PHILIPS EVNIA 23.8'' 24M2N3200A/00 Price 140Euros. Link
Specs
1080p
IPS Panel
24inch
180hz

I can not find much info about this monitor maybe you will have more luck or you already know something about it. On the paper it looks good imo.

I can't find any reputable reviews of this model either, and in light of that, I'd recommend avoiding it unless the price is really great and you are willing to roll the dice on it. Yes, the specs looks good, but there are hundreds and hundreds of monitors out there with specs that look good yet when reviewed it turns out that a given unit has a variety of issues, not least of which is sometimes that the monitor doesn't even live up to it's advertised specifications.

If you stick to only models that you can find reputable professional reviews for on sites like Rtings, Blur busters, Monitor nerds, etc. then you will at least have a fairly decent idea of what to expect even though from one sample to the next, even with the same model, you may sometimes not get exactly the same result.

Yeah I agree, that is why I still have not decided, however monitors that are reputable and that I know they are good are much higher in price, at least in my country,
There is another one MSI that is the same price, specs look good and it is coming from lets say somewhat reputable brand so therefore it is a safer option imo, the only problem is it has FreeSync premium and it is not Gsync compatible, but I have Nvidia Graphic card. Now the thing is im an idiot when it comes to Gsync Freesync vsync and those things. Is it improtant for me to have Gsync on a monitor or I can do without it.
This is the monitor https://ananas.rs/proizvod/msi-g244...pid-ips-1ms-2xhdmi-dp-170hz-flat-crni/2236904
What do you think the first one or this MSI, btw brightness is 250 im used to 350 is it a big of a difference?

While I see some indications that the G244F might be G-sync compatible, neither the MSI product page, nor the Nvidia G-sync compatible page or any of the Freesync listings for G-sync compatible monitors indicates this unit is, so I would be very skeptical about it.

What country are you in?

So it matters if the monitor does not have Gsync? as for the country I am in Serbia

Edit: there is also this one that looks good on the paper, but a while ago I ve read somewhere that I should avoid those LG monitors

I don't know who told you that, but the LG ultragear monitors are some of the best panels you can get, depending on the model. Whoever told you that is somebody you should avoid taking advice from in the future. I'm sure there are one or two that don't cut the mustard, but most LG panels, especially the Ultragear models, range from decent to very good.

That one however, might not be among them, as there are no reputable reviews of it and usually when a product from a well known company has no reviews it's because it's either too new and nobody has reviewed it yet or it's been assumed that it's not worth reviewing for one reason or another. Usually because it's a cheap or very low end budget product. Without a review, I would take a pass.

As far as G-sync, no, it does not have to have G-sync but it DOES need to be G-sync compatible, which many, but not all, Freesync monitors are. And when they are, they usually say that they are OR there is evidence on one of the compatibility lists that it is. That one isn't on any of the lists and it's product page doesn't list it as being G-sync compatible.

And unfortunately there is no listing for Serbia on PC Partpicker so I can't really see what's available to you on there. Do you order from other countries or do you buy from local shops?

I would buy it locally, if I was to order from another country shipping to Serbia would be over 100euros, the msi one states that it is not Gsync compatible on the selling website it says that LG one is Gsync but I have not checked official. The Philips gaming one I asked the shop about Gsync and they told me that they will get in touch with Philips trough the email and come back to me afterwards, apparently Philips said that their Envia gaming monitors are Gsync compatible

Edit: I just double checked what you said about LG one and its product page, is this official LG page? (it says LG electronics here it is clearly stated that it is Gsync compatible) https://www.lg.com/us/monitors/lg-24gs60f-b-gaming-monitor, and all compatiblity lists only have up to 10LG monitors and what is weird to me all of them are 27 up to 34inch not a single 24inch lg monitor is on the list

Since you are very limited in your options, I'd say go with the LG model. I have four LG panels and have owned others. Three right now that are the same model for my main desktop and one attached to my garage PC. They are all Ultragear models and I've never had an issue with any of them. One of them is even a cheaper model and it's been totally fine although I don't game on that system so I have no idea how it would do with that but the others are fantastic.
