
A few people have reported frame skipping issue with this model. So might want to look into that.
Nah that’s “normal”
Amazon has that discount thing a lot but its not the normal sale price. Look at almost any other product and it’ll have it lol it’s not a point of comparison
If it’s a prime day deal it’ll explicitly say
EDIT: Well hmm... CamelCamelCamel shows it as a sale price but I dont think it’s a specific prime day deal 🤷🏻♂️

There is this for 27in
In the PC world, 144hz monitors are definitely becoming the norm. 1080p at 120-144hz are becoming very cheap.
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07J4SXNQ5/ref=cm_sw_em_r_mt_dp_U_oA-6CbH5RB1SS
Of course, the GPU to reach that sort of frame rates is not. My 1080 Ti does just as many FPS at 1080p as the 2080 and I paid a $150 less a month and half after launch.... FPS seems to be very stagnant at the moment.
Off the Top of my Head:
I feel like I sound like a broken tape recorder mentioning this monitor on this sub but I have 3x of the Asus VS239H-P
It's only 23" but its 1920x1080 and IPS, I grabbed mine each used for about $100 off ebay.
A couple other options are the very popular Dell UltraSharp U2312HM at the same specs
Or a couple of "slim-bezel" monitors with the same specs as well that are both IPS are AOC's version and Acer's version. Slightly different but they use the same panel
Keep in mind these are all also below $200 (usually around $150) which would save you're friend some cash to throw into parts instead and

I got a bunch of cable managment things but I have yet to put them in because I am not sure on where everything will go yet but I was just so excited to get the monitors working.
I decided it was time to get my home office in order. The desk needed to be big enough to accommodate my day-job laptop as well as my laptop that I use for my photography business. It also had to be small enough to fit in my master bedroom.
Inspired by the minimalist setup by /u/hazzid (https://www.reddit.com/r/battlestations/comments/4iyjjw/new_house_new_setup_let_me_know_what_you_think_my/), I got to work.

Specs list for anyone wondering:
Anyone have experience with the Samsung U28E590D monitor??
It seems like a pretty solid deal. I was looking at that or the Acer G247HYU
The strongest gaming processor is the 7700K. Won't matter much on 4K, but also no reason not to get it. Strongest gpu is the GTX 1080 Ti, useful for 4K.

Possible display would be https://www.amazon.com/Samsung-U28E590D-28-Inch-LED-Lit-Freesync/dp/B00YD3DBOC (no gsync, but on 4K as far as I saw that would be too expensive).
https://www.amazon.com/Samsung-U28E590D-28-Inch-LED-Lit-Freesync/dp/B00YD3DBOC
It's normally 379-399 so it's an OK deal, also seems to have freesync for what it's worth. I'd wait for an IPS but if you want 4k go for it, although I've never used woot before
Just my long two cents but, in games where 144 Hz is actually significant (and attainable if we're being honest, you won't be hitting 144 fps on a lot of modern single player games) you can hit the 144 Hz dreamland with a 1070 or Fury X (I think) at 1440p - so the FreeSync/GSync is less important. You can also use an RX 480 and down scale to 1080p and get 144 fps/Hz that way and then enjoyable performance at 1440p on modern, single player games and get more use out of FreeSync/GSync.
In the only games that really matter with 144 frames (imo) - you can attain the high frames needed with things like the 1070, RX 480 or Fury X one way or another. It's not like you'll need a 1080 Ti to get 144 frames at 1440p on Overwatch, CS:GO, League, etc.
I won't deny FreeSync/GSync are useful, but in my opinion it's more useful in games and resolutions where your card simply can't hit desirable frame rates such as 60 or 144. I once bought a 4K FreeSync monitor where my RX480 was clearly not going to get me 144 frames in any game but I bought it anyways since it was my first AMD card. Getting into FreeSync range at 4K and 1440p was a dream. While my frames were lower than the 60-75 I'd get at 1080p, the game just felt so weirdly smooth thanks to FreeSync.
So don't sweat it that you can't use FreeSync if you play competitive games since your 1070 will have you at, around or above 144 frames. Likewise, a 1070 is good enough to get you great frame rates in other single player games like The Witcher 3.
Personally, I think this is a better deal. $100 cheaper.

At 34 inch for 1080p ultrawide, that DPI isn't good. I would recommend 34 inch 1440p ultrawide, but those are exorbitantly expensive.
I would save $100 and go with 29 inch 1080p ultrawide.
I use an i5 4gb Pro 4 as a desktop when I'm at home. Works sweet, any resizing glitches after plugging in can be solved by logging in and out. I've grabbed a wireless logitech keyboard and mouse, a USB hub thing which cost a couple of dollars online, and this monitor, which is fantastic for the price.
Edit: am also student, and this thing kicks ass for that. It'll literally change how you use a computer.
I personally want this frameless monitor.

Oh man I guess amazon is selling bad goods from reputable known brands then.
AOC, 1080p, 24 inches, 144hz for a completely wallet breaking €202 Oh, and while being the cheapest monitor on amazon.de, it also includes freesync.
Or this even less popular brand, Asus, 144hz, 24 inches, for a unreal €225.
Or this even worse, not at all esports ready (nor used in real tournaments cause that'd be crazy for such a stolen good!) Benq 144hz 1080p esports monitor for such terrible pricing of €240!
And as I said for good ones, you have the highly regarded Dell gsync 1440p 144hz monitors running $500 off sale, and just put up on sale for black friday at $350 (in the ad.) The freesync variant runs $400 off sale.
Not €1000.

What's not to believe? You can look up independent testing on various monitors. 1-3ms response time
monitors have been widely available for quite some time and used for just about every other competitive game that's not melee or smash 64, the melee community has been extremely slow to adopt because of price, misinformation, and the misconception that all non CRT monitors are terrible. Truth is there's plenty of laggy CRT monitors out there.
CRT are so prevalent because they're cheap as hell so getting together a few hundred is no problem, whereas 200 high end monitors would run you about $40,000, which is pretty impossible for a grass roots community. Not to mention there's zero risk of someone stealing your old heavy CRT, and a potentially high risk of your nice new ASUS monitor being stolen, or broken, if it is tipped over, dropped, etc .
There's quite a few monitors out there that are perfect for melee BenQ is just the name that's most common.
Here's one in a good price range
Higher quality than the previous, more expensive though

I do and I would recommend getting one. I use a benq zowie 1 ms refresh rate 1080p 60hz 24inch e gaming monitor and it is amazing. I trying playing on my 42 inch tv this weekend and dayz was too dark even after I adjusted the picture settings. I can see so much more on my benq monitor. Now I play sitting a desk so the 24 inch is the perfect size for sitting so close to the monitor. I would like a 27 inch but that’s just me wanting what I don’t have. The 24 inch works great. I also bought a riser platform for my monitor since the model I bought doesn’t have adjustable height

I believe the Samsung CFG70 should suit your requirements. It retails for around 300 i think, but I saw refurbished models here for around $230
I really fell in love with this one: Link
Great price and 1440p/144Hz and a awesome freesync range from 30-144Hz
This or the [Alienware AW3418DW] (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0777RY75V)
I found someone selling the Alienware for $500 locally. So I'm on the fence currently.
Same price on amazon: https://www.amazon.com/GN27DB-27-Inch-Monitor-FreeSync-GamePlus/dp/B078P57ZWL/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?keywords=voitek&qid=1574890445&sr=8-1
I have the Viotek GN27DB arriving tomorrow. Can't wait to fire it up and see how much better it is than my AOC E2752VH
they basically all use a samsung va panel, yeah, but the binning is extremely important and shouldn’t be overlooked. unless you can somehow confirm that the monitor doesn’t have any dead pixels or whatever before shipping, it’ll always be a risk. also, I’d honestly just go for something like a Dell S2716DG and catch it on sale. it’s a TN panel, but arguably the best TN panel on the market rn. comes with gsync as well, which is a premium commodity to say the least. got mine for $350 refurbished at best buy when it was on sale, no dead pixels or anything.

Wouldn't this one be better? https://www.amazon.com/Acer-SB220Q-Ultra-Thin-Frame-Monitor/dp/B07CVL2D2S/
This would probably be your best bet. Keep in mind, you'll need headphones because it doesn't have speakers.

With the 25 dollar savings per id probably get 3 of these instead. Should I do it?
Just saw a Dell 27 inch that looks promising, at a price of 150. Seems as though some color settings will need to be adjusted, nonetheless a solid buy I assume.

As was mentioned, you won't find one under £150. Some recommended entry level 144Hz monitors would be:
BenQ Zowie XL2411
ASUS VG248QE
AOC G2460PF
The AOC is the one I have, mainly because it was the cheapest of the three at the time. Have no issues with it, Freesync is nice for the price, although I can't make use of it.
Another note, you can get the same price and the promotion on Amazon UK as well - https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00B19T7QC/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_9t9XBbG648M7Q
I would think that the LG 34UC88-B which has been coming down in price lately would be a good mix between style, gaming, and general media consumption. I owned one for about 6 months and always got compliments on it when friends and guests came over.
It can be overclocked to 75hz and if you get a newer RX 470/480 video card you will be able to utilize the Freesync technology quite well with it. I drank the team green kool-aid so I ended up trading out for the ASUS PG348Q monitor for Christmas. It can be found for the mid-to-high $600's if you're patient. They're currently $799 on Amazon or BHPhotoVideo(tax free outside NY).
Other popular choices in this range would be:
The post from yesterday was for the same model, although if I recall correctly, the coupon was only valid for a few models of displays and the U3415W was not one of them. So currently, this is a good deal compared to the price on Dell's web site.
And for those that prefer Amazon, they currently have the same model for $757.88.
I also use one of these at work, it is a Dell U3415W.
You're not going to get 144hz Ultrawide for ~$300. Or rather, if you do, please let me know. The only ones I know of are the the Acer Z35 and the BenQ XR3501, both running near $1000 after tax.
If you will be connecting via DisplayPort and can deal with 75hz and 2560x1080, here are two decent options right at the $300 mark:
I'm in the exact same boat as you, I was researching it for a while and I pulled the trigger on this one
https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00IKDFL4O/ref=ox_sc_saved_image_1?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER
It was the best bang for my buck I could find, and I've absolutely loved it. The tv I was using had the absolute worst input lag and I've been shocked at not only how well MLB plays on the new monitor, but other games too. Complete game changer for almost any game you play
This Would for the most portable monitor possible.
This would be for a really good monitor that's still small enough to move easily.
If those are too small I can recommend some smaller TV's that might work.
One option is the new 21:9 aspect ratio monitors that are popping up. They're so wide it is almost like having 2 monitors next to each other with the benefit of having no bezel down the center of the display.
For example, Dell just released a curved 34" 21:9 IPS monitor that has a resolution of 3440x1440. That's the same vertical resolution as your thunderbolt display, more vertical space than 24" 1080p monitors will give you (1080 vs 1440), and almost the the as much horizontal resolution of 2 1080p monitors (3840 vs 3440 for this). Total, it has more pixels than 2 1080p displays. Also, with Dell's adjustable stand, you can get it lower than your thunderbolt display (16.09" vs 19.35").
Amazon currently has it for $990, so it's considerably more money than the $600 you're looking to spend, but it may be worth considering if you really care about symmetry and don't want to lose the vertical space of going from your 1440p thunderbolt display to 2 1080p 24"ers.
Thanks!
Center is an Acer Predator Z35P 35" 1440p Ultrawide. (The new addition. Just replaced a Samsung U28E590D)

Buying a new monitor is such a headache. Just built a i7-7700 + GTX 1080, and I can't decide between [AOC AG241QX] (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01NCTHS6E/ref=psdc_1292115011_t5_B01IOO4SGK) and [ASUS Designo MX25AQ] (https://www.amazon.com/Designo-MX25AQ-2560x1440-Frameless-Monitor/dp/B01707HMEM/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_product_top?ie=UTF8).
AOC is 144hz, but it's also TN and I hate the way it looks. On the other hand, ASUS is only 60hz, but it's IPS and sleek (no bezel is best bezel).
Gahhh.
Ye I bought also 144hz and wqhd(1440p) for cheap prize, when I look now at my second monitor with 1080p I can't believe how big is difference between 1080p and 1440p and + 144 Hz <3 I think it's the cheapest and best monitor with this prize with 144hz and 2k: https://www.amazon.com/AOC-AG241QX-2560x1440-Adjustable-DisplayPort/dp/B01NCTHS6E

Can anyone advise if this is a good buy with the giant discount right now? I’ve been hunting for a 34” ultrawide 1440p 21:9 144hz gsync. The problem with this one is that it’s only “120hz overclocked”, and I’m curious how big the difference between that and a full 144hz one would be? I’m planning to upgrade to a 2080 super next week when they release. The price here just seems fantastic for almost exactly what I’m after. Any thoughts?
Price went up for the main one but there are still "very good" warehouse models available for ~735 which seems close to the all time low for a refurb (723)

A few of the best options around that price! If you're willing to spend a bit more go for an Acer predator or the Benq Zowie.

The screen is 21.5" inches (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005BZNDOO/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o07_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1).
The trackball itself doesn't function that great (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B075JH3S54/ref=od_aui_detailpages02?ie=UTF8&psc=1). I could only get it to work with AdvMAME. The handful of trackball games are set to use this emulator. Also, I may or may not have mounted it upside down and not realized until later. Fortunately you can reverse the X/Y axis so it wasn't really an issue. I wish I would've used a higher quality trackball, but I'm not sure it would've fit in this cab.
Thanks for the kind words!
PC Part Picker page for the monitor
Newegg and it is showing the rebate card from both newegg and the manufacturer. Is it suppose to be showing the shipped price or the total possible rebates?
Amazon , is not showing the rebate card on there. But like you said they aren't giving you the API.
That's entirely up to you and what you value.
What sucks is that there are no 1440p ultrawide+ 144hz monitors.
Before you decide to get rid of your current monitor I'd recommend trying out a 144Hz monitor at Frys, Microcenter, or somewhere, make sure it's set up properly and see how important that improved responsiveness and smoothness is for you.
If you really enjoy the ultrawide aspect ratio, have an AMD GPU or don't care about adaptive-sync, and can afford a pricey purchase then I'd absolutely recommend the Samsung C34F791 VA 1440p 100Hz ultrawide at just under $1k USD.
A similar IPS monitor with G-sync instead is this ASUS ROG PG348Q at $1,100.
There are plenty of TN and IPS 16:9 1440p 144Hz+ monitors for you to choose from if you don't care about the aspect ratio as much.
You could also just run two monitors if you want.
Hope that helped. Thanks for the question.
Acer and Asus make the only ones i'm aware of.
both are wallet-bleedingly expensive

EDIT: They're 100hz, not 144hz
My mistake.
You'd have to go lower than 3440x1440 to get over 100hz.
I had a 29" 2560x1080 display and any bigger has very poor pixel density. A 34" 2560x1080 would be, at least to my eyes, very unpleasant to look at.
160-180 is closer to 200 than 100, but I didn't even get to cover ultrawides, that's where it really goes up.
wqhd ultrawide g-sync
wqhd ultrawide freesync
Top 5 g-sync monitors on Newegg are $1000 vs $520-800 freesync monitors. The best selling ultrawide on Amazon is the $1000 ASUS ROG Swift PG348Q G-sync. Best selling freesync ultrawide is the $700 ASUS Designo MX34VQ.
General price difference (in the U.S.) isn't $100. It's $150 for FHD, $150-300 for WQHD, $200-500 for UWQHD. The rising cost premium is due to G-Sync largely being available only on premium gaming brands that seek higher margins on higher cost panels.
Prolly this!
This one.

Amazon has it for the same price
Just picked up a Samsung CFG70 for ~$180 after tax with this deal.
If I find a better offer on a g-sync next week I'll trade in but otherwise very pleased!
This is what I have and I would buy it again without hesitation.

Its not really 120hz. The TV only accepts an input of 60hz. The actual TV will refresh at 120 times a second but 60 of those frames will just be your tv trying to fill in the blanks. If you want a true 120hz experience you'll need to spend some serious money on a proper pc monitor such as the one below.

Box says 2K:
[VIOTEK GN27DB 27-Inch Curved Gaming Monitor, 1440p 144Hz Samsung VA Panel, FreeSync GamePlus FPS/RTS - VESA (Black)] (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B078P57ZWL/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_WWILDbMMPJCDQ)
It's not just on new egg.
PLEASE DO NOT BUY THAT MONITOR WITH THAT PREBUILT.
That monitor is G-Sync, and much more expensive than a comparable one without G-Sync. AMD cards do not support G-Sync.
AMD cards support something very similar called freesync, which is basically the same thing but it's cheaper for a monitor maker to put into their monitors.
If you are wanting a similar experience, look at a monitor similar to this one: https://www.amazon.com/GN27D-Computer-Monitor-Freesync-Optimized/dp/B078P57ZWL/ref=sr_1_8?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1522499064&amp;sr=8-8&amp;keywords=1440p+144hz+freesync
If you want something with much much better colours and such, look at this: https://www.amazon.com/MG279Q-27-Inch-FreeSync-Gaming-Monitor/dp/B00ZOO348C/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1522499049&amp;sr=8-1&amp;keywords=mg279q&amp;dpID=51V6VuWx%252B-L&amp;preST=_SX300_QL70_&amp;dpSrc=srch
If your budget isn't super tight, I'd go for the second monitor that I linked (if you were wanting to go for your original prebuilt).
The RX 580 is slightly faster than the 1060 in the HP system that others are recommending, however not a huge difference between them. The CyberPowerPC one is likely to be a bit better cooled (and looks better IMO) and you do have the advantage of probably better support with a Tier 1 manufacturer like HP. The HP also has an NVidia card, so you'd want a G-Sync monitor like the dell you linked if you wanted to go for that one.
NVidia's probably going to release their graphics cards in a few months, but playing the waiting game is painful, so I completely understand either way. Something else to consider is that NVidia normally releases their 80 and 70 before anything else, and the 60 and 50 come a couple months later, so it might be an even longer wait for the range you're looking at.
Most of the monitors here are free sync and I would say have good implementations however I will include a Gsync category.
&#x200B;
I would not recommend 4k for the 2080. It would be able to run games around 60 fps at 4k however refresh rate will make things more enjoyable. Also, 4k high refresh rate monitors are currently very expensive.
&#x200B;
Good value companies to look at:

Pixio (Did not list since availability issues but worth looking at)

TL;DR of VA vs IPS
IPS has slightly better viewing angles than VA.
IPS has slightly better colors VA.
IPS has better response time than VA.
However, VA does not have defects like IPS glow and much better contrast, so much better blacks and such.
&#x200B;
TL;DR of TN vs IPS
IPS has much better viewing angles than TN. TN will color shift if looked at straight on.
IPS has much better colors than TN.
TN has the best response rate.
TN is basically worse in every way than VA and IPS except for response time.

r/buildapcsales is your friend, also don't order monitors from newegg due to their atrocious dead pixel policy. Amazon has a much better policy.
$140 - ViewSonic VX2458-MHD, 1080p 144hz, 24 inches, MVA: It's freesync, g-sync compatible on 10xx and up but you need a displayport cable. Some concerning reviews.
$180 - Dell D2719HGF, 1080p 144hz, 27 inches, TN: Also freesync and g-sync compatible (seems a dp cable equal to or under 6 feet is best). For $189 it comes with the 6 ft dp cable. Some would have you believe that TN is garbage or that 27 inch 1080p is bad, I say not really. Unless you do photo work or really into color accuracy, TN looks fine. Also the viewing angles are good enough for 4 people sitting in a row. The 27 inch part can be solved just by moving the monitor backwards.
$280 - ASUS VG279Q, 1080p, 144hz, 27 inches, IPS: The only 1080p 144hz I could find with "muh IPS panel", freesync and g-sync compatible with dp. This price is garbage for a 1080p 144hz monitor, you can get a 1440p 144hz monitor for cheaper. As typical with IPS monitors, has quality control problems - if you care at all about dead pixels, expect to send it back to Amazon for a replacement several times. The only reason why you would want a monitor like this one is if you really need IPS but don't have the GPU for 1440p.
The first two options are good prices. If you have the budget for it, you might consider 1440p 144hz; good TN options at around $300 these days (I got mine for $250 a week ago), and IPS options around $400.
I went with this: VIOTEK GN27DB 27-Inch Curved Gaming Monitor, 1440p 144Hz Samsung VA Panel, FreeSync GamePlus FPS/RTS – VESA (Black) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B078P57ZWL/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_zOjZCbFJ9KQN9
TN panels should not get burn-in any more. I'd immediately return it. Buy a different brand too, if possible. There are many good Freesync QHD panels out there.
Food for thought: Personally I'd just add in the extra $70 and get a 27" VA panel. The VIOTEK GN27D seems pretty legit. It matches & exceeds your current specs. I don't know it and haven't read any reviews on it, though, but it looks great on paper.
Thanks for the response! Much appreciated. Any thoughts on how it might compare to https://www.amazon.com/d/Monitors/27-Inch-Monitor-Samsung-FreeSync-GamePlus/B078P57ZWL/ref=sr_1_19?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1543191479&amp;sr=8-19&amp;keywords=freesync+monitor+144hz ?
Are MSI, Acer, ASUS, Samsung and ViewSonic typically considred better buys than companies like Pixio, Nixeus, Visiontek etc...? just curious and asking questions ha ha
I would honestly say just get a VA pannel its a pretty good mix. Its got better colors than a TN but not quite as good as a IPS. They go to 144hz so they aren't as good for super high end esports stuff where some people want 240 hz but honestly literally 99.99% will never notice the difference. If you like curved and are looking for 1440p I would look at this https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B078P57ZWL/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1 27 inch 1440p 144hz. It's cheaper than ASUS or ACER but buy through amazon or something just in case. I have one as my main display and it works great the panel itself is a samsung.

I have it and really like it, I’ll planning on getting another. https://www.amazon.com/Dell-D2719HGF-Response-Speakers-FreeSync/dp/B07J4SXNQ5/ref=asc_df_B07J4SXNQ5/?tag=hyprod-20&amp;linkCode=df0&amp;hvadid=309776868400&amp;hvpos=1o1&amp;hvnetw=g&amp;hvrand=5832486445554878638&amp;hvpone=&amp;hvptwo=&amp;hvqmt=&amp;hvdev=m&amp;hvdvcmdl=&amp;hvlocint=&amp;hvlocphy=9016077&amp;hvtargid=pla-581873525456&amp;psc=1

Not quite what you're looking for but close
He meant the D2719HGF which is a 1080p 27" 144hz TN Freesync monitor: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07J4SXNQ5/
I don't know if this is available where you're at, but I picked one up and have never been happier.
I did find these.

A bit of a budget setup, but I am finally extremely happy with it. PC running R7 370 and 1090T. Still handles most games fine on med-high, but hopefully upgrading in about a year.
After the picture was taken I moved the mount about 8 inches to the left. There is a bracket in the middle of my desk that prevents it from being perfectly centered. Any suggestions for what to do next? Mouse upgrade is probably most practical - I've been using a $20 'gaming' mouse for about a year.
Monitor - Found out after I got it that if you keep an eye out it occasionally drops to just over $200.

I absolutely love it
Well, you have a few options. Depending on your price range, you can go with 2560x1080 which come in 25" (don't bother), 29" (sweet spot for ppi, same as 24"/25" 16:9 monitors), 34", or 35" (specifically the z35 for g-sync or xz35 for freesync). Benefit of 2560x1080 is being able to generally saturate the max refresh rate of your monitor, given the gpu you have and are going to buy. Only downside I can think of is with making such a long-term purchase as a monitor, you're "only" getting 1080p, but I don't really see that as an issue as others might. Also, most of these monitors only go up to 75hz, only the very high end cards reach any higher, and those are usually either g-sync for the acer x34 which goes to 100hz @ 1440p or the acer (x)z35 which goes to I think 144hz @ 1080p.
There are also 3440x1440 monitors and those usually only come in 34". I can't think of any other sizes, someone correct me if I'm wrong.
Also, do you want curved or not? I don't have an ultrawide but I've been researching them for a couple years now and I think it comes down to the size of the monitor. I think 25" and 29" ultrawides are fine for being flat, since they're only so wide but once you get into 34" territory, it would be such a large screen that it is beneficial to have the curve, which is pretty much what the market really offers: no curved 25" or 29" and most, if not all, 34" are curved. The curve helps keep the same distance from each edge of the screen to your eyes the same. These do come at a higher price, though.
Prices for each respective size
34" Now there are many options in the 34" class ranging anywhere from ~$700 all the way up to $1300.
Hopefully that list that I've compiled for you helps you and others out on finding what type of monitor you want, what works for you, and your price range. I could go on about the ppi of the monitors and all the little details, but I feel like this post has pretty much most of the important details listed out. Feel free to ask me anything about anything here. And I apologize if I left any monitors out. I chose these all based on my own personal thought of each monitor being the best at its price point.
If you want pure Budget, https://www.amazon.com/LG-25UM58-P-25-Inch-21-UltraWide/dp/B01BV1XB2K
Its often 170$ or less.
I just got one for 165$
its 2560x1080 75hz overclockable, and it's 25inches.

The one they linked is even an IPS monitor, not a VA monitor. The one they used was $1100, the one they linked was a cheaper alternative I guess...
I think I'm starting to hate AMD for this shady bullshit.
Absolutely. IMO this is way better than a 4k display since having an ultrawide aspect ratio and getting a way wider field of view in games (and also more screen space to work with) is hugely more noticeable than just having everything be a bit sharper. Also it goes to 100hz which is way better than 60 that 4k monitors run at. Keep in mind though, these high end ultrawides are using bleeding edge tech so there can be some quality control issues. Most common with the X34 is backlight bleed in the corners (really only noticeable on a black background) and inability to hold 100hz without flickering. It's been out long enough that as long as your monitor was manufactured recently it shouldn't be an issue. Just keep it in mind in case you have to exchange it. All of the monitors with similar specs have their own QC issues that shouldn't be a good deal as long as you don't get a shit sample.
Other similar monitors are the:
asus pg348q - identical panel, just different casing, stand, and OSD. Basically just choose the cheaper one since they're so similar.
hp omen x35 - it's a bit bigger than the asus and acer, has a steeper curve, and doesn't have the backlight bleed issues, but the panel is VA so the colors aren't as vibrant, and there's issues reported with flickering at 100hz, and image ghosting. I've seen a few people say they preferred the x34 to the omen, but this may depend on which pros and cons you weight more heavily.
AOC Agon AG352UCG - Identical panel to the omen, with all the same pros and cons. This monitor is to the omen what the x34 is to the pg348q. This one seems to be cheaper than all the other 3 (unavailable on amazon for the moment but I saw them on sale a few days ago), so for a budget option it's excellent. It basically makes the omen irrelevant since it doesn't justify the extra cost.
There's also the Acer x34p which is the next generation x34. It has a few nice improvements like a steeper curve, better OSD controls, no more glossy plastic surface, and a native 100hz (rather than an OC 100hz). Hopefully better QC as well. They've delayed it like 4 times and there's still no solid release date, but maybe by the time you've saved up it will be released?
Here is a nice review of the x34 to watch in the mean time. It literally delivers every spec I've been looking for in a monitor. I've seen some pretty nice sales on it, especially on refurb models so just keep your eyes open. Join us at /r/ultrawidemasterrace :) this monitor is a favorite over there so you'll see a lot of people talking about it, and just how great playing games in 21:9 is in general. To add a little more weight to my recommendation, gabe newell and terry crews are both using x34's (terry has 2 of them lol).

Still, it's 1,099 without taxes :/
Lets back up the train here. The best gaming monitors around have 10ms of display/input lag. A VERY COMMON misconception is people confuse the advertised response time with display lag. Response time has absolutely NOTHING to do with input lag. But having a very low response time is nice to have, to help prevent ghosting images. Can't really go wrong with the BenQ Zowie brand of monitors, as they are designed to
This is the basic model that any fighting game player will be fine using, as it is the standard:
https://www.amazon.com/BenQ-ZOWIE-inch-Gaming-Monitor/dp/B01H5KKRLO
The step up model, and preferred model if you want h2h (Head to head, 2 monitor setup), you want this:
https://www.amazon.com/BenQ-ZOWIE-Gaming-Monitor-Head/dp/B01H5KKRLY/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1509721163&amp;sr=8-1&amp;keywords=rl2460
This monitor has an HDMI out port, so you can easily connect two monitors for H2H setup, without the need of an HDMI signal splitter(which some can add lag if you do not do proper research). If you buy the cheaper, first option, you would need the HDMI splitter to make a H2H setup. Cost wise, it's better to go with the 2nd option. They are the exact same monitor, only difference is pretty much that HDMI out port, Which is really useful.
High refresh monitors are not necessary for fighters as they are all locked at 60fps.
this monitor is better
Either of these are good I have had the 2nd one for two years now still works great BenQ Zowie 24 inch Full HD Gaming Monitor - 1080p 1ms Response Time for Competitive Esports Gaming, Dual HDMI, DVI-D, D-Sub (RL2455) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01H5KKRLO/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_3PSNBb094HMF2 BenQ GL2460HM 24 Inch 1080p LED Gaming Monitor, 2ms, HDMI, DVI, Built-In Speakers, Eye Care Technology, Low Blue Light, ZeroFlicker, Energy Star Certified Monitor, VESA mountable https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00IKDFL4O/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_4QSNBb9XW6073
What size do you want? I would get one that is 144hz with a 1ms response time. I think it's worth it to go a little smaller if it's response time is extremely low, especially for this game. Mine is a 32" curved I got for 399, but it has a 4ms response time.
This is a decent one with really good response time (1ms) for 169$ (24") the 27" version is 249$

If price is not much of a concern, then bigger is better. Just make sure its 144hz with a 1ms response time. You can get this amazing 32" curved for the low low price of 691$!

I was playing on a 32" TV for the last year and a half or so. I got myself a monitor for my birthday a few months ago and it made a WORLD of difference. Clearer, sharper picture, greatly reduced input lag. I got a BENQ gaming monitor off of amazon that cost me around $200 I think? Give me a second and I'll try to find the link.
Edit: this one. It's amazing, portable, and fits nicely on a desk or wherever you choose to game. I highly recommend.

Hi I found one that just slips in our price range and is a bit smaller than you asked for, it's a great monitor for gaming and has no input lag and 1ms response time

Edited so I found one that is under your budget now and since it's console gaming you only need 60hz so here is a cheaper benq one https://www.amazon.ca/gp/aw/d/B01H5KKRLO/ref=mp_s_a_1_2?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1501024086&amp;sr=8-2&amp;pi=AC_SX236_SY340_QL65&amp;keywords=benq+monitor&amp;dpPl=1&amp;dpID=51IuvcXFC4L&amp;ref=plSrch
I just bought this AOC 1440p 144 hz monitor and I absolutely love it, and at this price you really can't beat it. The only downside I have is it's only a TN panel but that doesn't bother me much. It's also just a 24 inch but that's more than enough for my tiny desk.
AOC Agon AG241QX 24" Gaming Monitor, QHD 2560x1440, G-Sync Compatible + Adaptive-Sync, 144Hz, 1ms, DisplayPort/HDMI/DVI-D/VGA, Quickswitch Keypad, VESA https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01NCTHS6E/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_lHsBDbFFJ5A82
I think a RX 5700 would be better, cuz future proofing firstly and lastly, you can't really play in 240hz with your RX570.
In future you can buy a 240 hz monitor tho. Or even better, a 144hz 1440p monitor like this: Ramdom nice monitor
Ok, what's your budget to begin with?
And what's the main purpose of the monitor? (Gaming, art, design, etc..)
I recently bought a Dell S2716DG/R for my gaming rig and was pleasantly surprised with the picture quality. (Upgraded from a 1080p 32" TV monitor.)
Specs of the Dell
-27" screen
-2560 x 1440 at 144hz (DisplayPort)
-G-Sync
-1ms Response
-TN panel (I know you're looking for an IPS)
-Color Gamut (typical): 82% (CIE1976), 72% (CIE 1931) Color depth: 16.7 Million colors
-DisplayPort and HDMI
-2 USB 3.0 ports
Price: Bought it on 08/26/2017 at $449 (Best Buy) (Wait for the price drop, maybe you can get it for lower.)
Now, there's a 24" version that I've seen go down to $380 at Amazon. Dell 2417DG
If you can try to see the monitor in operation before buying, go check it out. But, it's been an amazing Switch for me and the colors have been way better than my original screen.
^ This is my pick.
Another monitor to consider
AOC Agon AG271QX
I've looked into this and was going to get it, until I found the Dell on sale... pretty good reviews. (Look outside of Amazon reviews, those are mixed with other products)
24" ver. of the AOC
Here. This monitor costs $340
AOC AG241QX Agon 24" Gaming Monitor, 2560x1440 Res, 144hz, 1ms, 50M:1DCR, VGA, DVI, 2 HDMI, DP, USB https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01NCTHS6E/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_re-MzbD0EM5KQ
This is the only one. You linked the 27" version of the monitor, by the way.
> https://www.amazon.com/AOC-AG241QX-2560x1440-Adjustable-DisplayPort/dp/B01NCTHS6E
A 980ti is basically the same in terms of performance as a 1070 which is no slouch. You should be completely fine with a 980ti
If you're not too picky with color / panel type, the AOC AG241QX is on sale for $200 right now on Amazon. I had it for a short amount of time before deciding to spend the extra $100 on a Dell S2719DGF but it was a nice monitor for competitive FPS gaming, and if I had to go back to it I wouldn't be upset. Quality is crisp, I didn't see any dead pixels.
EDIT: Forgot to note that the monitor is 24", so if you're setting the monitor pretty far from your face it'll be worth waiting for a sale on a 27" 1440p144
You should think about your monitor as a long-term investment that you can keep for multiple GPU/whole-rig upgrades without the monitor starting to become a major limiting factor.
So, with that in mind, I think that investing in a 1440p/144Hz monitor is actually a good idea, so long as you get a good variable refresh rate display, like the Agon AG241QX, which has a 30-144Hz sync range and low frame rate compensation.
Take a look at this review and you'll see that the 1660 ti is more than capable of getting 50+ fps in all but the most demanding titles, and even in the most demanding titles you'll still be covered by the sync range of the monitor (and of course you can turn down settings if you need a higher frame rate).
The point is, there's no point in buying a 1440p/60Hz monitor when you could buy a 1440p/144Hz variable refresh rate monitor, since the variable refresh rate will allow the monitor to act like a 1440p/60Hz monitor in games where you can't go way above 60 fps.
In other words, if you buy a 1440p/144Hz variable refresh rate monitor now, you'll get the same experience now (or honestly a better experience in less demanding games, since you'll be able to hit 100+ fps) as if you were buy a 1440p/60Hz monitor. But later, if you buy a better graphics card, you'll be able to take full advantage of the 144Hz. If you just go with a 60Hz monitor you'll end up needing to upgrade the monitor too and you'll end up spending more money in the long term.
So TL;DR, YES buy a 144Hz monitor, just make sure it's one that supports variable refresh rate.
This is my set up.
Spec is 2080+9900K
2080 is pretty much the same as 2070 super and I used to use 2600 so 3700x is absolute not a problem.
The new monitor is AOC Agon AG241QX 24' paired with a 1080p 22inch Asus I brought in 2017. I normally watch movie or video etc on second screen while playing Civilization 6 on the main. The only small problem I have is that the size/resolution different makes you must drag program starting from the center or else window recognize it as you want to put it in full screen. This is because the area you are dragging from 1440p doesn't exist in 1080p monitor.
&#x200B;
PS: 1440p and 27inch is usually a golden pair, but I personally think 27 is too large for me and 24inch is also much cheaper. DO NOT BUY 27inch 1080P, the pixel are so huge and terrible.

What’s your price range?
You can get the Alienware 1440p 120hz for $830 on Amazon. I own it and it’s a great monitor.
Gets you the higher resolution and splits the difference on refresh rate.

The vertical monitor is a Dell Gaming S2716DGR. It's a 27" 1440p TN panel monitor with G-Sync. It's a fantastic little monitor, but a lot of people do have issue with color banding on it, especially if you don't tweak the settings on it.
The curved ultrawide is an Alienware 1900R. For me it was a tossup between that and the Asus Predator ultrawide of the same style. I ended up chosing the Alienware due to less complaints over backlight bleed and the fact that it overclocks to 120hz. So far it's been a beautiful monitor and I've had zero issues with it.
The AW3418DW is $799 on Amazon. Went to the local Best Buy for a price match and they honored it.

Or this, but the ratio isn't as close to 3 monitors Dell Alienware 1900R 34.1", Curved Gaming Monitor LED-Lit, WQHD 3440 x 1440p Resolution, 4ms 120Hz Overclocked Refresh Rate, NVIDIA G-Sync, 21:9 Aspect Ratio, HDMI, Display Port, 4x USB 3.0, AW3418DW https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0777RY75V/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_xfG7Bb35YP7T5. 3 of them.

I know most people game at 1080p. But honestly, this isn't far off in price from the Viotek 1440p which I think is the better purchase overall: https://www.amazon.com/GN27DB-27-Inch-Monitor-FreeSync-GamePlus/dp/B078P57ZWL/ref=sr_1_3?keywords=viotek&amp;qid=1567801196&amp;s=electronics&amp;sr=1-3
Amazon homie. You should tell us what your definition of "cheap" is, but I got a 24" 2ms BenQ from Amazon for $160 flat a while ago. Not sure what the current price is since the CAD tanked.
I currently use a BenQ GL2760H 27-inch0= monitor, and may sell it to a friend soon. What's a good ultrawide monitor I can look for? I bought the BenQ for $170 and I'm hoping not to spend more than $250, $300 at the max.
I have 2 Dell U3415Ws that I use with my 5K iMac. They work perfectly great with it as well. I use them for audio editing, Photoshop, Lightroom, and the like.
Let me know if you have any questions about it.
So I bought this monitor today. MRSP is $1000, most carry it at $800-$900. I bought it for $670 including shipping from NCIX (it's now back up to $900 but the promo price is still available if you need a link that includes it). It was hella expensive, but I've been wanting one of these monitors for quite a while. I plan on using all that sexy horizontal screen real estate for a ton of productivity purposes. Three word docs side-by-side-by-side? No problem! Need Excel to make A-Z all visible at the same time? Can do! Wanna share SolidWorks or other CAD software with a spec sheet also on the screen? It's perfect for that!
I am a little apprehensive about a couple of things. For one, I could have gotten a curved monitor from Dell for $700. But I'm a bit apprehensive about how the curve with affect straight lines while working in CAD, as well as how backlight bleed would come through. A curved screen sounds super cool, but I don't think a flat screen will be a problem, even though the screen is so wide.
I at least appreciate the thunderbolt ports. It's not 3.0, just 2.0, but I don't even think that matters for me since my MacBook is a couple years old. Also, it has USB quick charge, which will be heavenly I'm sure. I'm excited. The $670 hurt, but I don't have any financial responsibilities to worry about outside of Netflix and Spotify, lol. So I can spend my money any way I please. I'm on pace to make $2800 more this summer, and my financial aid was bumpin, so yayyy go splurging!
But no, really, I'm done spending money for a while.
Ultrawides are still pretty pricey at the moment, but for your criteria I think that the LG 34UM95C is your best bet for the budget.
I will say that 75hz is awesome, freesync is incredible for gaming, and the curved-ness of the panel not only adds immersion but really lets me see everything easier (especially for Audacity). None of those features are needed though, the UM95C will do you fine.
At a slightly higher pricepoint, the curvier Dell Ultrasharp
How does this work for you?
I went with a fast/powerful/silent editing/gaming rig with triple 1440p displays.

Hey there, a couple answers:
I've been using Photoshop and Illustrator CC without any hitches for a few weeks now on my new Hackintosh. Didn't have to do anything special to get them to run at all, just logged into my CC account once the Hack was up and running and downloaded everything that was needed.
I have a GTX 950 and a U3415 (https://www.amazon.com/Dell-UltraSharp-34-Inch-LED-Lit-Monitor/dp/B00PXYRMPE) that work perfectly in my setup. I have the latest Nvidia drivers for it but that's a given, you're going to have to do that for your GPU no matter what monitor you select. I have it connected over a full-size DisplayLink cable and it pushes it at 60hz which is perfect and what I wanted. Your card is beefier than mine so I can't imagine any issues as long as you get the right drivers for it. BTW if you drive the monitor over HDMI it won't go faster than 30hz which is pretty annoying, you gotta get the DisplayLink cable for maximum throughput and refresh rate.
Obviously you chose to have some spinning hard drives for a reason, so take this advice with a grain of salt, but you could obviously save some money by ditching them and perhaps going with a larger SSD.
I recently wrote about my build here... doesn't get into the technical details much, but let me know if I can answer any more questions about it. I'm using it for iOS design & development so we probably have similar needs.
The Dell u3415w. It is 34" of 3440x1440 resolution which is perfect for productivity. If the price is a little steep for you fear not, it goes on sale occasionally or you can find a refurbished one in the neighborhood of $450-$600 when they show up. Not to mention the bezel on the Dell is ever so sleek.
Since you aren't doing demanding gaming then there is no need to spend hundreds more on the Acer x34 or LG panels with freesync/g-sync.
Seems like you've already had some clear answers but thought I'd chime in. I use a Dell U3415W along with a few monitors next to it (only use the Ultrawide for gaming).
If this rig is for a cockpit dedicated to simracing, go with 3 1080p monitors. If this is for general use, go with 1440p ultrawide.
This or the Dell U3415W?
That would be incorrect. It only fell to $629 once in October and averaged around $730 from Amazon in 2016. So it is a decent deal, especially considering there aren't many other 34in 1440p ultrawides in this price range.

I have the 2016 MacBook Pro nTB 13" base model (mouthful) and I just recently purchased a 28" Samsung UHD 4k monitor. I don't really know what to look for but to me it looks great and has zero issues. I can check some stuff if you'd like. I only commented because my model is the most basic you can get and I'm good to go!
https://www.amazon.com/Samsung-U28E590D-28-Inch-LED-Lit-Monitor/dp/B00YD3DBOC/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1470004545&amp;sr=8-1&amp;keywords=4k+freesync

Both are 4k free sync monitors 60hz $400 not $1k+
FreeSync is worth every penny it costs - from the flickering problem that is pervasive across brands and models, to the laughable 10-hz sync range on some panels, to the lack of LFC support on most of the models.
Shockingly, it does not cost money to slap a label on a box like AMD is doing. It does cost money to get quality hardware that supports a good user experience.
Its a Samsung 4k UHD monitor link
Are you looking for new or refurb? Refurb
&#x200B;
Does it have to be dual monitor setup or is a single ultrawide sufficient? Maybe34"?
&#x200B;
4k, 1440p, or 1080?
&#x200B;
&#x200B;
That's good to know. I was basing my opinion off of a few reddit posts and LinusTechTip's video on the LG 29''. He felt like it wasn't quite large enough.
I feel like if I can get an LG 29" (preferably this one) on sale at Black Friday or sooner, then that will make my decision.
Thanks for your comment, it helped a lot. I haven't talked to anyone who actually uses the card I have with the monitor (or a similar one) that I'm looking at.
I'm using this monitor, but there is a new version for practically the same price. When I bought it I felt I was being frivolous, but after I set up I instantly felt no remorse.
This guy goes on sale for $200 all the time, $310 for the 34": you can get either on ebay with a warranty.
https://www.amazon.com/LG-29UM68-P-29-Inch-21-UltraWide/dp/B01B9IDLAW/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1473184884&amp;sr=8-1&amp;keywords=lg+29+ips+freesync
If you do go 1080p, try to find a 2560x1080p Ultrawide, the 1070 does very well at that resolution, and you should be able to get very good framerates. Here is an 29" IPS LG monitor that is 2560x1080 and in your price range ($250). It looks like it can get up to 75hz as well, so that will be a nice extra over the normal 60hz monitors.
I've been using the lg 29UM68-P. It's cheaper than the one you have listed and it's an ips/freesync/75Hz/5ms response time. Just an option.
Well in that case, I can recommend this:

If you need any other options, just ask me.
My dream setup would be the 5k in the middle with an ultrawide next to it with my current 23in acer vertical and to the side for reading Since its matte.
Money is no issue widescreen
cheaper model.
And I would put them all on stands. Even the Imac if you can.
A computer monitor will always give you the lowest input latency. I recommend anything by Asus like this one. 2ms latency. LED backlit. 21-24 in screen is the perfect screen size for gaming at a table without taking too much space. It only has one HDMI so if you get a splitter, you can hook your PC up to it too.
ASUS VS24AH-P 24-Inch IPS LED-Lit Monitor and then this Asus VS248H-P 24" TN panel I bought a year before the IPS is my second monitor
edit: Can the Average Gamer See More than 60Hz??? NCIX Tech Tips. It's a very rudimentary way of testing it but it's one reason IPS is more beneficial unless you absolutely want smoothness over robust and vibrant colors
this one?

Both monitors you linked are TN panels. TN sacrifices color production and accuracy for refresh rate speed. Out of those two I'd buy the BenQ but here are some alternatives that may fit your web design background better.

What I would look for is an IPS display, and under 100 dollars. Here's a good list of displays that are under 100 you can look through.

I am by far no expert so take my advice with a grain of salt.
When you get into lower inches they tend to not have HDMI ports
so here's a 20 inch one and it's a really popular one
T430 owner here - upgraded everything. I'm a developer by trade but also do a ton of spreadsheet work - things like scalability projections, cost/benefit analysis, budgets, etc.
Personal opinion time: the 14in sometimes feels small for this. I have a couple of LARGE monitors at my desk and if I'm doing even moderate spreadsheet stuff I prefer to work on my numbers there. If you're planning on utilizing JUST the laptop screen I would suggest the T430 100%, however I would also suggest budgeting for a larger monitor for use back at a desk for serious work!
I would suggest the 8G RAM for either as it will run modern Windows better - even on Win7 I have noticed a huge difference going from 4G to 8G of ram. Also everyone will tell you SSD is a great idea - these laptops do VERY well with a couple of simple upgrades =D
You may be able to save yourself some cost by buying something that doesn't have the upgrades yet and doing the labor yourself if you're comfortable. There are an insane amount of articles, videos, etc. for cracking into these things if you're comfortable doing your own work.
One other thing - 10 key. I would suggest getting a nice keyboard with a number pad for home too. I don't know how much data-entry you'll be doing but I LOVE the ability to 10 key when I need to!
My overall suggestion:
PS: I also REALLY suggest the screen upgrade - it makes a HUGE difference and I found mine for around $40 USD. I feel that it was really worth it!
I have this:

My old super cheap solution that I passed down the little bro. Not very fancy but it gets the job done and he'll certainly upgrade to a 144hz later.
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005BZNDOO/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?ie=UTF8&amp;psc=1&amp;smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER
My monitor of choice. Excellent price point, great performance. No issues whatsoever with my 360, PS4 or One.
I have the Asus 23 inch LED IPS one and I love it.
Ive been using this and just ordered a second one. It looks great to me and have noticed no problems. The stand is pretty basic but works.

https://www.amazon.com/Philips-272G5DYEB-27-Inch-Ultimate-Performance/product-reviews/B00MUTW5LG
It's this monitor but refurbished.
Only has DisplayPort. 7% of the reviews are 1 star though with failed monitors in the first year, seems like cheaply made crap to me. It's also very old, like from 2014. Personally it's a bit clunky, old, seems cheaply made, etc...
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07J4SXNQ5/
This Dell model is similarly priced, reputable brand (their monitors are usually fine), newer model, and it's FreeSync. I hear some GSync compatibility has been done where many FreeSync monitors are now cross compatible, might look into that before you buy a new monitor.
You can never go Wrong with Benq.
https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B01H5KKRLO/ref=dp_ob_neva_mobile
You should go a little over your $250 price range and get the 27". That's what i play on.
Yes, i got this recently:
https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B01H5KKRLO/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&amp;psc=1
Would highly recommend it, its the screen all the pros use (or some of them Ninja, heinz ect)
changes the way the game plays and feels 100%.
its the cdn amazon as im in Toronto.
I have a 1060 as well and I use this BenQ model . Actually I have the older model that this model replaced (the new one is actually cheaper!) and I am going to get a new one to complete my dual monitor setup since I just got a new desk with room to support it.
I've been using this monitor for about 2-3 years and it has been absolutely outstanding. I'm a 1080P gamer with no intentions to go beyond that anytime soon and this monitor fits every need I have.
1ms reponse time. Zero screen tearing. No burn in from constant use. Great color expression. Easy on the eyes with long time usage. No reflections or glare. And a bunch of built-in options and features for enhancing gaming that I've never really used personally.
If you are looking for a good monitor for 1080p I recommend this one.
Asus VG245H 24 inchFull HD 1080p 1ms Dual HDMI Eye Care Console Gaming Monitor with FreeSync/Adaptive Sync, Black, 24-inch https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01JGYM5H6/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_e3b5CbXRAJ9FT
This is what I use.
A lot of asus ones do! link. this is the one I use with my Xbox one x. Xbox supports freesync 1 also
if your TV supports picture-in-picture, you don't need to spend anything.
however if you need to buy a second display, this ASUS 24" is good, and within your budget.

I personally think that UW is good for serious gaming, as it is an advantage if 21:9 is supported, and if 21:9 is unsupported it isn't a disadvantage.
To answer your question that monitor will suffice (and curved is GOOD) but I'd highly recommend any of these monitors.
It wasn't that hard to get them close enough for me, but someone more picky might go insane trying to get it perfect. I spent my insane points on getting it to line up perfectly instead lol.

Go for Ryzen if you're gonna do editing.
[Get this monitor, it has sRGB mode.]
(https://www.amazon.com/Samsung-24-Inch-Curved-Monitor-C24FG70/dp/B01M1DEEYP) I own a GN246HL, shit monitor for editing since the colour look washout, but aight for gaming. Don't save cost on PSU, a good one would go a long way.
If you are looking for a gaming monitor with similarities to this, I recommend waiting for a sale on [this Samsung monitor] (https://www.amazon.com/Samsung-24-Inch-Curved-Monitor-C24FG70/dp/B01M1DEEYP). I bought mine for about $150 refurbished back in October (including tax, shipping, and recycling fee) thanks to this subreddit. I can't comment much about the monitor you posted, but I can tell you that I agree with other people when they say a curved 24 inch isn't very noticeable, and isn't worth the extra cost, if any. 27 inch is when the curvature becomes more prominent, or so I've read.
I personally use this - Samsung CFG70 Series 24-Inch 1ms Curved Gaming Monitor (C24FG70) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01M1DEEYP/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_76bFAbX7SX725
It’s pretty damn nice for the price. It’s got Samsung’s quantum dot technology, Freesync for AMD GPU’s (I have a 580), 144hz, 1ms rt, it’s curved, etc.
There are cheaper options ($180-$220) that will work fine, but it’s up to you.
I have a Samsung (C24FG70) ( https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B01M1DEEYP/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_qgdzCb3CF4K2G
It apparently had this issue where it had purple lines but I don't have it. There's a newer version to. It doesn't really have ghosting issues from what I can see.
Don't buy it. The VG248q is a really old monitor with subpar colours and uses PWM dimming which causes eye strain and headaches for some people. There's much better alternatives such as this https://www.amazon.com/Samsung-24-Inch-Curved-Monitor-C24FG70/dp/B01M1DEEYP/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1493406160&amp;sr=8-1&amp;keywords=samsung+cfg70+series+24-inch+1ms+curved+gaming+monitor+c24fg70. It's the best 1080p 144hz monitor out there.
I've had my eye on this Samsung 1080p 144Hz monitor: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01M1DEEYP/?tag=pcpapi-20
Recommended by pcmonitors.info -- (full review): https://pcmonitors.info/reviews/samsung-c24fg70/
Freesync range is 70-144Hz and with support for AMD LFC for FPS below 70Hz.
Sorry but I'm not seeing much for thin bezel 144hz monitors. The only one I'm seeing is the Acer XG270HU- $349 at Newegg.
The Samsung CFG70 might look cool with its curved screen, but the bezel doesn't look particularly thin and it is at the top of your price range.
I really like the Samsung CFG70 24 in
you mean this one?
I would definitely go with 1440p for just gaming. I have a 4k monitor at work at a 1440p one for personal use. I can't really notice a difference with gaming between 1440p and 4k unless you put them side by side doing the same thing. I think 1440p would fit better into your budget and requires far less graphical power to drive. There is a massive difference between 4k and 1440p for viewing lots of text on the screen at once so you if you anything like that it might be worth it. I would also recommend that you take a look at IPS panels and adaptive refresh rate monitors (g-sync for nvidia). IPS is slightly slower (it won't matter unless you play very competitive games) and costs more. However, it will display more colors and will display them more accurately. G-sync allows your graphics card to dynamically set the refresh rate of your monitor which leads to a far better gaming experience, especially when your frame rate is below 120hz. My personal monitor has both of these technologies and they make a big difference.
The monitor you picked out has a 60hz refresh rate, that's fine for casual gaming but I recommend you pick out one with a higher refresh rate before you get one in 4k.

This one is 1440p, g-sync, 144hz, and TN. It's a little out of your budget but regularly goes on sale. My friend has one for cs-go and loves it.
https://www.amazon.com/AOC-AG241QX-2560x1440-Adjustable-DisplayPort/dp/B01NCTHS6E/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1519152011&amp;sr=8-1&amp;keywords=1440p+120hz
This is a 1440p, freesync (you'll need an amd gpu to take advantage of the adaptive refresh), 144hz, TN monitor. It's a little bit cheaper than the last one.
So, what's best? DVI or HDMI?
This is the screen I'll be using.
If you're only gaming at 60hz, I promise you won't notice the extra 4MS response time from an IPS panel, and it'll give you far better color reproduction, brightness, viewing angle, ect. They are also fairly cheap. I highly recommend AOC, and this monitor in particular is amazing value.

They were set up before my desk was. I'll be moving them soon.

Yeah, you're likely not gonna get 144hz on anything other than CS:GO on low settings or something.
Here are some better choices. Some are a bit older, like one or two years, but that's not really a problem.

I believe all of the monitors are 1080p, 60Hz.
[This one?] (http://www.amazon.com/dp/B009V8F700) I was actually going to buy that one. The bezel isn't as thin as they show in their pictures, but it's the physical bezel that mattered to me anyways.
It certainly looks the part! Welcome to the IPS master race.
Thanks. That's actually not as bad as I thought. Found this (similar aesthetic) while looking:

Just bought this and couldnt be happier.
Little bit on the pricey side (at least for myself) but so far everything is fantastic.
That would be a good setup if you really want 2 monitors.
Otherwise, if you could stretch your budget by a small margin you could get this 144hz beauty.
How does this monitor look for netplay? It has a 60hz refresh rate, will I be able to get it to mirror my consoles lag online?
Does anyone know if this monitor is a good one if I want a budget lagless monitor? I'll take any other suggestions as well.
I use this one and love it. I was going to get a second one but I have run out of room for it :(
No worries! I saw that and then saw the brand logo. I've never seen them before, are they pretty decent?
If you had to choose between these two, this one or this one, which would you go for?
Yeah, Lol. It's time to let go.
Back to monitor, If I needed a 1080p IPS 60hz 23" right now, I would definitely get https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008DWITHI/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o06_s00?ie=UTF8&amp;th=1.
Sure, it's an older style with pretty big bezel, but the sharpness and crystal clearness of that monitor is superb for the price.
You're better off buying an Asus monitor. I've heard the colors aren't impressive on benq. I have this one and the colors are great, and the response time is identical. http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B008DWITHI/ref=pd_aw_sbs_3/192-1103989-7928939?pi=SL500_SS115
PS4 slim and regular PS4 controller w/ zero modifications, zone hitting, strike zone, wedge, analog pitching.
Internet is just Charter and I get like 150 mbps down and like 10 mbps up.
Here is my monitor: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008DWITHI/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Any thoughts on this monitor? I have been waiting for this: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008DWITHI/ref=ox_sc_sfl_title_1?ie=UTF8&amp;psc=1&amp;smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER
To go on sale, but this deal looks pretty damn good. Any suggestions?
Yeah, this display is virtually identical, but is a higher quality IPS display that would provide better viewing angles. The laptop is a good buy.
Looking for a good monitor to pair with my i7 3770k and r9 280x. Kind of new to everything, so while I understand the basic differences I find myself lost in the amount of different brands and models.
I play mostly third-person games (Tomb Raider, Witcher, Mass Effect) and some light FPS (BF4, Titanfall, not very competitive) so I'm assuming IPS is the way to go over TN?
What hz and resolution would be good for my build?
What I'm looking for:
21-24"
Preferably under $260
But I'm flexible on both conditions given the right monitor.
Monitors I was looking at:
ASUS VS239H-P
ASUS VG248QE
The second one is more expensive, but has better refresh rate, response time, and contrast ratio, but has a TN panel instead of an IPS. Thoughts? Any others to consider?
Meh, the flash did the washing out in the pic. But I love the monitor! I have the Gsync kit in it and it's awesome! But yes, I watch movies and shows on the IPS monitors. The new one I got (left side) looks great!
I don't have the budget to upgrade to a 1080ti right now with the currently chosen monitor. This is the monitor I currently have, bought 4 years ago: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008DWITHI/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o08_s00?ie=UTF8&amp;psc=1
Should I stick with this for the 1080, or upgrade to the 1080ti now and buy a better monitor at a later date when I have the money? I was going to have dual monitors. Thanks!

I looked at these exact three screens when I wanted to buy a new monitor.
They are all probably similar quality screens, but the Dell has excellent features and and excellent stand for the price. The Asus is nice if you want to do any moving of the screen at all, this is not for you. The Acer is pretty sexy and a tad cheaper at Amazon. As is the Asus.
I have the Dell and it is beautiful. I recommend this one.
Wrong item. See http://camelcamelcamel.com/ASUS-VS239H-P-23-Inch-Full-HD-Monitor/product/B008DWITHI?active=price_amazon
so there's a few attributes that should contribute to your choice in monitor:
the average gaming monitor you'd see posted on the subreddit would be about 23-24", have a latency of ~5ms, and have an IPS panel, and refresh 60 times a second
here are a few examples of 1080p monitors
For only $80 more you can get this awesome ultra wide monitor which has a really nice resolution: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824160162&amp;cm_re=21%3a9-_-24-160-162-_-Product I guess it comes down to personal opinion, but the monitor is also slightly bigger.
Or for the same price you could get two of these: http://www.amazon.com/AOC-i2367Fh-23-Inch-Frameless-Monitor/dp/B009V8F700/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1404364142&amp;sr=1-1&amp;keywords=AOC+i2353Fh
I have the version prior to this monitor and it's really awesome. Very low price but worth the money
With 23" IPS panels as cheap as they are now, everyone should be buying them. If you like glossy coated panels, get the Acer - if you want a matte coated monitor instead, get one of the numerous other 23" IPS monitors with that, like this:
http://www.amazon.com/AOC-i2367Fh-23-Inch-Frameless-Monitor/dp/B009V8F700/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1408464639&amp;sr=8-1&amp;keywords=i2367fh
edit: linked the wrong monitor
I am gonna have my PC, Surface Book, and PS4 hooked to one monitor, and I want speakers until I get headsets. But, I think I just literally found the perfect monitor for what I need, the AOC i2367Fh.
It's a 23 inch 1080p display, it has a thin bezel, 5ms rt, two HDMI ports, a DVI port, a headphone and mic port, and it's only $130 on Amazon with free shipping on prime.
I have this similar one because I wanted one with speakers and I'm pretty happy with it. They are both 60hz.
For about $150 I would recommend the AOC i2367fh, It is the best monitor I have ever used, and unless a slight bit of wobble will throw you off (The stand could be better) it is amazing, and if the wobble does throw you off the monitor has feet on the bottom of the screen, so the stand is optional. But aside from the wobble, everything else is great, it has amazing color, and great response times, making it a great monitor even for gaming. Sorry for gushing, but here is the Amazon link:http://www.amazon.com/AOC-i2367Fh-23-Inch-Screen-Monitor/dp/B009V8F700

I also have a 28" ASUS VA display for my PS4 and it's meh, it has great colors and response times, the colors are almost neon they're so bright, and I have no regrets over picking a 28" over a 24", and the pixel density isn't noticeable on a 28". I would recommend a 27-28" for PS4 over a 24", a 24" is just too small for a PS4 and the pixel density doesn't warrant a display as small as a 24". unless you're gaming for MLG,Faze or Optic, get a 24", but otherwise get a 27-28".

r/buildapc will help you out homie. Make a post over there. :) Also the 144Hz moniter that /u/Melander86 is talking about is this one I believe, it's a great monitor for the price, currently my main monitor with it's 76Hz lil' brother as my second monitor. :)

Let me know if this link works: ASUS VG248QE
I have this monitor, and love it. Great for gaming and general Windows usage (144Hz is so smooth!)
This is the monitor that I use good quality and everything but incredibly expensive (I bought it for much cheaper since it was on sale at the time) so if you get it you might not be able to get a good headset.
My headset is a Logitech G430, although my knowledge on headsets and audio in general is limited so there might be better ones for cheaper.
ASUS VG248QE for £220.
24 inches, 1080p, 144Hz, 1ms response time, DVI + HDMI + DisplayPort input. It's been my main display for several months and I'm very happy with it.
Si vas a ir por un monitor caro, antes de pagar un 1440p normal, te conviene un 1080p freesync o gsync, 1ms 144hz como este [asus vg248qe] (https://www.amazon.co.uk/ASUS-VG248QE-Widescreen-Multimedia-80000000/dp/B00B19T7QC/ref=sr_1_3?s=computers&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1522705295&amp;sr=1-3&amp;keywords=asus+vg245h), comparando sale un toque mas pero es una marca de gaming y viene con cosas que hacen la diferencia
people say that it hurts their eyes.
there is also the ASUS VG248QE and the AOC G2460PF, and their colors are broken apperantly, i heard a lot of people say that you should go with the ViewSonic XG2401
You could always go a regular monitor and one 144Hz one?
If you're rig doesn't play at 144 fps though then it might not be worth it, unless you're planning on upgrading anytime soon?
The ASUS ASUS VG248QE is probably the best entry-level 144hz monitor.
For fps:
ASUS VG248QE 24
For graphics:
ASUS VG248QE
&#x200B;
So if you play fps I'd definitely choose first one. But if in future you are planning to play some other games (not fps but rpg) I would consider the second one. It is 60Hz but is 1440p.
144hz would be the best for you I think. Its a world of difference when playing shooters. If you go 1440p then your card would struggle with newer titles to even get 60 fps, but if you are already getting 200+ fps in the games you play then I think 144hz would be best.
This is the one I use. It needs some color calibration, but other than that, its definitely worth the money.
I've been having a look online and I've found this which seems good for the price and based on customer reviews - it also ticks all boxes on what I'm looking for... other than G-Sync.

The Asus VG248QE is a pretty good option.
Per i 60 fps va bene quel processore.
GPU
Molti avrebbero da ridire perchè i miei consigli sono un po' eccessivi, puoi farti un'idea andando a cercare benchmark su YT in modo da avere sotto visione i numeri. Non ho la sfera di cristallo, il tuo portafoglio, o la testa dei dev, per cui non so quanto una GPU che adesso garantisce 60fps in 1440p sia valida anche tra 2-3 anni (cosa da tenere in conto dato l'investimento imho).
Che monitor usare? Bella domanda. Non sono un esperto, te ne linko qualcuno, quelli più noti ed usati in pratica, ma non sono davvero la persona più adatta. Magari ti sa aiutare r/Monitors
Insomma, la scelta è varia e dipende da quanto vuoi spendere. Ho cercato di fare una panoramica rapida e chiara (spero).

I recently picked up this monitor: BenQ GL GL2460HM 24-Inch Screen LED-Lit Monitor https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00IKDFL4O/ref=cm_sw_r_udp_awd_kxp6tb0MJ1E1Q?ie=UTF8
60hz, 2ms response time, 1080p, 24 inches, literally everything you want. Not sure how much it'll cost on amazon.co.UK, but 150 dollars is about 90 pounds, according to google.
I have this one. Very good display, IIRC it was rated best budget display on a lot of PC review sites in 2014 or 2015.
Good color reproduction for a non-IPS, and excellent viewing angles.
I think I paid $150 for it, but it's cheaper now.
Depends on her major. Either way, portability is key.
Engineering benefits from decently powerful Windows machine, except computer/software engineering, which benefits from Mac. I have a pricey Dell XPS 15 which is highly powerful and quite nice.
Defer to her judgement for other majors. Personally I loved my Mac and found it to be *much* more convenient for most use around campus. WiFi connected faster, it went to sleep and woke up faster, it was super easy to drop files to my friends, etc. The one downside is Microsoft Powerpoint is worse on Mac. A MacBook Pro is probably better than a MacBook Air, but someone else can comment on that. Annoyingly, all Apple laptops have now gone all in on USB-C, which means she needs an adapter for ordinary USB ports. Pick up a USB C to USB 3.0 Hub (like this, which includes ethernet, VGA, HDMI, etc) and a dual mode USB C/3.0 flash drive for her. Finally, Apple gives decent education discounts (see here). You can use this discount at the Apple Store at the Mall of Louisiana. Most accessories are best purchased online, not in store. Apple Care is not a bad idea.
By the way, she gets free Microsoft Office through LSU. Don't buy software for her until she's sure it isn't in the software store (TigerWare)
Before she asks or a sales person suggests, she probably doesn't need an iPad or a new phone for college. If anything, consider getting her a second monitor for her room (they're cheap--like this) and can do double duty for streaming Netflix if she's in a dorm. They're nice when you need to multitask (have notes open while researching), or have your online textbook open on one screen while your homework is on the other, etc)

I'd wait to be on the lookout for monitors on newegg and amazon right on BF/CyberMonday though to possibly save a few more bucks!

this one is slightly faster, up to you really
Acer R240HY
It's pretty nice. 1/4 inch side bezels. Matte screen. 23.8" 1080p, IPS, 5ms. HDMI, DVI-D, and VGA (no DisplayPort but I use an adapter and it works fine). No built in speakers but there's a headphone/speaker port.
No Vesa mounts. I don't use monitor arms anyway but that could definitely be a deal breaker to some, especially since arms help a lot with lining up monitors but I had planned on just overlapping them anyway.
All in all it's not a bad monitor, but it's pretty basic. I bought it because I wanted a thin bezel for triple monitors and it does that really well. Really you're just paying for the thin bezels.
Previously I had the BenQ GL2460HM but sold it just because I wanted my monitors to match. That one is good as well, but it's TN panel. 2ms response time, had Vesa mounts, a matte screen, and speakers. The speakers weren't great, but they were good enough for regular use and if I wanted ultra gaming sound, I would use headphones anyway.
I don't regret my purchase but it definitely is situational.
Quick search found me this one on amazon, in your price range and 24".
Benq/Zowie are pretty much the way to go for gaming monitors in that price range, these days. Super low response time (most important thing for fighting games/most gaming in general), and great picture quality.
Here's a good site for comparing real world response rate results.
This is a link on that site showing the tested stats for the monitor I linked above. As you can see, it's rated "excellent."
See if you can find your TV on there and compare it to the monitors. You'll definitely see a marked improvement :)
Hope this helps.
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00IKDFL4O/?tag=pcpapi-20&amp;th=1
there's this
$130, 2ms response time, 24", 1080p, good reviews. seems solid
^(gosh dangit, now i wish i had gotten that instead of my current monitor... oh well)
edit: looks like it's out of stock. you can get it for $137 here
edit 2: also if you really want IPS you can look through this
http://www.amazon.com/BenQ-GL2460HM-24-Inch-LED-Lit-Monitor/dp/B00IKDFL4O it's a little out of your budget but it's the only one I can think of around that price range
The BenQ GL2460HM is probably a decent choice. To be fair, don't expect 4K or anything, but 1080p on medium/high settings is possible.
Also, this link will be in Canadian Dollar (CAD) so just convert it from there.
Good luck with the build! [BenQ Monitor] (https://www.amazon.ca/BenQ-24-inch-Monitor-HDMI-GL2460HM/dp/B00IKDFL4O) Cheers!

This seemed like great advice, so I dove down the rabbit hole and settled on a BenQ with low blue light and zero flicker, although only 1080p. We'll see how it goes, if he doesn't like it I end up with a much nicer second monitor and try something else out.
Thanks for the advice!

Ah well not sure what prices are like in the US but if you can get a monitor with low response time instead for the same amount It's definitely worth it.
e.g: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00IKDFL4O/ref=s9_acsd_al_bw_c_x_4
You can go cheaper, bigger, and better. I have an AOC monitor that's 27 inches and is really nice. You do have to do some tweaking cause the picture is bleh out of the box, also the speakers are garbage but I use my Logitech speakers for movies and my headset when I game.
Look for a better option.

( Also a great monitor. A little more money but it's better than the one you posted. BenQ is a great brand for monitors.)
$730 For this one without gysnc though. And also, if you have space and an extra HDMI 2.0, you can do a dual maybe triple monitor setup if you have more space and still have your oldy.
I'd go for the Dell U3415W
34", 3440x1440 widescreen resolution, curved, IPS, and most importantly incredibly accurate colours.
I've been eyeing the Dell U3415W and Dell U3417W for the same purpose. Some people say vertical space is more important though so you may want to consider that too.
Other option would be the Dell U3415W.
> U3415W ~$1230
This monitor is $700 at Amazon right now.
The 3417W has the same panel as the LG I believe, and is $819 on Amazon right now, $778 at Dell.com
Someone please feel free to correct me if I am wrong.
This is the one I bought.
There's also ridiculous shit like the Acer Predator that costs north of 1k USD new. My primary reason for getting Dell is that my other two monitors were also Dell and I like consistency.
For what it's worth, almost every Dell monitor uses that base stand. Even my ultrawide U3415W. So if you like how solid the stand is, you won't ever be disappointed by the Dell monitor stands.
Dell UltraSharp U3415W 34-Inch Curved LED-Lit Monitor https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00PXYRMPE/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_uAIzCbY5692PB This looks like it
Check out Windowed Borderless Gaming. It's a small utility that allows you to run any game in a "fake" borderless fullscreen window. I've been using it since I picked up Dell's awesome 34" ultrawide monitor and wanted a way to record in the regular 16:9 aspect ration, not the native 21:9. This has also been a lifesaver for the handful of games that haven't yet optimised for the ultrawide master race. This also lets you do exactly what you're looking to do in a multi-monitor setup.

Dell Ultrasharp I always hear great things about for productivity/editing/image quality.
It's Dell U3415W with Mount It! Monitor Arm.
Couple options for the 27 inch panel:
Asus MG279Q(IPS Freesync 4ms, 144hz, not as good as the PG, but it's cheaper, and works better with your AMD GPU thanks to freesync): http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824236466
This Acer(not too pretty imo but 144hz 1ms Freesync and cheap): http://www.amazon.com/Acer-XG270HU-omidpx-FREESYNC-Widescreen/dp/B00VRCLHYS/ref=sr_1_1?tag=amazon0606-20&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1430272001&amp;sr=8-1&amp;keywords=acer+xg270hu+omidpx
If you really want to save money, there is this Asus monitor(24 inches, 144hz, but TN, and only 1080p): http://www.amazon.com/Asus-VG248QE-24-Inch-LED-Lit-Monitor/dp/B00B2HH7G0/?tag=amazon0606-20
You'll have to look at these monitors for compatibility with Vesa mounts and stuff.
As far as Ultrawides go, that is a bit trickier, you might want to either stretch the budget, or cut into the $600 for the 144hz a bit to get both. I'll post suggestions anyway.
A Dell IPS 1440p ultrawide no freesync though afaik and rather expensive: http://www.amazon.com/Dell-UltraSharp-34-Inch-LED-Lit-Monitor/dp/B00PXYRMPE?tag=amazon0606-20
Crazy territory here, but this Acer has 75hz, 1440p, ips, freesync and a slick design, but its expensive as hell:
http://www.amazon.com/Acer-XR341CK-bmijpphz-34-inch-UltraWide/dp/B0111MRT90/ref=sr_1_15?tag=amazon0606-20&amp;s=electronics&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1436945804&amp;sr=1-15&amp;keywords=3440x1440
And a slightly cheaper but still pricey 1440p ips ultrawide from LG:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824025066&amp;cm_re=1440p_ultrawide-_-24-025-066-_-Product
Look through, find some you like that both fit into your $1200 overall budget, make sure they would fit on a mount, find a mount, and go.
Dell UltraSharp U3415W 34-Inch Curved LED-Lit Monitor https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00PXYRMPE/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_pGQOBb5JDXQJ3
By default it's 60hz but it can accept custom refresh rate up to 75 and 80
I have the Dell U3415W and a Zotac 1080 Amp Extreme. I can tell you why it is better to go with the 1080 and my experience with it.
First, the Dell U3415W is a fantastic value for the money. An ultrawide for around $650ish, 1440p resolution, great color representation, but the only limiting factor is the 60Hz refresh rate. Not a deal breaker in my opinion.
Now why go with the 1080? Because you might find yourself wanting to add another display or upgrade to a 4K display down the road, or simply because you can. They're not that expensive as they were when launched. I paid $720 for my Zotac GTX 1080 Amp! Extreme Edition from B&H Photo Video as they were out of stock everywhere. Now Amazon has the same card for $550! It's a pretty looking card, cools great, clocked at 2.0Ghz out the box. I have it driving 2 Ultrawides and a 24" in portrait mode. Looks super.
Pictures of my set up and my short review, here:
https://www.reddit.com/r/ultrawidemasterrace/comments/65jv6s/samsung_cf791_vs_dell_u3415w_my_impressions_after/
4k on a 40-43" should be great.
I played for a 3 months on a Dell Ultra HD 4k Monitor P2715Q 27-Inch Screen LED-Lit Monitor (3840 x 2160) and loved it, except for the ^^^^^tiny Quest/Dialogue Text. Even with all UI elements set to 140%, some elements are just too small to be effective at that size screen (e.g. cooldown toolbar).
I've recently switched to a Dell UltraSharp U3415W 34-Inch Curved LED-Lit Monitor (3440 x 1440 Pixels), and although I miss the detail/scale, it makes for a better play experience.
Technically it's not 4K because it's an ultra wide and they don't make them "4K" but it's close it's this one: https://www.amazon.com/Dell-UltraSharp-PXF79-34-Inch-LED-Lit/dp/B00PXYRMPE
It's 3440x1440 but it still looks amazing I'd highly recommend it
I have this https://www.amazon.com/Dell-UltraSharp-34-Inch-LED-Lit-Monitor/dp/B00PXYRMPE . you can pick them up sub $500.
Also i think the 2012 mac mini can't support resolutions more then 2560x1440
Nope just one ultra wide monitor :) it's awesome I highly suggest one if you have the money
Link
Whoops sorry, totally missed that.
As for what to do? I'd say get a 4k monitor. I recently purchased this:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00PXYRMPE/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&amp;psc=1
Best purchase I ever made. It's just incredible. In fact, it's the reason I am building a new PC.
I've put together a list of parts pretty similar to yours actually,
http://pcpartpicker.com/list/sFjYTH
I only ordered these parts today so I haven't put it together. Minus the GPU, which im trying to get a hold of. But I faced a similar decision on if I should SLI 2 cards and I decided against it. A single 1080 should be able to handle 4k gaming fine at the moment.
I was just eyeing this..... seems like a killer deal, not 120hz, and no gsync but way cheaper! https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00PXYRMPE/ref=ox_sc_sfl_title_1?ie=UTF8&amp;psc=1&amp;smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER
I have this monitor, and I absolutely love it. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00PXYRMPE/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o06_s00?ie=UTF8&amp;psc=1
Xplane 10 and FSX both see the resolution and have settings for it, so no problems there.
I previously had a 27'' 1920x1080 monitor and it was okay. This new one is 3440x1440 and its made a world of difference in all my sims. Can't recommend it enough if you can get it. Do remember that 3440x1440 is a signifincant amount more pixels that 1920x1080. So you'll need a beefy GPU to run it. I personally have a 980TI 6GB.
These other guys advocate these tripple monitor setups and such, and while I am sure that is the fucking tits, money is still an object for me. Also, I do lot of other things and play many other types of games on my PC where a triple monitor wouldn't be so great. So this is what's best for me. However, I used to have a very small 17'' old LCD, the square kind and I used that for the 2d panels like GPS and Comms in FSX and that was perfect.
$1000 for peripherals. I'm assuming $600-700 for the monitor (planning on an ultrawide 1440 and thinking about this Dell: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00PXYRMPE/ref=ox_sc_act_title_2?smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER&amp;psc=1 keyboard / mouse, I have no clue but assuming about an extra $200. Thoughts on the monitor? Thank you again!
the clamp might be an issue with weight and all, but if you get one that's bolted to the desk, and not just tension screw, you might be better off. I have the Dell UltraSharp U3415W 34-Inch Curved LED-Lit Monitor, it's got good color representation, pretty close if not 1:1 for my 15" MacBook Pro. The newer version has a bit more curve to it than this one that I have. It also has several USB ports - though you have to run a USB line back to the computer of course, the ability to run 2 different inputs into the monitor for a bezel-less split screen. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00PXYRMPE
I don't have exact experience with that Samsung monitor you referenced, but we do have a few of the nearly same monitor in a 27" standard 1080p resolution and the colors are good, though they are a bit more contrasty.
My set up... messy: https://imgur.com/a/wtTJg8T
I Recommend you: Dell UltraSharp U3415W 34-Inch Curved LED-Lit Monitor
It should be able too. I'm currently waiting to get a 144hz. (I have a 4K 60hz.) This model to be exact. (https://www.amazon.com/Samsung-U28E590D-28-Inch-LED-Lit-Monitor/dp/B00YD3DBOC)
I can run Witcher 3 at max settings besides hairworks and get between 50-60fps in 4K
The $300 Samsung 28" is 4k with freesync, no vesa mount though, is absolutely friggen tempting.
I have the same issue - I have the samsung u28e590d monitor which is a 4K monitor as well - https://www.amazon.com/Samsung-U28E590D-28-Inch-LED-Lit-Monitor/dp/B00YD3DBOC/
I have 4K UHD selected as the resolution, and in advanced settings -> TV details it says "Your TV supports 4K UHD" (60Hz) but then under games it says " Your TV setup does not support 4K 10-bit at 60Hz. However, you can still upscale to 4K by choosing the 4K UHD TV resolution setting"
Both mine and the OP Monitor obviously supports 4K 60Hz gaming.. so why does the XBOX ONE X say otherwise?
That isn't a listing from Newegg.ca, it is a third party seller. The same monitor can be had at amazon.ca for $550 CAD.
That same seller has this $1000 Samsung ultrawide listed for more than 3 grand.
If you shop around, you can actually end up getting comparable prices to US retailers, especially with some of the AIB 1080s that have come out.
It really depends on the person. Some people can't live without 4K once they've gotten a taste of it, others like myself are perfectly content with 1080p.
[The LG 24UD58-B] (https://www.amazon.com/LG-24UD58-B-24-Inch-Monitor-FreeSync/dp/B01LPNKFK0/ref=sr_1_3?s=electronics&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1517855573&amp;sr=1-3&amp;keywords=4k+monitor) is an Amazon Choice^TM product, whatever that means. Supports Freesync too, which your 470 will love.
[The Samsung U28E590D] (https://www.amazon.com/Samsung-U28E590D-28-Inch-LED-Lit-Monitor/dp/B00YD3DBOC/ref=sr_1_5?s=electronics&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1517855573&amp;sr=1-5&amp;keywords=4k+monitor) is a 4K monitor with Freesync. A little more expensive, because it has PIP 2.0 capabilities.
If your rig can't handle a certain game at 4K, you can always lower the resolution back to 1080p (1440p will cause scaling issues and look terrible, you'll want 1080p).
Here you are.

With your CPU usage being that high, open task manager and find out what's using most of your resources. Prebuilts often come with a ton of manufacturer's bloatware.
Otherwise, there's not really a whole lot else worth straight up upgrading in your system right now. The 7700 is a great CPU, and the 1070 is a great GPU. You're at 1080p60, so there's not really a lot more performance you can squeeze out of that resolution/refresh rate for games. Nvidia's RTX cards just launched, but there's really no data for them other than they're the standard improvement over last gen's cards since literally nothing supports ray tracing yet. There's info circulating around AMD putting up GPUs on a 7nm process soon, but same with the RTX cards, it's probably wise to wait until more information is available before deciding on either. However, the 1080ti is likely going to take a dive in price pretty soon given the RTX release and Nvidia coming back into possession of thousands of Pascal boards once the crypto market demand died down. If you decide to step up your GPU, you might want to check into higher resolution and higher refresh panels as well, as there's not really more performance you can squeeze out of 1080p60 by upgrading your hardware. I've got this 1440p144hz panel and this 4k60 panel, and they're both outstanding performers for the price. You'd definitely need to up your GPU to drive them to their full potential, but it kinda sounds like you're thinking about doing that anyway, and like I said there's really not a whole lot more you can get out of 1080p60 that you aren't already getting out of your current hardware.
As for your CPU, not really a whole lot of point in upgrading there. Coffee Lake is just a hardware refresh of Kaby Lake [your CPU family], and Kaby Lake is just a hardware refresh of Skylake. It's a quad-core cpu, but it's hyperthreaded, which means it essentially functions as an 8-core. There's really no reason to put money into upgrading it until something actually better comes along.
But then again, these could all be totally moot points. Building a pc is a lot of fun and a great way to get to know every single bit of hardware in your rig. Given that you've already got a very well-performing pc, it might be worth your while to just put down some cash for an inexpensive pc just to fuck around with, like a Ryzen 3 GT 1030 build. It's a great way to learn more about hardware and how it interacts with your os without having to put down a ton of money, and it isn't necessarily devastating if you break your OS tinkering because all your more important data is elsewhere.

I have had exactly the same issue. I bought and returned several IPS monitors in the last month, they all sucked. The ASUS 4k was hard to look at for some reason (made me want to gouge my eyes out), the BenQ 4k was grainy and difficult to focus on.
The best one I've found (that I'm using right now) is a TN panel, the Samsung U28E590D:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00YD3DBOC/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&amp;th=1
Not as good as my phone or the best tv's, but it's actually sharp (unlike the 4k IPS stuff I tried). I've ordered an HP Envy monitor, as it's supposed to be glossy...guess I'll know in the next week whether I keep it or send it back (it should arrive in a few days).
But I completely share your frustration. There's a bunch of cool screen on smartphones, and on tv's, but in monitors they seem to be slumming it with gimmicky tech specs but the same old very basic screens which aren't great.
Apple has recently announced 2 displays -

I have a stupid monitor question so please bear me out. Currently I have a Samsung U28E590D 4K monitor. I use it with my MacBook Pro for daily web browsing and some work stuff. Now I'm building a midrange PC (i5-7500 + RX 480 8G) for gaming and knowing it's not going to be able to run games at 4K, is it reasonable to just downgrade the resolution of the monitor to 1440p or even 1080p when playing games? Or I'm better off if I just sell this and get a new 1440p monitor that's more suitable for gaming. Thanks in advance and any help is much appreciated!
Amazon has the same price too. https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00YD3DBOC/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1479993224&amp;sr=8-1&amp;pi=SX200_QL40&amp;keywords=samsung+28inch+4k&amp;dpPl=1&amp;dpID=51j3qmKvJrL&amp;ref=plSrch

This one from Samsung is $300 and new, you actually missed a good deal, it was $250 last night, but 30p isnt to bad either.
You have the right idea - just be patient. I was able to grab this one for $199 off of Amazon:
https://www.amazon.com/LG-29UM68-P-29-Inch-21-UltraWide/dp/B01B9IDLAW/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1474658642&amp;sr=8-2&amp;keywords=29+lg+29um67p
Forgot to mention deal is for prime members only. Also a second deal LG 34UM68-P 34-Inch 21:9 UltraWide IPS Monitor with FreeSync for $350
I have this one, and it's amazing. Obviously most media isn't in an ultrawide format, but if you want to browse while watching something there is more than enough screen real estate to do it.
I am partial to ultrawide myself but be warned 1080p on a screen over 27 inch can be too pixelated for some. All the games you listed support 21:9 and you will get much better frame rates with your current card vs 1440p. I wouldn't look at the UM67 personally. In the $500 or under range this is a better option since it the newer model and it also has freesync.
As for 1440p recommendation this would be cheaper and also have freesync.
Here is two options on ultrawides:

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01B9IDLAW/ref=psdc_1292115011_t1_B01AVE7L4W
The best one I could find was This one 27in, 144hz, 1ms response time, $260 dollars less if you get one used. But at that price you also could get some 29in ultrawides, they just wouldnt be as good
Here
are some ultrawide examples
Here are some more expensive ones
Ever thought of Ultrawide?
Really amazing for being productive, gorgeous on games that support it (as long as you can deal with some games that don’t and have a black box to fill it up) and has FreeSync.
I’ve been browsing for monitors too and this one just caught my attention. $299.99

Great monitor, this is what my fiance uses these days. If you ever get a new PC, you can toss an AMD card in there and enjoy some freesync.
For me this is the best deal https://www.newegg.com/global/uk/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824025516&amp;cm_re=Monitor-_-24-025-516-_-Product
Unless you want to try the curved monitor thats not ultrawide
Hang on thats out of stock!
No the first one you linked -> https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824025414&amp;ignorebbr=1 is probably the best unless you go curved
https://www.amazon.com/LG-29UM68-P-29-Inch-21-UltraWide/dp/B01B9IDLAW
After a fairly short Amazon search I found this: https://www.amazon.com/LG-29UM68-P-29-Inch-21-UltraWide/dp/B01B9IDLAW. It may not be the best monitor but its not curved and looks about as wide if not wider then the one on the picture.
You shouldn't always just look at this but just look around on multiple websites and find a monitor that suits you
https://www.amazon.com/LG-29UM68-P-29-Inch-21-UltraWide/dp/B01B9IDLAW/ref=dp_ob_title_ce
This is a 29inch freesync monitor(2560x1080) probably just about the best you will find for the price. Gsync unfortunately adds a lot to the price of monitors.
I don't have that exact monitor, but I have these LG ultrawides with a RX580.
I'm not a heavy gamer, but these seem to run Diablo and Civ just fine, and the occasional Doom, PUBG, Metal Gear and some more graphics intensive games, without the flickering issues described previously. The monitor specs say Freesync, but at 75Hz refresh rates, I don't know how meaningful that is.
Alright, well - You could push frames higher than 60 on some less graphically intense games, but nothing like GTA V.
I think you would be just fine with a much cheaper monitor, something in the $150-$200 range, but if you have the money to spend, maybe something like this would be cool:
https://www.amazon.com/LG-29UM68-P-29-Inch-21-UltraWide/dp/B01B9IDLAW/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1525796551&amp;sr=8-1&amp;keywords=lg+29+inch
It may start to struggle at full 2560x1080 resolution in the future, but you can always just bring games back to a regular 1920x1080 resolution. It will just have black bars on the sides, but your screen size would be about that of a normal 24 inch monitor at that point. Keep in mind this monitor does go on sale for less than this price fairly regularly I am pretty sure, so you may want to wait and scope it out for a couple weeks before buying if you decide to go for it.
My girlfriend has this monitor and she uses it for graphics design and gaming and loves it. Again, you can save money here and get a regular 24 inch 1080p monitor, but if you have the money to spend why not spend it on a cool ultrawide experience.
There are higher priced 1080p monitors with 144hz that may also be nice, but I don't know how well you will be able to push those frames on a 1060 6gb.
here you go!

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01B9IDLAW/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&amp;psc=1, its a more budget focused ultrawide. I love it, it's amazing for productivity. Plus I bought it for its color accuracy
This could be quite useful for video editing as it makes working with timeline easier:
LG 25UM58-P
https://www.amazon.com/LG-25UM58-P-25-Inch-21-UltraWide/dp/B01BV1XB2K/ref=sr_1_1?s=pc&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1468882452&amp;sr=1-1&amp;keywords=lg+ultrawide
It's not the best but it's the cheapest afaik
Thoughts on this one for a secondary monitor?
I'd go for the 144hz personally. Even if you're not able to take full advantage of it, eventually you'll get to a point where you've upgraded enough of your components to be able to do so. Until then, Freesync will fill in the gaps.
I have an RX580 paired with an FX8350 (I know I know :p) and I'm getting 75hz on my 2560x1080 monitor on GTA5, Witcher 3, and Final Fantasy 14. I surprisingly didn't have to turn too many settings down either, GTA5/Witcher are running on ~high settings and FF14 ultra settings and I get between 70-75 frames in all of them. Paired with a 3600 I'm thinking I'll be able to get over 100fps with ease considering my archaic 8350 can do 75fps.
Definitely go for the 144hz monitor, especially since it's $20 more for nearly double the frames.
If you do decide to go with a 75hz monitor, don't grab the one you linked. I recommend looking at this one
https://www.amazon.com/LG-25UM58-P-25-Inch-21-UltraWide/dp/B01BV1XB2K/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=lg+25+ultrawide&qid=1565818969&s=electronics&sr=1-1
I've had this monitor for ~4 years now and it's been amazing. Compared to the 75hz one you linked, this one saves you $80, it's ultrawide, and it can be overclocked to 75hz easily. I've had mine overclocked for roughly a year with zero issues.
Okay so if you want good monitors, I've got a couple buddies and myself that use 2 LG 25UM58-Ps on our systems and they're 149 a piece at Micro Center. 195 at amazon. 75Hz Ultrawides with super accurate color repreduction. Here's the link: https://www.amazon.com/LG-25UM58-P-25-Inch-21-UltraWide/dp/B01BV1XB2K
It's a 2560x1080 monitor ingot off amazon for kind of cheap. Very good for vertical monitor.

Very good monitor.
okay, so this a bit more than the $100 that you want to spend but I thought I'd toss is out. I just picked up this exact monitor my self and frankly love it. I was concerned it would be smaller than I wanted but once I set it up I was quite happy.
https://www.amazon.com/LG-25UM58-P-25-Inch-21-UltraWide/dp/B01BV1XB2K/ref=sr_1_1?s=pc&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1483401477&amp;sr=1-1&amp;keywords=lg+ultrawide+monitor
It performed very well, and is crisp. The ultra wide is actually quite handy, I've been doing a bit of work in autoCAD and have been really enjoying this monitor compared to my old one.
I recently also made a build of around the similar budget and I got this monitor. https://www.amazon.com/LG-25UM58-P-25-Inch-21-UltraWide/dp/B01BV1XB2K/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1486282828&amp;sr=8-1&amp;keywords=lg+25um
I also went from gaming on a laptop and the surround view is amazing. That resolution runs very near to max settings at 60fps on my 3GB 1060 so if you are planning to get either of the 1060s or either of the 480s you will be able to easily handle this resolution. But I have to note that I had a choice between this and a normal 1080p monitor. I did not have one bought already.
This build would fit your budget perfectly.

You can freely change some of the components if you don't like how they look, ie different manufacturer of RAM or of the GPU. But this build overall is probably the best bang for your buck at the moment. Total price does include the monitor

Dell ultrasharps are very good. HP elitedisplays are also good. A high quality monitor that is 24" should only cost around 150-250 USD.
Something to consider is the stand, and the amount of movement you want - cheaper monitors are not as adjustable as higher end monitors.

Damn. If only I had one of these running in portrait mode...
https://www.amazon.com/ASUS-ROG-SWIFT-PG348Q-3440x1440/dp/B01C83BE6U
Upgraded from a tiny 24" 60hz relic. Still getting used to all the new available workspace.
I've never had to research an ultra-wide, so don't know myself, but it looks like these options that are near the top:
Dell Aleinware 34" 3440x1440p 120 Hz IPS monitor
Acer X34 Predator 34" 3440x1440p 120Hz IPS monitor
AOC Agon AG352UCG 35" 3440x1440p 100Hz VA monitor
Asus ROG PG348Q 34" 3440x1440p 100Hz IPS monitor
All 3 have G-sync, and nearly comparable specs. Some websites have rated the Alienware as the best ultrawide, while others have rated the X34. Problem is, they're pricey as hell on Amazon (pretty much twice the price of 27" 1440p monitors!), and I don't know many other websites that sell them for cheaper. You'll need to do a bit of research if you want to buy them at a good price. Probably check local stores, or contact the company websites directly if you don't have any local stores.
4K monitors don't go above 60Hz currently. 100+ fps looks so much better than 60 fps. You could do 4K with a single gtx 1080 or 1070, but you'd be turning down settings to get to 60 fps. 1440p 144 Hz monitors are getting cheaper. The resolution is much better than 1080p and you can get higher refresh rates. As of now, 1440p is the way to go imo. I have a QNIX QX2710 and it overclocks to 100Hz. They can be bought for $220 right now on ebay.
This Asus 1440p 144Hz TN panel Freesync monitor would be the next step up www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824236593
Next step up, IPS panel http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824236466
G-sync TN panel 1440p 144Hz http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824260333
Prices go up significantly from there. On that note, the holy grail of gaming monitors.

This is only 21:9 so it is out of scope for me. I'm starting to thinking about VR PIMAX 5K+ because lack of FOV in all those monitors.
I would pass on that LG, the resolution isn't going to push your 2080ti much at all. If you're set on ultra-wide, I'd go with this instead This might be (totally is) the best ultra-wide monitor on the planet. Pricey but its simply stunning.
Personally, I don't think ultra-wide is worth it. If you think you can go without it, and would love to save yourself a few hundred dollars, check out this monitor... 1440p 165hz, it is incredible
Here you go! ASUS ROG PG348Q

Yes, you can have a 40" 4K and need to move your head to look all over the screen, or a 30" and have a bunch of things out of your vision that you need to shift your focus over to look at.
Monitors are all personal preference. I have a 29" Ultrawide and I sometimes miss things on the sides of the screens.. specifically the minimap and health panel in HotS. I sit 2' away for reference.
Very surprised Blizzard even supported 21:9 in HotS, considering their past, and current history, regarding 21:9 monitors. (aka "they're cheating".. even in a PvE game like D3)
If you want extremely fast response times, you get a 16:9 TN panel. If you want great FoV and solid colors, you get a 21:9 IPS panel. Gaming 21:9 monitors are quite expensive though.. even ASUS' new 240Hz 16:9 monitor is under half the price of the X34 or ASUS' equivelent.
For me personally, I'll never go back to 16:9. It's a completely inferior aspect ratio.. as it was back before it very sadly took over 16:10.
Amazon price and reviews.
Hey guys between that and this
https://www.amazon.com/PG348Q-Ultra-Wide-3440x1440-DisplayPort-Monitor/dp/B01C83BE6U
which should I get? They're the same price and I'm getting itchy to pull the trigger.
I hear you, man -- we all know the "there's something great right around the corner" feel. There is one truth you can bank on: something newer and better will come out later... and it will not be priced better.
It's your hard-earned / hard-saved money... makes sense that you should get exactly what you are looking for (100hz):
Asus ROG PG348Q 34-Inch -- 100hz - 12 months no interest financing via Amazon - $1199
Samsung CF791 34-inch - 100hz - $79.19 month, 12 months no interest via Samsung ($950)
You are on a treadmill and you'll never get to your
destinationmonitor until you draw a line in the sand / step off the ride / pull the trigger.You have the opportunity to drive a Ferrari right now but you continue to drive a Ford because "next years Ferrari will be better, I'll wait."
Sorry, I should have checked that it was an ultrawide. You can still get a better monitor though.
The Acer Predator X34 would be a better purchase since it has GSync and is 100 Hz if you overclock it. This ASUS monitor runs 100 Hz out of the box, but is a little more expensive.
I mean, if you like VA panels I guess. High refresh rate of an equal quality is double the price.
Absolutely. An IPS display at that resolution will look noticeably better than your current monitor and you'll still be able to get 60+ fps with G-Sync in games if you tweak settings. That's a huge upgrade.
That being said, I've been looking to get a new monitor recently and haven't pulled the trigger on anything. Currently sitting with a 27" 1440p 60hz main (no g-sync or anything). Tried out the ASUS PG348Q and let me tell you...
Rocket League in ultrawide at 100fps is BUTTER. Also have used a 4k 60hz G-SYNC display and that is unreal.
"What's next" is really tempting to hold out for...but then you have to look at its cost along with the associated GPU upgrade cost that would be necessary to really utilize that real estate and it becomes a little far fetched, especially with a budget under a grand.
I love how we're at the point where you can ask if a 2560x1440p 144hz G-SYNC/FreeSync monitor would be a "worthy upgrade" and there actually be other options to give you pause.
I bought the Asus ROG Switch 34" 1440 IPS with G-Sync and I freaking love it:

Note sure if you can get it where you live but I have had it a few months and no problems and it looks fantastic.
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01H5KKRLO/ref=twister_B01KHBRQSK?_encoding=UTF8&amp;psc=1
it is the official monitor used at LANs for fps/fighting games etc. the official size is 24" but there is a 27" one. it is a good monitor
Ah, I would recommend a BenQ. You can get one, that's 24 inches full HD. Running 144hz and is completely flicker free to reduce eye strain. It also has a black equalizer for visual clarity in dark scenes. Ultra fast 1ms response time. I would highly recommend. I have never owned one, but my friend does, and I have tried it. It will probably be my next monitor. Lot's of ESPORT teams for CS:GO are running this monitor.
Which makes sense, as every second counts. Higher HZ rates, allow for less rubber banding, and more smooth play.
They as well have a 27' Inch version, and some QHD displays. For only 200 dollars, it definitely worth looking into.
Here's a link.

https://www.amazon.com/BenQ-Console-eSports-Gaming-Monitor/dp/B01H5KKRLO/ref=dp_ob_title_ce?th=1
no it will not make a significant difference tbh so don't expect to all of a sudden become much better.
Anyone who tells you so would be incorrect because there's no way the human brain can perceive 3ms.
That being said i would still probably get a normal gaming monitor if playing this game and other console fps is important to you. because what you have isn't even 1080p which is the standard res for these games.
this is what most professional players use and what is used at most lans/tournies: https://www.amazon.com/BenQ-Console-eSports-Gaming-Monitor/dp/B01H5KKRLO
$100 is not enough to get a decent gaming monitor, my recommendation is Benq RL2455, which costs $200. The most important aspects are input lag and response time, a good monitor should have around 10ms input lag, and 1ms response time.

Yep, it's this one, had it for at least a year now and no problem, I love it. I'd say the only downside is that you cant have a remote for it, so you've gotta switch the input and do volume and setting with buttons on the side. If you wanna ask me anything about it feel free to PM me :)

I have been researching this for myself and it seems like this is your best option for $200-$300:
BenQ ZOWIE 24" Console eSports Gaming LED 1080p HD Monitor
If you don't care about the HDMI pass through or vertiacl adjustment, you could grab the cheaper version.
Both of these have higher response times for gaming monitors 5ms and 4ms respectively. As gaming is best on 1ms response, but good luck getting an IPS monitor with 1ms. Both are good if the response time isn't an issue for you. I'd be inclined to go with the Asus, I've never had Asus or Acer monitors but having other products from them I always feel like Asus make better quality products than Acer.
In terms of other recommendations, BenQ do some 1ms highly rated monitors and they do some with black equaliser to make it easier to see into dark places from light places, especially useful for FPS. These are not IPS though.

I have an older version of this monitor that I use with my PS4. Its really just designed for gaming and with my monitor, fast scrolling text looks like shit, like its ghosting behind it because it can't keep up. The model I'm using (RL2455HM, this is RL2455) works very well with FPS games, sports games, YouTube and Netflix. Its only 60Hz though, so do not use it for PC gaming. I'll list my own settings here as well. In my opinion, if you can afford it, just get a monitor and save yourself the headache of dealing with input lag. I got a monitor around 3 years ago and I'm never going back to playing on a TV.

Did we just become friends? I'm in mississauga, looking for a 144hz 1080p Monitor too!
This a great monitor, I use it frequently.
BenQ ZOWIE 24" Console eSports Gaming LED 1080p HD Monitor - 1ms Response Time for Ultra Fast Console Gaming (RL2455) https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B01H5KKRLO/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_B.qVzbNYS0ER9
This is what I went with:
BenQ ZOWIE 27" 1080p LED Full HD 144Hz Gaming Monitor with S-Switch, XL-Series for eSports Tournaments and Professional Players (XL2720) https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B01H5KKVLK/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_lbrVzbSHBKGY4
NV4 you need red dot or elo, I personally use red dot. For other attachments I would go with grip, stock, long barrel, quickdraw. Since it's so easy to run tac, it's useless to use stuns, so just use tac mask, dead silence on your AR classes and then stack your gun with attachments like I said.
The iron sight on the ERAD is decent, so use that if you don't have any problems with it. I'd use quickdraw and grip and particle amp (long barrel) for sure and throw on stock if you like stock SMGs. Stock is preference on subs in this game, not like black ops 3 where you needed it.
For falling apart, that's a little more complex. Mainly, I would say just work on maintaining composure. Do things that you know work, don't get nervous and make dumb plays like double rushing something if you don't normally play like that. Honestly that comes with practice. Just focus on remaining calm and playing like you usually do.
I think that moving to a monitor with a 1ms response time will help you, but it won't make you a better player. If you're already bad, just having a 1ms monitor won't help anything. I'd say that if the money isn't a problem for you, of course go ahead and buy one. But if it would be a significant purchase for you, I'd say you can wait until you are easily able to win ladder matches and are players wagers/tournaments. But if you do have the money available, I would say go for it and get the monitor I linked below.

Then i'd recommend something like this.
Let me explain, in order of importance IMO :

Personally I use this https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B01H5KKRLO/
1 ms input delay, and it's on the cheaper side of lower lag LEDs. As for converters I don't know specifically what you should get, but converting component to hdmi is converted easily and you really won't notice any delay difference so just about any converter is good. Composite on the other hand you're better off just getting a CRT. I just use a random $20 converter I found at Best Buy.
Honestly I had this monitor:
Benq Zowie: https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B01H5KKRLO/ref=mp_s_a_1_2?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1497700273&amp;sr=8-2&amp;pi=AC_SX236_SY340_QL65&amp;keywords=benq%2Brl2755hm&amp;dpPl=1&amp;dpID=51IuvcXFC4L&amp;ref=plSrch&amp;th=1&amp;psc=1
and it still serves well for playing CSGO. But I play many games and therefore I'm considering to buy a 144 - 240Hz monitor in summer. You actually don't need a 2K or 4K monitor since people still prefer 1080p for the stable fps.
I hope I could help you:)

It's nigh impossible to get a budget G-sync monitor with a fast refresh rate , you'll have to settle for a cheaper option
BenQ ZOWIE RL2455 offers a 75hz refresh rate ( when overclocked ) and a great 1ms response rate perfect for overwatch.
(http://amzn.to/2spRvFB) should save around 12k
Also if you're in Mumbai head over to Prime ABGB , you can get the Ryzen 5 1500x for around 14.5k , which is a significant upgrade
I seriously recommend more storage ,250 Gb just doesn't cut it anymore , you can get a 1TB hard disk for 3.5k

I think this monitor has similar specs, is only 27" but has vesa.

I'm looking for a 1440p monitor, preferably 144hz with good color quality. As far as I've heard, TN isn't the best. I'm operating off of a GTX 1080 and R5 2600X. The cheaper the better, but I am willing to pay for better features.

I already had 2 of these. For budget monitors they're pretty goodas I got the 27' 1440p 144hz version. Unfortunately they are VA panels and not IPS like the AW. I had to use an ICC file and turn down the VIOTEK's brightness as they're crazy bright. I'm very happy with them but if all you have is the AW it might be better finding other IPS panels depending on your budget.

Maybe I can't tell the different from those couple dozen frames. Is it worth it dropping to 100-110? Was thing of getting a 1440p version. I have the 1080p version already and was thinking of doing a dual monitor setup. I do love the 1080p version if OP is wondering. It has a Samsung panel too.

viotek va panel curved 144hz 1440p freesync
this is what I have, price has gone down. Might have to tweak colors a bit but it's a very solid monitor.
best bang for the buck would be viotek 27 inch 1440p 144hz for $250. you can probably get closer to your 200$ mark by getting a 24 inch, but its hard to find curved that small. the monitor i linked is a VA type panel made from samsung. if u find any other vendor with a curved 27inch VA panel with 144hz rate, 9/10 times it will be the same panel so look for the model between manufacturers and find the one with the best reviews, On screen display options, overdrive reviews. Avoid a TN panel if you can, based on your comment it seems like you prefer image quality or quantity (of hz). there are 27inch IPS 75ish hz monitors for that price too, just keep in mind then IPS will have a bit of a price premium over VA and TN.
lurk around r/buildapcsales and you will find your monitor; you might meet some jerks or make friends in the comments tho. they have sales all the time, just note reviews that include keywords like (ghosting, response time, colors and contrast)
Those are a bit more pricey, im having trouble finding one in that price range for 4k 144hz lol. https://www.amazon.com/27-Inch-Monitor-Samsung-FreeSync-GamePlus/dp/B078P57ZWL/ref=sr_1_10?keywords=4k+144hz&qid=1556336667&rnid=386442011&s=electronics&sr=1-10 if you can deal with having a 5 ms response time

Amazon link- https://www.amazon.com/GN27D-Computer-Monitor-Freesync-Optimized/dp/B078P57ZWL/
If you can spare 100 extra dollars I’d get this one , but if not for that price, get this one for the same price but a $500 value. Seriously it’s a $500 one for 270 get it
Makes sense.
This ones pretty solid

I just bit the bullet and upgraded to a 1440p monitor... this one, should be here tomorrow.
I just moved to two new monitors this week.
I ordered a Asus PG279QZ for my main monitor, and the Asus MX27AQ for my secondary.
I saw the issue of my main monitor only displaying 60FPS when a video is on the second screen, and also occasional stuttering between the monitors.
Things I tried:
None of the above worked. So I returned the MX27AQ monitor and ordered the VIOTEK GN27DB to use as my secondary monitor.
Its due to arrive today, I can let you know if it fully fixes the issue for me.
Got this monitor for 475$ with one-day shipping. There was no tax so the price is good and if you're looking for a great VA monitor with freesync this one is perfect. It is a Korean brand but it has a Samsung panel with excellent blacks and nice colors. It's pretty similar to this monitor in terms of specs.
Not sure about the budget but I would recommend this one
$319
It is 1440p, 144hz, has freesync and works w/ g-sync, speakers, curved, is a Samsung va panel, 4ms refresh rate, and 75x75 VESA mountable. Basically a good solid 1440p 144hz monitor with good picture. It's not the best at any one thing but its not lacking anywhere, genuinely best to describe it as Solid and only $319
This or the VIOTEK GN27DB? Similar price at the moment. Is the Dell name worth getting this monitor instead of the Viotek?
This or the VIOTEK GN27DB 27-Inch?
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B078P57ZWL/ref=ox_sc_saved_title_1?smid=A1BVYXEL822RF0&amp;psc=1
I don't know if I would enjoy curved, never tried it.
Just realized the VIOTEK GN27D doesn't have taxes and seems to be a fairly well received monitor with a pretty aggressive pixel policy and VESA compatible.
It doesn't have G-sync but if I were to ever go back to AMD then that'd be icing on the cake for a monitor which would otherwise last me many years providing it doesn't explode on the 366th day.

If you'd be okay with a 21.5" monitor, I'd highly suggest this one from Amazon: Acer SB220Q bi 21.5" Full HD (1920 x 1080) IPS Ultra-Thin Zero Frame Monitor (HDMI & VGA Port) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07CVL2D2S/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_FdijDb7SDXQXB
I've bought 3 of these (two for me, one for a friend) and they work great, especially for the price. Just wanted to let you know about it
Eventually. I quite like the Amazon choice Acer 1080p one.
I'd get this one, you could also get a used one off craigslist or something for even cheaper.
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07CVL2D2S/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_CuyFDb1Y9W562
Pretty decent, cheap monitors— no vesa compatibility but I bought a VESA adapter thing that pops in to where the stock base goes.
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07NM9Z7GX/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_RvyFDbHSD9A3Y
Only thing I don’t like about em is that they don’t have DisplayPort And my GPU is all DP and 1 HDMI.
Here’s another one this is the one I have to get because I also did the same
I have been eyeing this monitor for a while and you should check it out
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07CVL2D2S/?tag=pcpapi-20
Its 1080p 75hz and looks like a pretty decent quality monitor
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B06ZYHZ6R6/?tag=pcpapi-20. I recommend getting a 144hz monitor, they are really that much better than 60hz and the 2070 will be able to play all games at 144fps. If that's too much, then get this 75hz monitor: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07CVL2D2S/?tag=pcpapi-20.

i couldn't include monitor in the budget nor could i find a decently priced white bezel monitor, but this one is not bad: https://www.amazon.com/Acer-SB220Q-Ultra-Thin-Frame-Monitor/dp/B07CVL2D2S
This seems like a good budget monitor from the reviews. It has 75hz, an ips panel, and free sync (and trust me, you would want free sync or gsync)
Edit: it doesn’t have built in speakers, but there are many good cheap headphones on amazon
Hello again,
I have been searching for a bit and found this;;
https://www.amazon.com/Acer-SB220Q-Ultra-Thin-Frame-Monitor/dp/B07CVL2D2S/ref=sxin_0_ac_m_pm?ac_md=3-0-VW5kZXIgJDEwMA%3D%3D-ac_d_pm&amp;keywords=monitor&amp;pd_rd_i=B07CVL2D2S&amp;pd_rd_r=22762fd0-be2a-4b73-aba3-22461775698a&amp;pd_rd_w=qJ8Mo&amp;pd_rd_wg=xqWmn&amp;pf_rd_p=808372f4-ce06-4458-88ef-16b605aa053a&amp;pf_rd_r=AE16R9XCSBBXAQK2Z1ZK&amp;psc=1&amp;qid=1570969348
It's a bit small but it is a pretty decent looking monitor.
Here's a decent one for about $90... 1080p 75Hz (you won't get above this with your current budget, keep that in mind).
https://www.amazon.com/Acer-SB220Q-Ultra-Thin-Frame-Monitor/dp/B07CVL2D2S/ref=mp_s_a_1_4?adgrpid=54132881497&amp;gclid=EAIaIQobChMIrqnU_JyZ5QIVdBh9Ch2AVAfTEAAYASAAEgJLXvD_BwE&amp;hvadid=274738163266&amp;hvdev=m&amp;hvlocphy=9003425&amp;hvnetw=g&amp;hvpos=1t1&amp;hvqmt=e&amp;hvrand=6768644120295972004&amp;hvtargid=kwd-298987643721&amp;hydadcr=20130_9346183&amp;keywords=1080p+75hz+monitor&amp;qid=1570969394&amp;sr=8-4
To save on money I'd definitely go with something like this; the AMD processor shown here has a Radeon Vega 8 integrated GPU so you don't need a dedicated graphics card until (if) you decide to upgrade.
If you take u/x3lr4's advice and upgrade to a gen 3 Ryzen, know you will most likely have to update the BIOS of the motherboard before it will work. It isn't really difficult, but you should be aware that will be a thing to do before you swap it out.
Another way to save a bit of money is to go with 8GB ram instead of 16. It's true that the GPU/CPU will be sharing the system memory with an integrated chip, but the graphics will be more limiting than the RAM.
There's a pretty decent inexpensive monitor from Acer here. Only $89 and still 2k. It has HDMI but no display port. Still though, its good enough for a Vega 8 machine. With these two changes to the above list, you'd save $100 from switching monitors and ~$40 from dropping to 8GB ram. You'd be pushing costs out to when you upgrade rather than when you are loading in, but it would be worth it.
&#x200B;
A Ryzen 5 2400G has an integrated Vega 11 GPU; this benchmarks much better than the Vega 8 (they are almost if not completely identical hardware, but the 11 has all the features "turned on") and would cost you ~$40 more. If you drop to 8GB ram, I'd say the money would be used better here. You get a better CPU and better graphics, without having to spend the money on a separate card. This still benchmarks worse than the RX570 suggested in another post, but a dedicated card will always be better. This processor still would give you ~78FPS in CS:GO and ~89FPS in LoL. If you want a build with a dedicated graphics card, its hard to beat u/Pillclinton710's list.
Alienware has this 240hz monitor going for 300. It's overkill for your rig but still future-proof. Also, you can tone down your stuff and experience the full 240. For about the rest go with a DS3H board and taxes should clock out to 400.
&#x200B;
EDIT for 144 take this monitor, it's about the same price as above. https://www.amazon.com/Dell-D2719HGF-Response-Speakers-FreeSync/dp/B07J4SXNQ5/ref=sr_1_3?keywords=144hz&qid=1562775162&s=gateway&sr=8-3
&#x200B;
Welcome to the pcmasterrace
Both pretty good monitors, bro. Obviously since both 144Hz and that's what you really want, go for the cheapest.
If you want to look for a 27" 144Hz, this one is pretty cheap although a bit more than those two options.
https://www.amazon.com/Dell-D2719HGF-Response-Speakers-FreeSync/dp/B07J4SXNQ5/ref=sr_1_3?keywords=Dell+gaming+monitor&qid=1562779704&s=electronics&sr=1-3
I saw the deal on theDell 27' monitor last night but the deal is completely gone now.
&#x200B;
Does anybody know if this deal will come back or is it most likely already gone?
nah this
If you don’t find anything this is probably your best bet if you have Amazon Prime:
https://www.amazon.com/Dell-D2719HGF-Response-Speakers-FreeSync/dp/B07J4SXNQ5/ref=mp_s_a_1_3?keywords=144hz+monitor&amp;qid=1563202639&amp;s=gateway&amp;smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER&amp;sr=8-3
Anyone have any thoughts on these two monitors on sale today?
Is there any particular reason to pay $30 more for the Viewsonic? The monitor will be primarily used for gaming.
Look on Amazon for a Dell 1920x1080 monitor 144hz 27 inch. They are $180.
I don't mind splurging on monitors because they literally last years. These 3x I have will probably last me 5-6 years before I replace them with something newer. So, that's 2x hardware replacement cycles. I managed to get 4 years out of my last desktop by just buying a new GPU early as mine died 6 months before I replaced the whole PC and took the new GPU to the new PC.
Also monitor mounts are totally worth the money. Mine was like $45 and it holds all 3 monitors. Gives me a ton of extra desk room so that way I can have my laptop on the side, and still gives me room to have my keyboard and mouse on the desk itself. My standing desk was worth every penny. To be able to stand and stretch is glorious. I picked up a sound system to go along with it, so the desk by itself was around $850, the rest was audio equipment in the above price estimate.
That one's pretty good, not that I recommend 27" 1080p but if it's the one you think will be the best for your usage, go for it.
Only thing you have to do to it is adjust the settings to get the best color out of it. Other than that, it should be a reliable monitor.
Edit: that price is bad actually since you can get a 1440p144 for only $50 more: https://www.amazon.com/Dell-27-Inch-LED-Lit-Monitor-S2719DGF/dp/B00N2L5CXO
Edit 2: Here's a monitor that's 1080p144hz 27" that is less than $200 https://www.amazon.com/Dell-D2719HGF-Response-Speakers-FreeSync/dp/B07J4SXNQ5/
Stick with 1080p for your 1060 unless you plan on upgrading soon... Dell 27" 1080p 144hz is pretty good for the price. Dell Gaming LED-Lit Monitor 27" Black (D2719HGF), https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07J4SXNQ5/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_Y24rDbZ3JB8PX
Been this price on Amazon since March. You can also get it at Walmart. Both would be better options than Newegg.
Dell Gaming LED-Lit Monitor 27"... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07J4SXNQ5?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share
Same boat with you, literally deciding between XG2402 and XFA240.
A buddy of mine showed me a 27” Dell today that I might get actually. 144hz, 2ms, freesync but gsync compatible.
Dell Gaming LED-Lit Monitor 27" Black (D2719HGF), FHD (1920 x 1080) at 144 Hz, 2 ms response time, DP 1.2, HDMI, USB, 2W x 2 speakers, AMD FreeSync https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07J4SXNQ5/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_GmmoDbR6B0JRZ
As a backup option, for $30 more you can grab the Dell 2719DHF on Amazon. Just FYI. Hope you can do better though, GLWB!
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07J4SXNQ5/ref=cm_sw_r_sms_c_api_i_609iDbC07DARW
No. You should actually go for the 27 inch version from amazon. They have an insane price right now at $180.
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07J4SXNQ5/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_3AVACbHJ59SXK

Woah there's 2 in stock! Move fast if you want it : AOC Agon AG241QX 23.8” Gaming Monitor, FreeSync, QHD (2560x1440), TN Panel, 144Hz, 1ms, Height Adjustable, DisplayPort, HDMI, USB https://www.amazon.in/dp/B01NCTHS6E/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_9YLPBb3B5ASY4
It's the exact same model I have
I am dead serious, I recently made the switch from 1080p 60hz to 1440p 144hz and after HOLY SHIT, it’s a massive difference that you notice in the first second. I used to browse reddit when deciding what I wanted to do if I wanted to upgrade and always thought that people were overreacting and they were just like absurdly technical people who over analyze but my god I promise you you will instantly see a massive difference with 1440p 144hz.
Incase you’re curious I bought this monitor in July and have zero Complaints and am in love still months later. AOC Agon AG241QX 24" Gaming... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01NCTHS6E?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share
Look on Amazon, there will be a lot of 1440p monitors for a fair price of around $250. This one has a 144hz refresh rate but I can’t speak to the panel quality personally: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01NCTHS6E/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_Ad5VDbF951FJT
https://www.amazon.com/AOC-AG241QX-Gaming-Monitor-2560x1440/dp/B01NCTHS6E
If you don't mind the lack of gsync this monitor usually isn't too hard to find for less than $300. That seems like it would be closer to your budget if you switched to Ryzen.
E: Fixed broken link
There are some 1440P monitors in that range

I bought this exact monitor back in 2018 around black friday for the same price it is listed for currently if that helps at all. I really like the monitor and have had it overclocked to 120hz since the day I bought it with no issues. Although YMMV because it is not guaranteed to be stable at 120hz.
I just got my new Alienware ultrawide yesterday. :) What do you think of the samsung? The onyl reason i didnt go with it is due to its vertical being only 1080. I wanted a 1440 monitor and the Alienware also supports Gsync instead of freesync.
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0777RY75V/ref=psdc_1292115011_t1_B072C7TNC5
So I just picked up an this monitor https://www.amazon.com/Dell-Alienware-Monitor-Resolution-Overclocked/dp/B0777RY75V
Maybe bad idea. I don’t know. But I haven’t built my pc yet. I do have a laptop though that I am using with it. However, when I hook it up both screens become laggy. Some people said it may be a chrome issue but I switched browsers and still same result. I’m leaning toward the idea that the difference of hz and not being synced somehow. Anyone have any experience with this? I have this lap top https://www.newegg.com/p/2WC-000M-00115?item=9SIA8S18GD7688&amp;ignorebbr=true&amp;source=googleshopping&amp;nm_mc=knc-googlemkp-mobile&amp;cm_mmc=knc-googlemkp-mobile-_-pla-eluktronics-_-gaming+laptops-_-9SIA8S18GD7688&amp;gclid=Cj0KCQjwjYHpBRC4ARIsAI-3GkFFj9qjWtLNHvuxnl3wFo0N3auQaD7SaTW-fgiy75RCt41w_3PiWnMaAhLtEALw_wcB&amp;gclsrc=aw.ds
Likely going with the 2080ti over the 2080 because i'll be playing pretty much nothing but 3440x1440 for a long while which can be a fair bit more demanding than normal 1440p, so id rather pony up the extra money and have better performance for a fair while longer than I would with the 2080.
https://www.amazon.com/Dell-Alienware-Monitor-Resolution-Overclocked/dp/B0777RY75V
Ignore that its alienware and ive heard nothing but fantastic things about this monitor. Im 100% going for a 3440x1440p monitor, and the selection on those is a bit more limited so I decided to research for a while and this is the one that came out as my favorite For 3440 100hz, Its pretty tough to find anything below 600 or 700. Im spending a fair bit on hardware and feel like itd be pointless to get anything below 100hz. Im finally in a situation where I can afford to build a PC and have a bit of money to enjoy life with, which is a position ive never been.
All in all id rather pony up some extra $$$ for the premium stuff because I finally can. The monitor is expensive as all hell but its huge, 3440x1440p, and its a IPS with a low response time. Id rather it look pretty AND feel great to play, rather than sticking to 1080p and playing on a much smaller monitor that wont look nearly as nice. Dont get me wrong 4k is nice and all but fuck paying a ton of money to play something at 60fps at best. UW 1440p just feels like the sweet spot with best of both worlds.
I'm in the market for an UltraWide in the UK as well, and the prices here are just stupid compared to the US...The one I really want is Alienware AW3418DW but I'm waiting for a good sale on it as the "refreshed" version AW3420DW just dropped in the US and supposedly will be available in Europe 18.10.2019.At the moment AW3418DW in the US is $839 = £674But in the UK the same model costs £999 = $ 1242Amazon US Amazon UKThat is basically double the price for the same item, I know that there are differences with taxes etc but this is just ridiculous. And this trend can be spotted with different brands like ACER and ASUS.I'm holding off until I spot a great deal on either the AW3418DW or Predator X34P, and would recommend you to do the same. Hope this helps
Edit: Btw If you are looking at the Z35P, not so long ago (2-3 weeks) it was discounted on Box for ~£550, so everything you pay above that is overpaying.
Alienware 34" 1440p IPS 120hz w/GSYNC

Occasionally cheaper at microcenter or dell.com
Not sure how you have come to the conclusion that two of the most popular gaming monitor form factors are both useless for gaming.
I think the best monitor for the specs that you want is the LG 34GK950F-B. It's an absolutely killer monitor. 144hz, black design, borderless, IPS, and 34". The only thing is that it is Freesync2 instead of GSync, but there is not a lot of reasons to get Gsync monitors given Nvidia supports Freesync now. Also, it's a little over your budget.
If you absolutely want to stay in your budget, then the Dell ALienware 1900R is within your budget but only at 120Hz. Also the, Acer Z35 but it's a VA panel and not as minimalistic.
Personally, I'd go with the LG if you can spare an extra $100
Middle monitor: Dell Alienware AW3418DW (120Hz) - Got it for $629.99 open box at Microcenter a couple months back.
Left and right monitors: Acer CZ340CK (75Hz) - Got them $599.99 each at Microcenter when they were first released, cheapest 3440x1440 curved ultrawides at the time.
Top monitor: Dell S2716DGR (144Hz) - Paid ~$450 for it used shortly after it came out. I actually had this one as my middle monitor prior to getting the Alienware, but let my girlfriend use it. I recently kicked her out and took it back!

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0777RY75V/
I currently own this monitor going on 6 months now. The image, color and viewing angles are amazing IF you have a Radeon (Freesync) card. I Had to sell my 1070Ti because they were ridiculously incompatible. Ghosting, stutters, tearing galore, all resolved when I got my Vega 64. So buy this monitor if you are team Red, otherwise I can't recommend it.
If you're in the market for an ultrawide + graphics card combo, there this monitor paired with this card might be the best deal right now
https://www.reddit.com/r/bapcsalescanada/comments/9xorj0/gpu_sapphire_radeon_rx_vega_64_directx_12/
To put that in perspective, $1400 total before tax, including 3 free games for a display & card, the same price as this Alienware and no card: https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B0777RY75V/?tag=pcp0f-20
That's a great monitor, It's a 1440p (not 4k!) 144hz IPS and gsync.
4k is bad for gaming. It's dumb for gaming. Some people like it for gaming and that's OK, some people also like surstromming, people can have opinions. MOST people think 4k is bad for gaming.
Your other option would be this: https://www.amazon.com/Dell-Alienware-Monitor-Resolution-Overclocked/dp/B0777RY75V
It's ultrawide 3440x1440 120hz Gsync, it's AMAZING for games like skyrim, and racing sims and flight sims and stuff.
Your OTHER option is a 4k OLED HDR TV for like $2000, it's so worth it on the (very few) HDR enabled games like FFXV, your eyes will pop.
I assume that it just isn't on sale in your area but I literally just ordered an AW34 for $1k shipped off of Amazon where the X34 is the same price not including shipping or tax. The AW34 is actually currently $20 cheaper than the X34.

Edit: Just pulled up Amazon.co.uk and saw what you're talking about. Sucks that there is such a huge gap between the two for you.
You want the Alienware AW3418DW.
As a x34 user, 100% agreed.
OP I would recommend this monitor:

Its at a historical low as of the 13th.
Thanks! The monitor is an Alienware 3440x1440.
https://www.amazon.com/Dell-Alienware-Monitor-Resolution-Overclocked/dp/B0777RY75V
I picked up this monitor late last year and it's been amazing. I no longer need 2 monitors on the desk.

I have a 4k TV, but prefer gaming on the 3440x1440p ultra wide, it just feels nice thanks to the wide view.
I bought it before upgrading my PC thinking I'd rather have the monitor in place and then the hardware to support it later rather than buying new hardware and being stuck with a smaller monitor at 1080p.
It's native 100hz and can overclock to 120hz plus works great with gsync (nvidia). It completely changed how games play, especially FPS games.
@vacacay thx for the reply. I guess they are just not here yet. This is what I would really like to get: Alienware or equal. I'll post back here if I ever figure this out :)
Yep, seems around $1000 https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0777RY75V/ref=ox_sc_act_image_1?smid=A2MPFGB9C3H2CW&amp;psc=1
For a few bucks more you can get this at 120 Hz.
https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0777RY75V?psc=1&amp;ref=ppx_pop_mob_b_asin_title
Less actually, $860 at the moment.
You just have to make sure you have a rig that ready for 1440p.
If you're willing to trust Amazon Warehouse (which has free returns) with a Like New listing, you can get it right now for $512+tax.

If you wanted to check these out you could save some money on the video card. The monitor is half price but it’s a tn panel. I’ve used both but it’s up to you if you want to spend more for the ips. Sorry for the format I’m new to posting.

Sorry for not giving you specific parts, but if you really want best performance/price this is the way to do it.
r/buildapcsales
I'd suggest just hunting around for about 2-3 weeks on that sub, good deals pop up all the time. I'm sure you can find all these general parts I list below for a good price.Would recommend trying to get the more generic parts first...
Storage: m.2's, SSDs, HHDs and for best price/performance
&#x200B;
Memory: DDR4 16GB RAM, ideally 2 8GB sticks which will give you room to expand later with 2 more identical sticks to 32GB. 16GB is usually more than enough for people unless you plan on using ram hungry programs in conjunction (lots of video editing, and AutoCAD design), but for gaming, streaming music, and using discord it should be more than enough. Speed kinda matters but you'll see significant price hikes in anything above 2600 mt/s.
Remember to always check your Mother Board Bios when setting up your pc to make sure your ram is actually running at what you paid for, cause often times it will default to a lower clock rate than what it's capable of, and when expanding try to buy an identical set of RAM to reduce chances of compatibility issues.
I'd hop on this one actually rn: https://www.newegg.com/Product/ComboDealDetails?ItemList=Combo.3924617
&#x200B;
Case: Personal preference, you can definitely save money here tho by buying a case you see on sale on the sub I linked above. I personally like Mid Tower cases cause they offer good room to work and expand in, but aren't too big like a Full Tower Case.
&#x200B;
Graphics Card: You can def afford a 2070, and a 2080 might be pushing it. Recently tho with the AMD RX 5700 XT, the AMD RX 5700 XT has been bench marked above the 2070 in terms of performance and for about 100 bucks cheaper.
So unless you see a really good deal on a RTX card you are probs best off with the RX 5700 XT.
&#x200B;
CPU Cooler: Once again this will be your personal preference. Most coolers will fit most CPU sockets. It's mainly a choice between air and water cooled. You can get pretty good AIO water coolers for less than 120 and they have significantly less noise output than their air cooled tower couterparts. I'd recommend the corsair AIO coolers as corsair has a really good warranty program that comes with their products. However you can get really good air coolers for a lot less. Just make sure to match it to the size of your case. (Most coolers will fit in most mid/full towers)
&#x200B;
Case Fans: Just make sure to match the size of the fan to what your case needs. Usually a case comes with 1 or 2, but I always get more so that I can run each fan at lower speeds to reduce noise while still maintaining high airflow and so that they all match. I'd also consider getting 1 or 2 extras to have on hand cause you never know when you just get a bad fan. I had one of my fans burn out on my radiator and I ended up having to put my PC out of commission for a week till the new fan came in.
&#x200B;
Peripherals: Whatever you like works for you, you'll find a lot of sales on keyboards, mice, headsets, and gamepads on r/buildapcsales.
&#x200B;
Monitor: At your price range you are going to want a 1440p 144hz monitor
https://www.amazon.com/27-Inch-Monitor-Samsung-FreeSync-GamePlus/dp/B078P57ZWL
I personally have this one, I really like it and it isn't too much compared to other monitors in that same price range. It is a freesync monitor so if you end up getting the AMD GPU you'll be on your way to having no screen tearing. I believe they sit at about 1 ms delay on the flat paneled one, and 4 or 5ms on the curved. However, you might find a better deal browsing that sub.
&#x200B;
PSU: You probably want something around 650-750 watts. Get one that is gold+ rated for efficiency.
&#x200B;
Finally for you last 2 things, you'll need to pick out a CPU and a Motherboard. Honestly, after suggesting the AMD GPU, I'd probably suggest getting a Ryzen CPU. Probably the Ryezen 7 series 2700x if you want to overclock, and the normal 2700 if you don't. As far as MOBO go, I usually recommend getting just a moderate MOBO if you aren't planning on OC the CPU, but if you are defiantly getting a better one might be worth it. I'm sure you could find one that's compatible with the ryzen 7 socket series on r/buildapcsales.
&#x200B;
You can definitely save a lot by being patient and buying things when they go on sale, so it might take 3+ weeks, but you'll end up with better components for less. Best of luck.
There's this one for a good price at the moment. I have a monitor with the same panel. It's pretty great.
https://www.amazon.com/27-Inch-Monitor-Samsung-FreeSync-GamePlus/dp/B078P57ZWL/
Also fully G-sync compatible on 1000-series cards and up.
Heres some good 1440p ones aswell:

For only $289 you get a 27 inch 1440p 144hrz free sync VA panel (tn is a massive no no for me since the viewing angles aren't good and the colors are usually washed out) that is curved.This is an absolute steal for what you pay.
This is the one I grabbed when it was on sale friday: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01H5KKRLO/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&amp;psc=1

I think other Benq monitors do the same thing but I'm not sure.

This is my guy and it is amazing how much difference it makes in seeing the pitch
I advise you to sub to r/pcmasterrace for getting good pc advice.
https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B01H5KKRLO/ref=mp_s_a_1_fkmr0_1?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1526129582&amp;sr=8-1-fkmr0&amp;pi=AC_SX236_SY340_FMwebp_QL65&amp;keywords=xl2411+benq
If you check this monitor and the other ones listed as alternatives to it in the bottom of your page you can find even cheaper alternatives (these should be 60Hz though, you gotta check the full specs on the manufacturer's website)
The thing is, if you know your machine will be able to produce 100+ FPS in the titles you wanna play you gotta buy a 144Hz, if it hovers around 60/70/80 buy a 75Hz or a 60Hz. That's why I advised you to put together the pc first.
ASUS VG245H0
AOC G2460PF
since you're going to use a RX 480.. might as well get a monitor that have freesync?
i went with one of these:
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01JGYM5H6
pretty decent, not mind blowing, does the job, and affordable.
Look into this one, it's touted as a console gaming monitor and has fairly good reviews.
https://www.amazon.com/VG245H-inchFull-Console-FreeSync-Adaptive/dp/B01JGYM5H6?th=1
Asus VG245H
https://www.amazon.com/24-inch-FreeSync-Monitor-VG245H-Response/dp/B01JGYM5H6
If your local best buy carries it, They will price match that link. That's what I did. No complaints from that monitor at all.

I have no idea how much shipping would cost you but surely not so much as to make these anywhere near as expensive as the one you found. These are just as good if not better than the one you're looking at too.
That’s why I don’t play on tv and use a monitor instead.
Am very happy with my ASUS VG245H Gaming Monitor, I got it during a big discount on amazon, it retails at about 200$, I got mine for 120$
I just plugged in my JBL Creature speakers to the audio out 3.5 mm headphone jack and I get all my sound perfectly fine.
https://www.asus.com/us/Monitors/VG245H/

Main monitor: ASUS 24” MG248QR 144hz
Side monitors: ASUS 24” VG245H 75hz
Mount: VIVO Triple Monitor STAND-V003M
Both monitors have the same bezel. The side ones were just made for console but match perfectly at a discounted price. The mount I would highly recommend because you can raise the monitors individually so they actually line up unlike some other mounts.
Here
Asus does have a 75hz (VG245H) variant for $170.
As it's not meant for gaming I would save $40 and get the (VE248H).
Yeah, I agree. The only problem with using pcs to play is that decent monitors cost about $180 on up!
Can't seem to find a low lag for cheaper than this
I have this monitor and I absolutely love it. But since you're probably not going to be gaming on two monitors, I would get one of those and your second one can be a 60-75hz. If you want them to both be the same style, I would get this one along with the one I linked at the beginning, one for gaming and another flipped vertical for productivity.
oh i just realized this is for your ps4! my apologies!!!
for ps4 every game is capped at 60fps so there would be no point in getting a 144hz monitor as your ps4 wouldn’t reach 144fps.
this is probably the best console monitor as it has a 1 ms g2g response time which means it’s going to be extremely responsive!
if you have any more questions, feel free to ask!
i recently got the [Asus VG245H](
https://www.amazon.com/VG245H-1080p-Console-Gaming-Monitor/dp/B01JGYM5H6/ref=sr_1_1?s=pc&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1480651486&amp;sr=1-1&amp;keywords=vg245h) because its cheap, has double-hdmi for pc+ps4 and is in the 10ms-range of displaylag.com. I'm super-happy with it.
Ninjaedit: here's a review of it
It doesn't look like a bad monitor. I personally don't care for 21:9 aspect ratio monitors. The industry standard is basically 16:9 so almost all games will support it. I recently purchased this monitor and I couldn't be more pleased with it. It's slightly more than the one you linked but it is adjustable, has a 75hz refresh rate, 1ms response rate and has FreeSync (I see you have a supported GPU). With some minor adjustments the colors on this monitor are bright and vibrant. I'm very pleased with it.
I have this monitor and I love it. It's probably the cheapest 144hz 1080p monitor:
https://www.amazon.com/Dell-D2719HGF-Response-Speakers-FreeSync/dp/B07J4SXNQ5
if you dont like 27in you can check this 24in one:
https://www.amazon.com/24-inch-FreeSync-Monitor-VG245H-Response/dp/B01JGYM5H6
yes amazon sells good ones. You only dont need anything over 60 hz because its on console. Just make sure you find one with good speakers unless you like playing fifa with a headset one...
the one i have is linked below. its $190 though https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01JGYM5H6/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1
This if you really think 1ms vs 4-5ms is really a difference. Keep in mind you're giving up visual quality (contrast, viewing angles, etc) for ~5 MILLIseconds. https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B01JGYM5H6/
Otherwise, for great visual clarity and low response times I would get this https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00UFCVKI4/
If you have an AMD video card you might want to check out this guy:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B01JGYM5H6/ref=psdcmw_1292115011_t2_B0043T7FHK
It offers 75hz with freesync for ~$20 more. If you have an Nvidia card it's not as helpful though.
The monitor guide in the build section of /r/pcmasterrace has a good selection of options with features and prices too.
Here it is! I do not know your repitition for Amazon BTW

LG 34" ultrawide curved 144hz
What about this one?
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01LW5CGIS/ref=emc_b_5_mob_t
LG 34UC79G-B 34-Inch 21:9 Curved... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01LW5CGIS?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share
I got this one on sale for $450 and like it a lot, I think it has gone up in price though
https://www.amazon.com/LG-34UC79G-B-34-Inch-21-UltraWide/dp/B01LW5CGIS
After doing more and more research would this monitor be a bad choice for my current setup do you think?
https://www.amazon.com/LG-34UC79G-B-34-Inch-21-UltraWide/dp/B01LW5CGIS
I've got a few ideas in mind so far, the Acer XF270U or the Acer XB271HU in mind.
The XF270U has
The XB271HU has the same specs, but with a max refresh rate of 165Hz.
There's also some "cheap-korean" monitors that come up on ebay frequently that apparently fit most of my preferences, too. LTT did a video on one such example.
From what I can tell, though, I'll have to falter on the response time...which, really, 4ms of lag is basically indistinguishable from instant for me personally. One of the games I'm super into right now will show you the amount of input lag you have at any given time when you have the FPS count visible. I've tweaked every setting I can to get that number to hover around 0ms, usually sitting at 0.1-0.5ms...but even when it used to sit at 4ms, I couldn't tell that there was a lagging in any capacity.
But uhh...I'm sure when I find whatever I want to go with, I'll post about it somewhere. I'll try to keep you informed. :P
Edit: Just found the LG 34UC79G, which ticks all the boxes, but is bigger and curved...So, there's def options out there somewhere.
Assuming price isn't an object, I'd highly recommend these two for gaming monitors:
If you have an AMD video card: https://www.amazon.com/LG-34UC79G-B-34-Inch-21-UltraWide/dp/B01LW5CGIS
If you have an NVIDIA video card: https://www.amazon.com/LG-34UC89G-B-34-Inch-21-UltraWide/dp/B0728JH3RQ
Both are 34-inch, 21:9 ratio, 2560x1080, 144Hz monitors with IPS panels. So they're large, wide, fast and gorgeous.
Trust me, once you play games on a 21:9 monitor, anything less feels like tunnel vision. 21:9 works flawlessly in PS2 and looks incredible.
Both monitors will also sync your refresh rate to your in-game framerate to minimize lag. But they are vid card brand specific. The first one will sync only with AMD vid cards, and the 2nd one will only sync w/ NVIDIA. But even without the frame sync they are extremely fast. Not quite as fast as the fastest TN panels, but VERY close.
Here's a good review of the AMD-tailored monitor so you can get a good idea of how it performs. It's what I use (I own an Nvidia card but it came out 1 year earlier than the Nvidia monitor and I couldn't wait). http://www.tftcentral.co.uk/reviews/lg_34uc79g.htm
EDIT: To answer your questions:
Ultra wide- https://www.amazon.com/LG-34UC79G-B-34-Inch-21-UltraWide/dp/B01LW5CGIS/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1517973492&amp;sr=8-1&amp;keywords=lg+ultrawide+144hz
Portrait- https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01HSABNU0/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&amp;psc=1
Not that I know of, but I haven't seen people complaining about motion blur with the IPS ones. The motion blur is mainly a VA problem I think.
Only problem is I don't think there are any current IPS ultrawides capable of 144hz even at 1080p, and the 100hz one's are pretty expensive. Have to figure out what's most important to you..Edit: NVM, there actually are some IPS that have 144hz, like this: https://www.amazon.com/LG-34UC79G-B-34-Inch-21-UltraWide/dp/B01LW5CGIS
Only difference is it's freesync instead of gsync. But if you're consistently hitting high framerates (above 100fps or maxing out), then losing g-sync probably isn't that big of a deal anyway. If you've got an AMD card then it's obviously better actually. It's also cheaper than the BenQ since it doesn't have the g-sync tax. If you want 3440x1440 though that definitely doesn't go higher than 100hz atm.
So you just have to decide whether you want 1440p and 100hz/60hz (depending on budget), or 1080p and 144hz, then decide whether you need g-sync.

The only concern with an Ultrawide 1080p is your pixel density/size/DPI over an Ultrawide 1440p.. also because it seems most Ultrawides come in larger screen sizes than 16:9s. A 34" 16:9 1080p monitor is going to be pretty tall and may have larger pixels than a 34" 21:9 1080p. But... if your only debate is between 16:9 1080p and 21:9 1080p, go with 21:9, especially with the 2070. If you do anything other game 100% on your computer then you'll appreciate the extra screen real estate.
I bought this 34" 144hz LG Ultrawide 1080p - and I love it. I came from a 24" Asus 1080p 60hz, so even that was a huge upgrade for me.

If you are going to drop the money for freesync or 144hz, consider bumping up and getting ultrawide. There was a recent post that showed the benefits of having one for RL. This is what I got. https://www.amazon.com/LG-34UC79G-B-34-Inch-21-UltraWide/dp/B01LW5CGIS
Lowest I have seen it is $499. It was on sale on ebay a couple of weeks ago for 499 when I bought it. And on Prime day it was 499 on Amazon. Now it's back up to 549.
I strongly recommend this monitor:
https://www.amazon.com/LG-34UC79G-B-34-Inch-21-UltraWide/dp/B01LW5CGIS
It's a 144hz ultrawide and if you look around you can sometimes find them for cheap
This is the monitor I personally use and LOVE it! They have a g-sync version as well but its a bit more expensive.

Speak for yourself. This is one of the best computer screens I've ever used and the curve on it makes it easier to use. (I've used both the flat and curved models)

You're in luck! There are several 34-35" 1080p 144hz ultrawides out there!
Examples:
LG 34UC79G-B 34-Inch 21:9 Curved UltraWide IPS Gaming Monitor with 144Hz Refresh Rate
Acer Predator Z35 35-inch Curved Full HD (2560 x 1080) NVIDIA G-Sync Display, 144Hz, 2x9w speakers, HDMI & DP
Edit 1: These are curved, will see if i can find flat panels
Edit 2: They all seem to be curved, but honestly I love a curved ultrawide. I own both a flat ultrawide and a curved ultrawide, and the curve is a must have. It's so wide that the flat panel looks distorted at the edges. The curve eliminates that distortion.
I have this and it's pretty damn awesome.

I recently got this monitor and it's great. it's 2560x1080 but you're already on 1080p so you won't notice a difference, and your 1070 will power it beautifully. 144hz, and ips as well.
Thank you (:

https://www.amazon.com/Samsung-24-Inch-Curved-Monitor-C24FG70/dp/B01M1DEEYP this uses a VA panel and has freesync too. fairly pricey and curved tho
Samsung has a VA panel at 1080p 144hz and freesync called the C24FG70.
https://www.amazon.com/Samsung-24-Inch-Curved-Monitor-C24FG70/dp/B01M1DEEYP
Have the same exact problem but on the older model C24FG70. It gets worse (permanently) the colder it gets. Raising brightness does help with the warm up time, but still nothing short of a hassle. Samsung warranty is garbo as well.

Previously i suggested AOC G2460PF because it was one of the cheapest and better than ASUS VG248QE (Amazon pricing)
If you able to find a good price for the below as they are top tier 1080p 24" panel :)
C24FG73/70 - VA = better color overall. XG2402/01 - TN = fastest response time (pure game performances)

This is the one I just got a few weeks back. It's a bit above your price range, but I promise you won't regret it. 144hz makes the game insanely smooth. I have an i7, 1080, and 16gb of ram so I have no issues with dropping below 144.
Good luck man
If you're looking into getting a 144hz monitor, you first need to make sure your machine can output fps higher than 144 consistently at the graphic settings you play at. You can turn on a fps counter in Steam. Make sure the fps isn't limited in Rocket League settings.
Most 144hz monitors cost +$200. You also can't use HDMI to take advantage of the higher refresh rate, you would need a DisplayPort cable or DVI cable. A few possibilities you can check out are below:
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00B2HH7G0/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_awdb_1ykdAb3X3PKNE
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01M1DEEYP/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_awdb_iykdAbF7T639T
Then make sure your display adapter properties enables the higher refresh rate on your new monitor. Test the refresh rate at https://www.testufo.com/refreshrate
Although 75hz seems pretty good at the moment. I don't know if you really need to upgrade now, but if you have the extra cash lying around that's up to you.
If you're talking about a general upgrade to improve fps or to play on higher settings, then you probably want to invest into a better graphics card. Look into a gtx 970 or gtx 1060 (or if AMD rx 480 or rx 580). A 1070 or 1080 is probably overkill for 1080p gaming. Those graphic cards have the power to support higher monitor resolutions like 4K. I would ask your friend for advice first since he's the person that made the computer for you so they know what's compatible and what's best for your build.
I feel like in order to play on a 144hz monitor at least on max settings with Rocket League you would at least need at gtx 1060. Your gtx 560 probably isn't powerful enough to utilize a higher refresh rate monitor like 144hz.
Also make sure your power supply unit has enough wattage to power all your new upgrades. You seriously don't want to skimp out on a cheap PSU because those can blow up and cause fires destroying your PC (or worse your house).
Overall you're probably looking at $300-500 if you're going to buy a new graphics card with a 144hz monitor, depending on if you can find good deals or if you buy new.
If you play FPS games then you should check out 144Hz monitors.
I personally suggest the Samsung CFG70. It is a fantastic 1080p 144Hz monitor made specifically for gaming.
This is just my own suggestion so be sure to check out other monitors and find one that is right for you!
Give this one a look: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01M1DEEYP/_encoding=UTF8?coliid=IBQNISZ2N4RJQ&amp;colid=1ZXG9MX5TWLZW
Its quantum dot, so its inbetween TN and IPS. It's not Gsync though, but with a 1070 you'd hit well over the 144 anyway. Maybe not with PUBG, can't imagine that game runs that well on any machine.

Probably the best 1080p144 monitor you can buy right now, VA panel, Quantum Dot and a curved screen (doesn't really matter at 24", but still something).
I got the CFG70 and a friend of mine with a 1070 also picked one up when he saw how it performed. Neither of our monitors required further calibration (using by-eye tests such as lagom.nl) out of the box when set to the sRGB profile.
The monitor is not perfect. Mine has that slight purple trailing thing, and I'm pretty sure it's using the older firmware revision. I don't personally use Freesync, even with my 480, as I found that I didn't like it. Just pushing a high frame rate has been better. The stand can also be a bit wobbly.
Friend with 1070 now has two Freesync monitors, having had an LG 4K before he got the CFG70, and is looking at getting another one from Samsung's lineup. What I am trying to get at is that a Freesync monitor with an NVIDIA GPU isn't a bad purchase. Especially when you can comfortably push 144+ at the desired resolution.
Hope I provided something useful. Whatever you go with, I hope you are happy with your purchase!
I just purchased my first 144hz monitor. Samsung C24FG70. It has connections for HDMI and DP. The HDMI can only do 120hz but has 125% rgb. I should be getting it in the mail tomorrow. My question is, should I expect to notice a huge difference between 120/144hz? I love vivid colors, and 120fps would obviously be easier to hit than 144fps, if there isn't much of a difference between the two, it would be worth it to stick with the 120hz right? Coming from a 60hz monitor.
What's your budget? The two best currently are the Viewsonic XG2401 and the Samsung C24FG70
I've owned an Asus VG248QE for over 2 years now, it has served me pretty well. However, the colors are quite bad and you need to find a color profile for it to not look absolutely awful.
I recently tried the Samsung CFG70 24-inch Curved Gaming Monitor (1080p 144hz 1ms response time).
https://www.amazon.com/Samsung-24-Inch-Curved-Monitor-C24FG70/dp/B01M1DEEYP
The colors on the Samsung monitor are much better than my Asus VG248QE due to the Samsung being a VA panel and the Asus being a TN. I would suggest the CFG70.

i have the 27" model and the colors are great, viewing angles are really good for not being ips and while the stand takes a lot of space out of your desk is really flexible
I tried the xb241h which is basically the same as this but with gsync. It was the worst TN I've ever seen with terrible viewing angles and awful color. Ended up returning it and getting c24fg70 for same price without gsync but VA panel.

I have this Asus monitor. I was originally running two of those and decided to upgrade one to a 1440p and went bigger as well. I thought it would look silly at first but I actually really like my setup.
I basically ended up using them just like you described. My desktop is on the 1440p, it is also where I obviously play games as well. The majority of my web browsing is done on the 1080p, simply because the 27" 1440p tends to be a little "too much" when just trying to casually browse. I also do the majority of the videos on the 1080p.
One is a VA display and the other is a TN. So I basically almost have the most obscure difference of monitors but I love it. Honestly at my casual sitting/viewing angles, the colors are not drastically different and the contrasts are similar enough. It's not like they are sharing any of the images I'm looking at to where it will matter anyway.
This Asus one rivals both monitors you listed there. A bit pricier compared to the two, but you'll get your size and only a 2ms response time compared to 6ms. Doesn't seem like much, but you can tell the difference.
Contact these guys and ask them to build a custom pc for you and give them this pcpartpicker link. They usually charge 50 bucks or so for assembly and shipping (they ship to the U.S) so you should be able to get the PC for $1,370. If you look up those specs on Newegg or Amazon, it will cost $1,800 at the cheapest.
This is a 24" monitor that I would highly recommend. Costs $140
this maybe: http://www.amazon.com/Asus-VS248H-P-24-Inch-Full-HD-LED-lit/dp/B0058UUR6E/
> this monitor is great with 5ms and an IPS panel. https://www.amazon.com/ASUS-VS248H-P-24-inch-Back-lit-Monitor/dp/B0058UUR6E
The one you linked is advertised as 2ms. Are you sure it's the same? Some of the reviews are saying it's an IPS panel and some are saying it's a TN panel.
ok so i have a triple monitor setup for my gaming pc i use the middle one for gaming mmos fps ect and the other two for internet itunes watching videos all 3 are different monitors but all around the same size but what i need help with is should i update two of the monitors to the same or should i buy 3 new ones they are relatively oldish the two newer ones are about a year or so old my middle one ive had for years its an Acer H243Hbmid 24in that the guy at microcenter told me to get but should i replace the two and get all the same or what would be the best option for me to do i come for help so thanks for reading and all heres the link to the stand monitor stand acer asusother asus
This is pretty popular here.
I'll address your three concerns:
**Note you didn't give me a budget so I'm working under the assumption that you want to stay around $650.
3)Here's one of the cheaper, yet well made, 24" monitors:
http://www.amazon.com/Asus-VS248H-P-24-Inch-Full-HD-LED-lit/dp/B0058UUR6E/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1407265755&amp;sr=1-1&amp;keywords=24+inch+asus+monitor
And its Asus so you have a quality brand behind it at a great cost!
I used https://www.amazon.com/ASUS-VS248H-P-1920x1080-Back-lit-Monitor/dp/B0058UUR6E/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?keywords=ASUS+VS239H-P+23%22+Full+HD+1920x1080+IPS+HDMI+DVI+VGA+Back-lit+LED+Monitor&amp;qid=1568339609&amp;sr=8-1 for a few years in portrait and it was fine.
I'd personally rather have a GTX 970 and a descent 60Hz monitor than a GTX 770 and a high-end 144Hz monitor, but I'm sure there are some that might disagree. The only problem is you'd have to either wait for or hunt down a 970 right now b/c they're in high demand.
[Here's an Asus monitor] (http://www.amazon.com/Asus-VS248H-P-24-Inch-Full-HD-LED-lit/dp/B0058UUR6E/ref=sr_1_1?s=pc&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1414476646&amp;sr=1-1&amp;keywords=Pc+monitor) for around $150 (w/ $20 rebate). You could use that extra cash to jump GPU levels.
For the mouse you don't need to spend a bunch of money to get something good, here's the mouse my friend uses. http://www.amazon.com/E-3lue-EMS109BK-Precision-Control-1600dpi/dp/B005CPGHAA/ His only complaint is he can't turn off the LED on it, which could be a problem if you don't like it. You could spend a bit more for a better mouse such as the Deathadder or Steelseries Rival (I personally own the rival, great mouse)
For keyboards, it's up to you if you want mechanical or membrane. Mechanical will be more expensive but it's nicer to type on and feels better. This is a very basic membrane keyboard, it works. Here is a good mechanical. (FYI it doesn't use the standard Cherry MX keyswitches most mechs use, although they still feel better then membrane). You can also look at Corsair's keyboards, Corsair's, and other manufactures mechanical keyboards.
For the monitor I'm assuming you want something decent, 1080p, 60hz? Here is a 24 inch 1080p 60hz monitor, you could look at cheaper ones too. It really depends on what you want. I use 2 23 inchers that I got for $100 and they work fine for my uses.
Good luck!
This is a good one, 24 inches, 1080p, 2ms delay. $160 plus tax with an additional $20 rebate. http://www.amazon.com/Asus-VS248H-P-24-Inch-Full-HD-LED-lit/dp/B0058UUR6E/
27'' is going to be tough to find in that price-range unless it's offbrand or refurb
> I'm using an R9 280x
You've got a few options:
Now, you also don't want anything over 24" and you don't want to spend more than 400€ (551,60$). So I'd probably go with the first option...a single 1080p 120/144Hz. You probably won't saturate that monitor but that's ok because then you won't have any frame tearing issues. You'd be looking at around 60fps for Crysis 3 on high settings, and you're pushing 100fps for BF3 on ultra. So you would be able to take advantage of a 120/144Hz monitor.
>And is there such a big difference between 60Hz and 120/144
Yes. It's going to look a lot smoother the higher the frame rate, so if you're playing something like Civ V you probably won't notice a difference at all, while something like BF3 or CounterStrike where there's a lot of movement and fast paced things going on you'll be able to see it.
This monitor looks like it fits the bill nicely. It's 24" 144Hz 1080p and comes in at $280. Sorry that it's an Amazon link, but you can just take the model and search it on whatever site that you want to and it'll probably be pretty close in price.
If you want other monitors that you don't want to game on, I'd suggest you just go with a 1080p 60Hz monitor since you won't be utilizing the speed. Something like this. 24" 1080p 60Hz at $180.
Unless you're planning on triple monitor gaming, or if you're a productivity guru you probably don't need a third screen. If you do want three screens I'd get three of the 1080p 60Hz one since you probably won't be able to take advantage of three 120/144Hz monitors with a single 280x.
This would be a good buy.
Oh wow the price jumped up! Yesterday it was around 170 USD with free shipping. Strange how it jumps around. Right now this is listing at 160 USD, although i cant comment on its quality personally.
:(
This one is a little more but it has a faster response time and is a bigger screen.
I've never used this Monitor but if it's anything like all the other asus monitors I've used, you will like this

ASUS VS248H-P 24" Full HD 1920x1080 2ms HDMI DVI-D VGA Back-lit LED Monitor https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0058UUR6E/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_awd_gUUHwbZFAC12R
Yeah. Here's one I personally see recommended a lot.
amazon
How about the Asus VS248H-P? Currently only $170 after a $20 rebate with Amazon prime. Not IPS unfortunately (not sure why amazon has the standard IPS disclaimer on it), but HDMI in, 1080p, relatively fast response time.
Some tweaking with settings (esp. by lowering "Trace Free" to 80/100) may be necessary out of the box to eliminate slight ghosting apparently, but generally reviewed positively by buyers. Actually you could go with the previous VS247H-P model is and that's ~$30 cheaper and supposedly 0.4" smaller diagonally.
If you wanted IPS you could drop an inch and go with the VS239H-P at $170. The Dell U2312HM is $205 at the moment, probably significantly better overall and picture quality and still very usable for gaming unless you play a lot of competitive high speed FPSs like Counterstrike.
Now I'm trying to decide if I should swap out my [two monitors] (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0058UUR6E/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_rignybTDZ164C) with these that I just got..
Someone give me some advice since I can't come up with it myself.
http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0058UUR6E/?tag=pcpapi-20
This one is an IPS, better than what Brain recommended, however a little more expensive.
Probably lower. It's a cheapo: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0058UUR6E
I intend to upgrade later.
I have had two of these. Nice clean monitors.

I like to think after 3 beers I'm unstoppable but after 6 I go downhill at games.
And Sabitins is apparently pretty new, at least the beer bar. It still smelt like fresh wood when I was in there. I found out about it from my preceptor when I was at my rotation.
I go to Wilkes so Gerogetown or Wegmans are my go to craft stop! Sometimes Georgtown has some pretty good buys out of the dollar beer bin too! I made a pretty decent craft 6 pack the other week from it. And if you want some killer ice cream, hit the Snack Shack that's like right next to the cow.
And your setup is much more colorful! One day I'd like some LEDs and a nice monitor stand to hide some of the wires and give me a smaller footprint.
As for the Asus it's this one!
I use this one. Below your price range but I think it's pretty damn good for Cod and PC.

Only thing I would change is look for a better monitor for just under $100. Something like this?. This monitor has been the highest rated for years. Been voted the best monitor for < $100 a good few times now. Its 24" counterpart is also only $25 more but is just as amazing.

I got the Asus VS248H-P 24-Inch Full-HD LED-lit LCD Monitor last year and have been pretty happy with it. The only complaint I have for it is that it does not move up and down, only tilts. It has DVI, VGA, and HDMI ports but only comes with 3-foot DVI and VGA cables. I have been using it with HDMI and it looks great after some minor fiddling with the settings. I bought it used for ~$100 and was very happy to see it come with the protective tape still on. Would recommend.
It is worth it to upgrade your monitor, but I think you should save up for a good one instead of waste 50 bucks on a bad one. is a good one for the money. It is more than $50 but [this] one is good for the price and I stand by what I said before.(http://www.amazon.com/VS228H-P-22-Inch-Full-HD-LED-Lit-Monitor/dp/B005BZNDOO/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1422217930&amp;sr=8-2&amp;keywords=1080+p+monitor) but I stand by what I said before
any benq/asus monitor made after 2014 is the best. you could spend $300+ to get the newest monitors but seriously just buy a $80 benq/asus that supports 1080p+60fps if its just going to be used for netplay. It can also double as a current gen console monitor.
edit: make sure your computer is compatible. if your pc only had DVI/VGA output, don't buy a monitor that only has HDMI input.
here are some you could buy
asus
benq - note you can select a 22inch monitor on this page and get it for $90. Most pro gamers play on 20-24 inch with some using 27.
you can also get some good deals on ebay. a lot of people like upgrading to 120/144/240fps or higher res after gaming for awhile so you can pick up their old perfectly fine monitor.
you can also visit displaylagdatabase website. It has a list of a good number of monitors (literally 100s but theres like 10,000+ monitors so), so if you see a cheap one you like you can check it on here to confirm. Asus and Benq's major niche is the gaming monitor so that's why you can't go wrong for them

And for those who played WoW, it feels "smaller". My knowledge of screens is limited, but I think when I run WoW on the macbook, the resolution is 2880x1800. I feel I can't go to a smaller resolution.
Another friend told me "if you are gonna do gaming, you need this monitor". But all I can see is the same "1920x1080" resolution.
-------------------------------
What is the advice from this community for a good compromise?
---------------------------------
I start to feel overwhelm by browsing topics I am not familiar with yet (remember, I come from a all-in-one macbook). I need enlightenment, I plan to buy a new monitor around black Friday (in sale or not, $200 would be preferable, definitely under $400). If you guys have heard of a similar situation, and could tell me something like "Yeah I have a similar story and went with this monitor XXX, I highly recommend this to you, {you don't need 4k, you need 4k}, the fps above 60 {matters, not matters} for what you seek for, the price is just {$250, $450 but really really worth it, $350 right in your range!}"
I believe that newegg is selling a sapphire 7950 for 189.99
Also there are much cheaper optical drives
Essentially the same monitor
When I get my new monitor I think the Crysis series will be one of my first playthroughs. I'm making a pretty big upgrade in monitor tech, from one of these if I recall correctly to one of these (though screw that rising price).
I'm pretty hyped in the color fidelity, refresh rate and GSync in particular, and the 1440p is just going to hammer all that home.
Crysis is gonna be super enjoyable, I think. From start to finish.
ASUS VS228H-P, Since you mentioned your eye is on 1920x1080p. I have the 23 inch version and this one is attached to my daughters computer.
I got 3 of these http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B005BZNDOO there cheap and amazing monitors. I have no complaints and you can't beat the price.
Couple questions, hopefully it doesn't scare anyone off:
Does anyone know any comparable cards to the Sapphire Vapor-X 7970 GE. It's at the price point I'm looking for and has the power I'd like (multiple monitor set up and hopefully crossfire some time next summer).
I purchased this monitor, however I kind of regret getting one at 60 Hz. Is there a definite difference between 120 and 60 Hz? If so are there any monitors that are particularly good monitors for eyefinity?
And lastly a stupid question, the above monitor has a resolution of 1920 x 1080, does that then mean that the ideal resolution for a multiple monitor set-up for that would be 5760 x 1080?
Well, you said gaming, but I'm not sure what games you'll play. If it's not something that graphics intensive, you could just get a space saver all in one this It's now as powerful as tower PC's but saves so much space.
Otherwise, try this Tower you may want to swap out the power supply or video card if you really need to hardcore game, and combine it with Monitor
Don't save money on the PSU, but get Seasonic G-550 which is $90 on Amazon right now. You can save little by getten cheaper RAM and HDD. Kingston HyperX is fine for $75 and WD Blue is under $70. You can get cheaper GPU, but you will lose in performance. For monitor I would get this unless you really want 1ms panel. This Asus has IPS panel which I greatly prefer to slightly faster response time. I'm not saying anything about your motherboard, since I'm not too familiar with Z97 models. Power phase is usually the thing that fries in cheaper boards when overclocking CPU so I would look into that.
I'm looking into the same thing. Have been hearing a lot of recomendations for the ASUS VS239H a bit over your price range, but it might be your best bet.
Driver is AMD's Radeon Crimson 16.5.3. It's non-WHQL, but AMD drivers are usually pretty bug-free.
My monitor is an ASUS VS239H-P.
The GTX 760 would be a strong performer if you are targeting a $250 budget. Also take a look at the R9 270X which is marginally slower than the GTX 760 but is sometimes $30+ cheaper.
The i5-4670k or i5-4570 (if not overclocking) are definitely the best processors for pure gaming (aside from very expensive enthusiast CPU's) However they don't fit everyone's budget, which is why a lot of people go with i3's or AMD's FX-6300/FX 8350.
For a 1080p monitor I strongly recommend an IPS monitor for better viewing angles and colour reproduction. A sample monitor is this one: http://www.amazon.com/ASUS-VS239H-P-23-Inch-Full-HD-Monitor/dp/B008DWITHI/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1395883809&amp;sr=8-1&amp;keywords=asus+vs239
You can find a cheap 60hz ips 1080p monitor for under $200, it is perfectly fine for gaming yet has excellent colour reproduction.
Here's an example: http://www.amazon.com/ASUS-VS239H-P-23-Inch-Full-HD-Monitor/dp/B008DWITHI/ref=sr_1_10?s=pc&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1396422066&amp;sr=1-10
Alternatively you could go all out gaming with a 120/144hz solution, but almost all of them are TN panels and as such have terrible colour quality. And lastly you can go with a korean 1440p monitor, if you have the money for it, and have the hardware to drive them.
Personally, I would pay the extra $40 for the ASUS VS239H-P. This one uses an IPS panel (as opposed to the other's TN panel) and thus has much better color reproduction and viewing angle. No speakers, but it has an audio out passthrough port. It does have a slightly slower response time, but 5ms (vs 2ms for the other) is not a big difference IMO. Especially for the better picture that you get.
If you want something bigger, I'd look at this one from LG. 27", IPS, 5ms response, no speakers but does have that speaker/headphone hdmi audio passthrough jack, $230.
How about this one: link
Yes but I would get the IPS one.
ASUS VS239H-P 23-Inch Full-HD LED IPS Monitor
and here is my unboxing of it
Yes, for $160, I own three.
Nice price, how would it compare to a Asus VS239H-P which is a similar price? Been looking to get a new monitor.
http://www.amazon.com/dp/B008DWITHI/?tag=extension-kb-20
20 cheaper with prime!
-no.
-no.
-nothing off the top of my head, but any 1080p ips monitor should look beautiful as an accompaniment to the XB241H, and should generally run sub $150 USD I believe.
edit: ASUS VS239H-P
That's not the XG2401. It's weird that is what it says in the URL because it is clearly a different product: ViewSonic VX2457-MHD
The XG2401 is more expensive than the AOC monitors you had listed: https://www.amazon.com/ViewSonic-XG2401-FreeSync-Monitor-DisplayPort/dp/B01A0ZRR50/ref=sr_1_2?s=electronics&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1500649906&amp;sr=1-2&amp;keywords=XG2401
It's also a better monitor. But that's why I suggested only getting 1 144Hz monitor, and the 2nd one being just a cheap 60Hz IPS like this
> For a cheaper motherboard
Those are both bad options. You need to keep a Z270 board so you can overclock, and to ensure it will be compatible out of the box with the 7700K. Apparently, you will want to avoid Gigabyte boards for the time being as well see why. Something like the Asus - TUF Z270 MARK 2 would suffice, and save you $50.
Yeah, fuck these monitors. I bought them, had issues on a 3 monitor set up and then returned them to Amazon because of this.
I would highly suggest these instead:
http://www.amazon.com/ASUS-VS239H-P-23-Inch-Full-HD-Monitor/dp/B008DWITHI
Cheaper and better, in my opinion.
Get this instead. Ips and the same price.
Entry Level gaming 60hz 1080p link $130
Enthusiast gaming 144hz 1080p monitor link $315
Entry Level gaming 1440p monitor Link $250
Each of these monitors have LOW <5ms response time, IPS panel, and great colors.
Or This one is the same price, 5ms instead of 1ms, but it's IPS (better color and viewing angles), it is mountable (vesa mount) and I've had one for years that's done me well (graphic designer, so color is a must)
1ms might be necessary for an intense FPS player, but I think (also as a Minecraft player) that better visuals are more important for creative types than a few ms. Besides, I used to do FPS games on 12ms just fine. So 5ms really isn't bad at all.
EDIT: And a surprisngly cheap 2560x1440 25" IPS if you really want to spoil the kid.
Your build looks solid. If you are looking for a monitor I would suggest the ASUS VS239H-P 23-Inch Full-HD LED IPS Monitor. I got it and I really like it, my only complaint would be the stand feels a bit flimsy but other than that its a good monitor.
If you have a copy of windows already you can install it with a usb and not get a cd drive at all if you wanted to.
Are you looking for a mice and keyboard too?
You probably wouldnt be disappointed with this. Good brand, LED so it isnt as hot but still looks damn good, and an IPS on top of that. I personally couldnt tell the difference between a 5 and a 2ms response time, but if you can or want it, then you could get the non IPS panels for like 30$ cheaper and itll have the 2ms response time. Id go with IPS though because it looks gorgeous on it.
This is the monitor that i plan to get for myself within a few months for gaming, as its 1440p and can be overclocked to be close to 120hz. Its almost double your budget though, and depending on your video card might not even be worth it.
I look at the refresh rate and try to get the lowest one because I like FPS. If your into fast pace fps games like battlefield 3/4 get the lower refresh rate. If you are into Starcraft or any games like that get a bigger screen. The_Russian has one that looks around about what you should be looking for. I would look here though, it has guides and you can adjust what you want on the side menu.
I've had one for a few months and I'm liking it so far. However, if you want a matte screen instead of the glossy one on the s2340, you can also try the ASUS VS239H-P
This monitor is cheaper and it has good reviews. Everything else looks good. You won't need a sound card unless you work with high-quality sound, motherboards these days have good onboard sound.
Some things to consider before opting for monitors like these.
Kind of skimping on the PSU, that monitor is a little expensive for only 75 hz. This one is cheaper and is 144hz. I would add a 1 or 2TB HDD.
https://www.amazon.com/Dell-D2719HGF-Response-Speakers-FreeSync/dp/B07J4SXNQ5 this is my main monitor, had it for 6 months with no issues, color is pretty decent out of box but i changed sum stuff around
Yeah, this one: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07J4SXNQ5/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_wymTCbYAEMKAC
Not to take away from the community, but Amazon sells a very decent monitor at 144hz for around your price range.

TN panel, so not the best colors or viewing angles. But it's 144hz, and though some people say 27' is too wide for 1080p (possibly blurry text) it really doesn't bother me at all.
I've been real happy with this one
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07J4SXNQ5?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share
My brother uses this one. It's a good monitor and Dell is usually pretty good about warranty's from manufacturer defects. It's 2ms though.
Edit : Works well with G-sync too.
For $179.99 I'd rather have this DELL.

It's 144hz, 2ms, TN with no curve. But the picture looks great for a TN, imo.

solid colors, good blacks and contrast, low ghosting, 1080p, below your price point, with freesync and it works with gsync.
I guess it kind of depends. Do you have a gaming monitor, mouse, and keyboard already? Strictly PC parts, I'd aim for $1,000 for a 8/10 graphical experience. Your monitor will really decide whether or not it's worth dropping that much since resolution and refresh rate determine a LOT. If you drop that much on a PC and only have a TV or a normal 60Hz 1080p monitor, there's a lot going to waste. Personally, I'd start off with a 144Hz monitor like this one.
I can build you out a PC online for what you're looking for. I just don't know what you might already have and what you need. Some people already have hard drives, some people don't have gaming mice/keyboards, etc.
Just don't underestimate how much CPU power Destiny requires. It is one of the most CPU intensive FPSs that I've seen because of the maps and AI.
This is what I got and I love it. It had one stuck pixel but I wiped it with a microfiber cloth and it goes away. Otherwise it's great quality for a 27" 144hz at a pretty good price. That's if you're not dead set on 1440p tho.

You can still use the monitor but I don't think it can utilize G-sync.
For FHD (1920 x 1080) , This monitor might be a good alternative.
Dell D2719HGF (144Hz, TN Panel, AMD FreeSync, 2ms) is currently $ 180 on Amazon.
Note: You might wants to look around on either r/buildapcsales for more deal or r/hardwareswap for used monitor.
[Here's the link.] (https://www.reddit.com/r/buildapcsales/comments/bd3lnk/monitor_lg_24gl600f_24_1080p_144hz_freesync_tn/) it was for a much more recent LG 24GL600F.
if you want a 27" model, I would go for this one when it's on sale.
EDIT: you can get the LG monitor for close to that sale price on google express, make an account and use the 20% off code. This one should come with monitor and some extras for... some reason? Not sure but I don't get taxed myself. It should come out to $157.

Thoughts on this monitor? Mine 8 yr old monitor is going to hell. Any suggestions under $250 is appreciated. Running a XFX 580 8gig.
Yes it does but in your case as your only using the monitor temporarily it should not be a priority. Freesync lowers input lag, smooths frame rates and removes judder, tearing.
Still if you were inclined, there is someone here on Amazon selling a used Dell D2719HGF gaming monitor for $162 or new for $219, that is a good deal. It has a 27" TN panel, built in speakers and an effective Xbox VRR/Freesync range of 20-60Hz or 20-120hz (if 120Hz out works with Xbox), that covers all possible frame-rates of Xbox. [Freesync must be manually enabled in monitor before use.]
Not all Xbox games work with VRR/Freesync the ones that are certified VRR in their capabilities are the ones that work best, it's a small but growing number, those not certified are a mixed bag some will work and others not.
If you forget about Freesync any 1080p monitor with speakers will do, any of those ones you picked out are fine, though the Freesync ranges on cheap monitors are often very limited and useless for Xbox.

This monitor is a steal for the price. I just picked it up for myself after having to give my wife my 2k monitor for her editing rig. And i really can’t speak to non gaming monitors unfortunately because both of mine are gaming monitors due to the fact that I jumped from 23.5 to the 27 inch. But yes I would definitely get a non gaming monitor for a secondary if I were buying both at the same time. Just make sure it’s still a 1080p or there will be a dead spot where the mouse won’t move from screen to screen and anything below 1080 will look like crap with a 1080 sitting next to it.
I'd go with used or refurbished on that budget, try Offer Up, Facebook Marketplace, Craigslits or Ebay. If you can extend you budget a lil bit, check out the Acer XFA240 (Has G-Sync for your GTX card), Sceptre C248B-144R or the 27" Dell Gaming LED-Lit Monitor 27" Black (D2719HGF)
This 27" Dell display is quite good and only $180. You need to purchase a DisplayPort cable for 144Hz though.

I really only play Street Fighter, Hearthstone and RPG games so no FPS's, so no need for a 144hz monitor.
I loved this one. Used it until I got my g sync monitor. It's usually cheaper than Amazon ha sit listed for, though.
At $100-200 you're not gonna get very quality monitors to match with your rMBP. However if you do get one, make sure you get a Thunderbolt to DVI cable and use that to connect to your monitor.
With that said, I'd recommend this. It's an Asus IPS monitor that's pretty good for the price.
Dell also offers a slightly better build with the same LCD panel here.

I bought on Amazon. are there any 144hz monitors that are IPS? 1080p though I don't really care for higher resolution.
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008DWITHI/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&amp;psc=1 Is the monitor I am getting. So you think DVI?

According to that article this card looks pretty good for my budget.

The card will probably be too big for me case though. Is there a budget case that gets recommended? The last cheap case I got had to be returned.
Interesting - this review complains of the same thing:

When I buy a monitor, I almost always stick with Viewsonic.
$10 MIR on Amazon if that's your thing: http://amzn.com/B008DWITHI
I have this monitor (bought it in February) and love it. No complaints.
> But I am curious as to why you went with the 21" over the 23".
Wasn't sure if it has HDMI.
HDMI is generally a problem with cheap monitors, as they're usually older DVI models...
Is AOC fine?
AOC for DVI.
Also AOC for HDMI.
Both IPS, but one's sadly one inch larger than the other. Hope that's not a problem.
Margot Al-Harazi, the Russian guy and the President's command centre all use this AOC monitor. I was delighted since I've just bought the same model. Totally recommended.
I have this one https://www.amazon.com/AOC-23-Inch-Frameless-LED-Lit-Monitor/dp/B00CPZJP7C
I wish i bought this one https://www.amazon.com/AOC-i2367Fh-23-Inch-Frameless-LED-Lit/dp/B009V8F700
I'm also an engineer and honestly having two monitors is really helpful for CAD and programming. I picked up two AOC 23" 1080p IPS monitors. The exact model is i2367Fh. Thin bezels, 5ms response. Got both of mine off craigslist for $180 but you can get them brand new right now on Amazon for $260. To connect both monitors I recommend one to run off HDMI and use the eBerry usb 3.0 to VGA for the other. I use it and it works great. Try to find it on eBay for ~$10 if you can.
&nbsp;
You could also get 2 of the I2267FW. Same thing as the one above but no HDMI connection, 1 inch smaller, and no speakers. Two of those will run you $200. You will however, need 2 of the eBerry's. Still will come under your $250 limit and can grab some cheap speakers if you need them.
(Tried to make a post about this but doesn't seem to go through, probably because it belongs here)
So I'm trying to narrow down choices for monitors under $150, been looking around and also thanks to Techsource's video I've got the four I think I want to choose from, and just wanted to see if anyone else has any feedback. All links are amazon as I have a giftcard Im able to put towards it, unless some crazy sale goes on soon.
Im not looking for anything larger than 24, and for the build I plan on I won't be going above 1080p resolution. The 3 non-widescreen monitors I know are super popular, but I included the widescreen because although I plan on gaming I am still in school and in a little over a year will be starting medical school so I would love a widescreen for productivity (though Im not sure if it would be worth a single widescreen vs Dual monitors, since this widescreen is only 23 Im not sure if it would be any different than the other choices).
Im not sure what to think about the VESA mounting options, as Im not sure if I would end up mounting a monitor so for now lack of VESA isn't necessarily a con.
Any feedback/advice is appreciated! Thanks!!!!

It's not "Borderless" but 2mm is getting close
That's why I was gonna go for these, pretty much borderless ones
This looks like its an upgrade from this AOC monitor, and actually seems like a decent upgrade. I didn't buy the monitor I just listed because of the lack of mounting and Display port. If the price of the i2369Vm comes down to the price of the i2367Fh I would definitely buy one.
I use a 27' model of [THIS] (http://www.amazon.com/AOC-i2367Fh-23-Inch-Screen-Monitor/dp/B009V8F700/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1398566771&amp;sr=8-1&amp;keywords=aoc+monitor) type. You might have seen it in some set ups even here on MacSetups. IPS panel with a 1080 display. Thin bezel but don't be mistaken as it does has bezels. This is a 23' and its worth every penny!
I'm using the ATH M50s for headphones, which I highly recommend, and the monitor is the AOC I2367FH, which I would also recommend.

AOC sells some really good IPS screens in your price bracket. A relative of mine has this one a or a very similar model:
http://www.amazon.com/AOC-i2367Fh-23-Inch-Frameless-LED-Lit/dp/B009V8F700/
At 23 inches, it's not the largest screen in the world, but the relatively high pixel density will make the image look very sharp. You want an IPS panel, because viewing angles and colors are just miles ahead of TN panels. In the past, IPS panels had issues with reaction times, but this has long been solved. I was really surprised by how good the colors looked. A couple of years ago I payed several times as much for a screen that's slightly larger and is better equipped, but isn't noticeably superior in terms of colors and viewing angles. This AOC really is a steal for this price. The only real downsides are its tinny speakers, but who's using built-in ones anyway?
Edit: Product images are lying a little: The bezel is actually quite a bit larger than that, even though it doesn't look like it as long as the screen is turned off.
Maybe this?
Check out some AOC IPS panels such as this. They have extremely thin bezels, almost non existent.
