Best 144hz monitor for the budget

[CosminGCole]

I'm looking to move from a normal 1080p 60hz to a 144hz. Budget is around £200-£300.

Current GPU is a GTX 970

Any suggestions ?

Thanks.

My basket at Overclockers UK:

• 1 x LG 24GM79G 24" 1920x1080 TN 1ms 144Hz Freesync Widescreen LED Gaming Monitor= £219.95
• 1 x Samsung C24FG73 24" 1920x1080 VA FREESYNC 144Hz Gaming Quantum DOT Widescreen Curved Monitor= £269.99
• 1 x AOC AGON AG251FZ 25" 1920x1080 TN 1ms 240Hz Widescreen LED Monitor - Black/Red= £299.99

Total: £812.43 (includes shipping: £22.50)
​

G-Sync monitors would be way out of budget, and you can't use FreeSync as you have a Nvidia GPU.

The Samsung has much better colour accuracy and contrast ratios than the other two (honestly one of the better looking gaming monitors in general).

Both the Samsung and LG have backlight strobing.

I sold my mint used AOC2460PG on Saturday for sub £250.

a cracking 144hz Monitor if you are happy sticking at 1080p.

They are around £320 new now from certain suppliers. 100% recommend.

Edit: it is also Gsync and I used it with a GTX 970. Brilliant Combination.

I was in a similar dilemma and ended up going for the LG24GM79G, mainly due to backlight strobing, it's pre calibrated and I paid under £170 for it.

Don't forget about the Viewsonic XG2401. That is a very good monitor.

Yup that and the asus were my other two on my short list. Narrowed it down to that and the LG, was a toss up really.
