Cheap but good 120Hz monitor ?

[AlexSmith96]

For my future high end build, I need help from you guys for selecting a cheap but good 120Hz monitor. I recently viewed BenQ GS2760HS, but I'm not sure of its refresh rate. Please let me know if it is a 120Hz monitor.

Please also give me a few side options. My budget is $300.

The two I always hear about and that people buy at that budget:

Both are excellent so you can't go wrong with either choice.

What about BenQ gw2760hs ? Can u tell me what is its refresh rate ?

No, the gw2760hs is not a 120Hz monitor. The BenQ XL2420TE is the best option unless you want a 27" monitor then you will want to go with the QNIX QX2710 Evolution II.

The QNIX is a 1440p resolution monitor that can be overclocked to a 120Hz refresh rate and is still in your price range.

I believe it has a bad response time. Check this out:

What about Samsung S23A700D ???

What is your GPU? Do you want a TN or IPS panel?

What is your GPU? Do you want a TN or IPS panel?

My GPU (currently) is GTX 660 Ti, buit would be upgrading soon to R9 290. No, I don't want a TN panel. (is the product i mentioned a TN ?).

 

[envy14tpe]

If you want IPS then it will be 60Hz. You can't get a 120Hz IPS panel.

24" or 27" ?

 

[AlexSmith96]

If you want IPS then it will be 60Hz. You can't get a 120Hz IPS panel.

24" or 27" ?

A 24 inch would work. Please give me all possible options for that. Also I'm not using the monitor for 3D purpose.

My roommate has a AOC monitor and it looks really nice:

Typically, for IPS panel monitors. There are a ton of 23" 1920x1080 monitors, but very few 24". So, you might want to consider 27". If I were to buy one monitor I'd probably get the one i listed above.

What did you decide?

It's a VA panel, no 120hz that's for sure.
