Which 144hz monitor is best for around £200? I won't go any higher than £220. I keep finding monitors in this price range, only to find out that they're years old. People seem to comment on the colours being 'washed out'.

Edit:
I have a Nvidia card so G sync monitors would be better

This is literally the only high rated monitor in your price range and that's only because it's on sale.

As far as color goes. IPS panels are far superior as far as color accuracy goes. You simply will not find a 144Hz IPS monitor for what you are willing to spend.

If your monitor budget is that small to begin with, you may consider asking yourself if your PC is even capable of running things at 144Hz.

The VG248QE uses PWM backlight control. The G2460PF uses a flicker-free backlight.
The VG248QE is limited to 60 Hz over HDMI, the G2460PF isn't.
The VG248QE doesn't have FreeSync, the G2460PF does.

You're right, he has an NVIDIA graphics card and can't use FreeSync. If the VG248QE was cheaper for it, that would make sense. You save money by losing something you weren't going to use anyway. However, it is not cheaper, it is the same price, and that's when it's on sale, so you lose the FreeSync capability and gain nothing for it.

Quality control and customer service are pretty anecdotal/vague; I haven't had any issues with my G2460PF. However, if that's a concern, the ViewSonic XG2401 is also a good option at the same price range:

The VG248QE is an extremely old model and there is no reason to buy it today unless it's on a steep discount. There are plenty of other options in the same price range that are far superior in basically every way.
