Pick me a monitor?

waggythegeek

So I know I've done this before, but monitor prices on the last thread changed. I've got an r9 280, i want to run triple 1080, probably around 21"? and eventually i want to pick a VESA mount out for them, so that would be nice. Looking to spend about $250 total. is that doable?

Just a guy who peaked at building back in the days of the GTX 980. If you see me here, assume i have technical knowledge akin to a committed hobbyist builder back then. If something's changed, you'll need to tell me(nicely plz). I'm probably asking for help with the modern build scene since I have no clue what's going on.

Naah, cheapest 1080 monitors are around 85-90 so it would be closer to 260-270

Pretty crazy how the cheapest 144 hz 1 ms 1080 monitor I could find (AOC) is more than triple the price of the cheapest 1080 60 hz monitors ._.

1ms means negative shit. Cheapest 144Hz is around 2x the price of the 1080p60 ones https://pcpartpicker.com/product/PmyFf7/acer-monitor-umfg6aab01

Also cheapest 75Hz is $110 if you want to go that route. Will cost like $60 more.
