What are the Jow Forums recommended monitors? I'm looking for something 144hz with minimal input lag.
I know the ASUS VG248QE is supposedly okay. Anything else?
Whenever I find a monitor that seems reasonable it has some dumb "gamer" design or the colors look like the movies facing the sun in the front window of a blockbuster
Hijacking your thread. I also am thinking about a new monitor (if I can make room on my desk). I need a monitor, something decent but nothing necessarily remarkable, that I can flip vertically. It really, really sucks viewing high resolution vertical images on a horizontal screen. I can't see the fucking details.
Any recs?

Pixio PX277. Swap out the DP cable they give you, it's shit.

I just use a fucking tv, put it in game mode, and fucking calibrated the colors, sit on my couch with shitty $1 wireless keyboard and mouse, and I'm fucking happy.

Dell Gaming Monitor – S2417DG 1440p, 144hz, g-sync 1 ms response, comes in 24 or 27 inch
this is a good monitor but it's overpriced for how old it is as this point. I bought one 2 years ago for 30 bucks less.

>I know the ASUS VG248QE is supposedly okay Pretty bad colors out of the box, contrast ratio of 700:1 once calibrated (bad even for a TN). Its actual response time is 4ms and the input lag is 13.3ms (average for a TN)

Viewing angles, contrast, and saturation are far more important than Hz, polling, refresh, blah blah blah.
it's shit that the every monitor with the specs i want (1440p/IPS/gsync/144+hz) is the same AUO panel with the same super sketchy QC.
got one from amazon on black friday and was greeted by a lovely dead pixel, couldn't exchange it since it immediately went OOS. every other company has weird "you turn it on you bought it" policies and no chance you get a RMA or one or two dead pixels or backlight bleed/IPS glow blowout.
so now i'm stuck waiting for amazon to get it back in stock for a reasonable price.
seems like every other person wants this spec, but manufacturers keep trying to push the 4K meme instead of creating a rival to the shitty AUO panel.

Samsung c24fg73. The top 1080p monitor. VA panel 3000:1 contrast deep blacks 144hz Low input lag 1ms 24" the sweet spot of 1080p + curve Minimalistic and elegant design unlike the gayming aesthetic monstrosity
and is cheap around 260euros.

I think I saw this on newegg for Black Friday, I thought it was a hell of a deal, but I have no clue who supplies MSi with the panels, compared to the other FreeSync monitors that were going for $350+ I'd say you did breddy guud, hope you got a warranty tho
