There is no "best" one brand. All can have good and poor models in a certain segment. Your best bet is to figure out what features are most important like:

-Size
-Input options
-Brightness
-Response time
-Height adjustibility
-Bezel thickness

Then from there start shopping in your price segment. Also, read reviews if they are out there for the candidates you have narrowed down. You may find that a $120 monitor from one company may actually a better performer than a $140 monitor from another. Also just FYI there are only three or four OEM LCD panel makers out there. LG and Samsung are two of them. So you can buy a BenQ monitor that actually has an LG panel for example. Also remember that there are excellent alternative panel types to...

The guy above mentioned NEC, but they really aren't that popular anymore, at least in the North American market because they are overpriced compared to the competition (just look at the prices on NewEgg of NEC...wow). I'm surprised they are still in business. They were among the best when CRTs and early LCDs were out, but times and competition change.

Dell and Ben-Q both provide quality products. I don't currently own any of their products, but they are both very established companies.

I have 2 Acer monitors and have not had any problems with them. The ASUS and ACER screens are made by the same company.

I would avoid companies no one has ever heard of. I would by from any of the brands you mentioned. At $140, they are all the same.

Of those two, the only difference is the LG panel has a slightly lower pixel pitch at 0.2478mm being a slightly smaller panel at the same resolution. The BenQ's is 0.265‎0mm which means the LG's display will appear a little sharper in text quality and image quality as well. Otherwise they have the exact same specifications and input options. Based on pixel pitch, I'd go with the LG hands down. You would not notice much difference separately between a 22" and 23" as far as screen size itself.

As far as those others you link below, that AOC's stand is flimsy and people have complained it causes the monitor to shake too much even when typing on a desk. I'd rule that out just because of that. And your two ASUS monitors show out of stock. I'd not recommend ASUS anyway as my experience with them has been poor quality control and dead pixels specifically.

If you have to choose a monitor based on brand which would you prefer from LG, Dell, Smasung, AOC, Acer, Benq etc.

10tacle had some bad experiences with Asus monitors. Whats your opinion about LG or Samsung because the two main original panel manufacturers are Lg and samsung. Most commonly other brands use panels of LG or Samsung and sale them under their brand name.

Everyone will have a bad experience with brands at a certain point. I have a 65" Samsung TV that I am not thrilled about, so does that mean that no one should buy Samsung? I have had a Asus monitor and I had not problems with it. What I do know, is there are only 2 companies that make the very high end monitors for gaming. Those are Acer and Asus. Samsung are the king of TVs, but they don't make a lot of gaming monitors. But Acer and Asus do.

You kinda already made your point. The panels are all made by the same people, so they are all the same. Especially for a $140 monitor. The only thing that might make a difference is the refund or return policy of the companies and I would be more focused on the retailer's return policy instead of a manufacturer's warranty.

You are WAY too concerned about this issue. I would look for the specs you want, and buy the cheapest one available.

That monitor will be just fine. But if it were me, I would not buy a 60hz monitor. I don't know what GPU you have, but a high refresh rate monitors are light years ahead of 60hz.

I don't know how firm you are on your price or how product pricing is different from where you are from the States, but this Acer refurb is a good monitor for the price.

I would even sacrifice potential quality for a higher refresh rate and go with this AOC. If there is a problem, it can be returned (I guess)

I've had LG, Dell, and Samsung (and still have them all in use). For me, it would boil down to which is the best deal at the time, especially at your price point. Again, remember that LG and Samsung actually make the LCD panels for other monitor makers like Dell, AOC, Acer, and BenQ.

Regarding my experience with ASUS monitors, you can read reviews out there from buyers on Amazon and NewEgg (US website versions) and read for yourself on the amount of people reporting quality control problems (dead pixels, backlight bleed, etc.). My experience was with not one, not two, but three $500+ 2560x1440 ASUS monitors with problems, returning them all and going with Dell. Case in point, ASUS ROG Swift PG279Q. Note the 22% of buyers giving it 1 or 2 stars only. I mean we're talking nearly one of every four purchasers reporting big problems! That's not a good sign:

Yes you're right. Based on many reviews I'm finally going to settle down to any one from these two. The service of LG is good in my area. Please give your final opinion which one to choose-

What percentage of people that are satisfied with a product leave reviews? So it is not really 1 of 4 purchases, just 1 of 4 reviews. I am really not advocating for ASUS or trying to argue with you as I can definitely respect people that have issues with products. I can only speak to my personal experience. I am quite certain that on this site everyone has horror stories to tell about every major brand for PC components. But it is very nice that we live in a era where people can get together to find out what experiences were with certain products to help aid in purchasing decision.

The main point here is at the $140 price range, the brand really does not matter.

Well that's a good point, but the only thing that is consistent across the board is reading customer review experiences, especially ones who are verified purchasers (which Amazon only allows anymore). Is it scientifically accurate? No. But what you can do is compare problems on Amazon reviews among other monitors as well for consistency. In this example, the ASUS monitor has a higher report of problems than competitors in the same price range.

But yeah, at this price point, it doesn't much matter. Heck I've spent less time pondering which CPU and motherboard to buy, lol.

Like everyone has said you have to narrow down the category. For 1080p in your price range BenQ is going to be your best bet. For $150 1440p they're all going to be crap, relatively speaking. If you wanted the best of the best no matter what the price, its some company i've never even heard of but apparently they make the best monitor money can buy (its a 5k OLED I think) runs about $5k, can't even remember the brand. Anyways for most gaming PCs high end monitors are almost always Acer or Asus. I have 2 Acers now (Basic model and a Predator X34) and plan to buy another 1440p 144Hz Predator soon to replace my G257HU smidpx.
