Cheap 144hz Monitor

Hi Folks,

Does anyone know where I can find a cheap 144hz monitor? Price budget of 200 euro

This is as cheap as you will get. Should be a solid panel. You would have to pay a bit more for IPS.

I'm in the market myself. Looking at this one as I'm replacing at 27 inch, I want to keep that size https://www.amazon.co.uk/Acer-KG271Cbmidpx-Monitor-FreeSync-ZeroFrame/dp/B07B3Y3Q2N/ref=sr_1_4?crid=2V7KNSEDFB23W&dchild=1&keywords=144hz+gaming+monitor&qid=1590016083&refinements=p_72%3A419153031&rnid=419152031&sprefix=144h%2Caps%2C135&sr=8-4#

I wouldn't be crazy about TN panels.

IMO IPS > VA > TN.

That doesn't mean every IPS is better than every VA or TN but in general the colour reproduction is a lot better than TN. Especially at 1080p 27" inches the colours and contrast are not going to look very good on a TN panel. The response time is the only advantage.

Ended up going with this: https://www.overclockers.co.uk/msi-optix-g271-27-1920x1080-ips-freesync-144hz-1ms-widescreen-led-backlit-gaming-monitor-mo-00u-ms.html

Went for IPS after a bit of research. I do a bit of photo editing so colour reproduction mattered. Found it difficult to find a 1440p monitor with similar stats without breaking the bank.

I use a monitor arm with it which is lucky for me because apparently the stand is shyte.

Buyer's remorse now huh

That looks great. 144hz, 1440p, 1ms response time, IPS. Almost too good to be true. You regret getting it?

A massive limiting factor at the moment is what is actually in stock

I only regretted getting it seeing you posting that cheaper monitor, but I failed it see it's 1080p and not QHD. Now I feel ok again lol. The screen itself is brill imo. And yeah I went with this after weeks of looking around and availability did factor in.

There was a weird flickering thing with my screen at first. I was using the old DVI cable I used to use with a my BenQ XL2720T. Turns out just using the DVI I got with the new screen fixed that. Odd.
