What is the best gaming monitor I can buy?

[maks kuznia]

I was looking at a couple of gaming monitors... UltraWide, HDR, 1440p, 144hz or even 240hz and I just can't choose between them. Maybe someone can help.

My budget is 350 euro and I'm looking for the best monitor I can buy in that range (I live in the NL btw so only link amazon.DE or a dutch site)

The monitor has to be 144hz or more. I never experienced UltraWide so that would be pretty nice. I don't know if 1440p is worth it and my current monitor is 27" so I don't know if a 24" is too small.

Just link some nice monitors
Thanks in advance.

Please post your full rig specs.

There's little to no point in suggesting a monitor that will be held back by your rig or the other way around.

This one is 144hz for under your budget, only thing is its 1080p not 1440p, I couldn't find a 1440p or 4k high refreshrate monitor under 350 Euros, this is going to be your best option unless you want to spend more, this is a great monitor and it fits your needs and it should fit right in from your old monitor since this one is a 27 inch as well.

Since you own a GTX 1070, you're in the 1080p ~ 1440p if you wish to play on Ultra settings, anything higher wouldn't be the good IMHO.

With that said, i'd recommend this one:
PCPartPicker part list / Price breakdown by merchant

Monitor: Dell - S2417DG 23.8" 2560x1440 165Hz Monitor (€397.94 @ Mindfactory)
Total: €397.94
Prices include shipping, taxes, and discounts when available

I'm aware that's a bit above your budget, but you won't be dissatisfied with it, no doubt. It has G-Sync which will be great for your card.

Is this a good monitor?

The only issue I have is that it's 24". Is that a big step down from my 27"?
EDIT: my 27" is 1920x1200 8:5 aspect ratio btw

In The Netherlands it costs 420 euros

Is that a good monitor???

 

[manddy123]

While it is a good monitor, is not the best choice for you since it comes equipped with a FreeSync system, which will go to waste due to your GPU being a NVIDIA one. You should aim for G-Sync monitors.

Try this one instead:

Monitor: AOC - G2460PG 24.0" 1920x1080 144Hz Monitor (€379.90 @ Caseking)

G sync monitors are waaaaay too expensive. I already bought the AG241QX.

Well, hope you'll be happy with it then.

I thought you didn't want a 24" monitor, I found a 27" 1920x1080p 144hz monitor for the same price and listed it above, and its from a reputable brand.

I thought about it and 1080p doesn't look good on a 27" so 1440p on that is a must. And I'm very happy with the AG241QX. It has great colors.
