Hello,
I play CS:GO quite a lot and my Acer monitor only has 60hz of refresh rate. I usually exceed 60FPS in-game, and it's pointless when it surpasses 60 FPS. I want to be able to notice the higher FPS, so I want to get a new monitor with 120hz or 144hz.

I was wondering if anyone has any suggestions for a new widescreen 1920x1080 monitor that has 120hz and is really cheap, or a 144hz monitor that is a little more money but is worth the extra money.

My budget is $250.
Thanks, looking forward to hearing your suggestions! 😀
 
Spot on. Okay, so what you'll need is a 144 Hz panel, but do you have any other requirements/features you'd want as well?

Currently a very popular choice for shooters:

thanks for the response. I was thinking of that monitor, but I am deciding between that one and this one: http://us.aoc.com/monitor_displays/g2460pqu
