Best 1440P 144hz Gaming Monitor for a Budget

[fludge87]

Hi. I am looking for a budget gaming monitor with a 144Hz refresh rate and 1440P resolution, or possibly Ultra-Wide 1080P. I have heard that the Pixio PX277 is a good choice, but I'm hesitant to purchase it because I've never heard of the brand, and know nothing about their quality or construction. I would like it to be about 27" give or take, with good color and response time. I use a GTX 1080, so G-Sync would be preferable, but not necessary as it jacks the price to the moon.
Thanks!

I love the irony of asking for an expensive part and then slapping on "for a budget" at the end

I'll assume you meant "the cheapest"


Here is the cheapest 144hz 1440p monitor currently. Also, a 75hz ultrawide 1080p. If you want 144hz ultra wide 1080p, price goes up to almost $600. I'm not sure if that qualifies as "for a budget" or not.

Haha, your assumption was correct. I simply meant the cheapest for the quality. And $600 isn't quite budget, so you were right again. Thank you for your help!
