How much do I need to spend?

I want a 144hz monitor, only 1920x1080. Not sure what I'm looking for in monitors really. How much do I need to spend to get a good price/performance ratio? Thanks

I'm looking for one too, similar resolution don't want to go too high (strain on GPU)

Another aspect whether you want freesync or g-sync.. that means locking yourself into that brand of GPU. Stupid idea this...ideally should be a standard, or monitors support both.

Also you've got panel types each have pros & cons ie TN better for gaming but IPS better for video and angle

Do you wany freesync or gysnyc monitor ? amd or nvidia. What gpu do you have ?

Lol I didn't realise this was a thing.

I'm AMD, 290.

I'm going to be gaming, my main reason is for CS:GO but I'd like some nice colour reproduction too.

Was looking at: BenQ XL2411Z 24" 1920x1080 TN TRUE 144Hz Flicker FREE 3D Vision 2.0 Widescreen LED Monitor - Black= £229.99

Whats your Budget and what size monitor ?

Cheaper the better I'm just looking for best bang for buck really, if that means spending a little more than so be it.

Would you be able to recommend a bunch at different price points? Id appreciate it!

Atm I'm 24" it's big enough but would go bigger, but not fussed.
