I need help with picking a monitor.

Hi, so I need help with picking a right monitor for me. I am building a 900-ish $ PC, which is my first one and I don't know which monitor to pick. My budget is around 100-125$ and it should be around 24-27". I game and light edit videos. Thank you in advance.

Hey bro,

 

I would consider checking out the Acer R240HY bidx. It's 1080p 60hrtz and has almost no bezel on the sides. It also has a nice looking metal finish. It also has very good reviews on amazon.

Thank you on Newegg it's 200$, that's the much, but on Amazon it's 130$ so thank you.

Only monitor I know that is pretty close to this price is $10 over budget gives 75 hz, and would be quite good for editing

Only thing I could also add is maybe just wait for like an extra $50 or so to get a 144hz monitor that would make the difference. If not that monitor I reccomended, or an ips monitor at 60 Hz is also fine.

That monitor you posted is quite nice of a pick up, but since I know you'll be editing IPS monitors are perfect for that aspect so here are a few to look at within the price range you asked for with a sleek feel

No problem at all, just best of luck with the gaming, and editing. Was a pleasure to help you

The Acer @Cool Computer Dude recommended looks like the best to me. IPS or VA is a must for video editing, it seems. Though The 3 IPS ones @Haeking listed are similar and aren't bad choices. Though I have had bad experiences with HP's newer budget models. Not that generation though
