Help Finding A Budget Monitor

[AdvocateOfNyx]

Hello, everybody!  I was wondering if I could get some monitor recommendations.  I'm looking for a gaming capable monitor (60Hz minimum) with any type of display.  (I DO require 1080p and at most a 5ms response time)  My budget is about $100, but I'm willing to jump up to $130-$140 if need be.  Anybody with an opinion has a good one.  Thanks, everyone!

Get used.... seriously. I got BenQ 1080p 60Hz for €40 3 years ago and it was flawless. I sold it few months ago as I upgraded.

Where do you recommend I get used from?

I do like the AOC Newegg monitor, but what would be the real difference between these two monitors?

the main advantage of the acer is ips, it delivers better viewing angles than the AOC but at a higher cost

I see.  I'm assuming it'd be worth the $10?

[Pocketbird]

in most cases, yes, especially if you are sitting at an angle to your monitor

I'll be using this as my main monitor, with a 1650x1050 monitor as my second.  I'd say that the Acer would work for me.  I guess this question is answered, then.  Thanks!

I'll keep this in mind if my budget falls short.  Thanks
