I bought myself an Acer GN246HLB which I'm very happy about. 144Hz, 1ms but it's a TN display. As I use an IPS BenQ as a second monitor I can 100% say I like my TN display better. Obviously, that is my opinion, therefore it can be different with other people.

You can find the lower grade GN that I referenced for $197 from NewEgg @ https://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod...642&cm_re=acer_gn246hl-_-24-009-642-_-Product and I can 100% recommend the monitor. It's 24 inches but you wanted it within the area and with the specifications I believe it's a good buy.

Hope you get a good monitor soon. Don't take my suggestion to heart since I've only had it for a week. My review is just about what it says on the tin and I got it for a good price.

Worth letting you know. Good shopping.

Yeah that one is a great monitor.

Don't be like me and spend over $150 of a 60hz monitor :/

I bought an Asus VG248QE and has done me wonders switching from 60 to 144hz if you are willing to spend $100 more I would 100% suggest this monitor. However, if you want to stick to 60hz I would suggest an AOC E2460S.

I really suggest the Acer monitor. The only problem is no DP only VGA, HDMI and DVI

I forgot to suggest that if you do get the Acer monitor I suggested is to:
- Check if your graphics card has a DVI-D port.
The reason for this is because
DVI-D offers the full 144Hz
HDMI offers 120Hz (although been told to transfer at better quality)
VGA offers 60Hz.

I'm really just looking to use it with my PS4 and record gameplay with an Elgato.

$190 AOC 144hz 1080p CLICK HERE
$190 Acer 144hz 1080p CLICK HERE
$130 Acer 60hz 1080p CLICK HERE

The $190 ones are the exact same 1ms respons with 144hz and 1080p, but they're LED not IPS

Thanks for the reply. May go with one of those.[DOUBLEPOST=1520777907][/DOUBLEPOST]Still looking! I'm using this for a PS4 + Elgato recording, so it must have a fast response time along with 144h, 1080p, and some kind of HDMI port.

Do not take my suggestion with a monitor. PS4 pro can only support around 60 frames so it's not worth putting a tonne of money for something that'll bottleneck your console.

I would recommend something like this: https://goo.gl/GDmZKt

The reason why I recommend the 23.8 inch is because 25" is too big for 1080p quality and is more likely to strain your eyes more.
