^ That VG248QE is not a good buy at that price point. $25 more can get you a G-Sync equipped Acer Predator XB241H. Basic, non variable refresh 144Hz - 24" monitors shouldn't really be considered past the ~$250 mark for either vendor since just slightly past that space is already occupied by Freesync displays, and pushing any closer to $400 gets you into G-Sync territory.
