Looking for a good 120Hz gaming monitor (not too expensive)

[jakekeane1]

I am looking for a 120Hz gaming monitor, and I am on a budget of up to around £250.
Can recommendations be linked please?
Thanks

I strongly recommend using "Half Adaptive VSYNC" (NVidia) or for AMD the tool RadeonPro and "Half Dynamic VSYNC" for games which you need VSYNC ON (screen tearing) but can't maintain above 144FPS (which is most or all).

This will then cap to 72FPS (VSYNC ON) then automatically disable VSYNC anytime you can't output 72FPS. You'll get some screen tear but not the bad stutter and lag that you always get if running VSYNC ON but not being able to keep out (it's a synch mismatch).

If screen tearing is not annoying simply leave VSYNC OFF and tweak settings appropriately to maintain say at least 40FPS average.
