Best 1440p monitor under $300?

[MrAlecfrey]

What is the best 1440p monitor I can get under 300?

I have been looking at these, but I really can't decide. I am mostly an FPS gamer btw.

Which one of these should I get? If you have any other options leave them below. I don't really want a cheap Korean panel.

Depending on your GPU leanings, I would highly recommend looking at monitors with adaptive sync:

Going to 1440p will be a great gaming choice for a long time, and would be worth it in the long run to save up just a bit more to have the smooth experience adaptive sync offers.

You'll probably find that you spend less on GPU upgrades as a result......
