considering upgrading my monitors (3 of them) to ones that support G and freesync

thehardwarehacker

hello all, ive been considering some potential upgrades for my setup, and according to my research, my titan Xs support Gsync, so i decided that i might get some monitors that support it. my current monitors are asus PA248Qs:

i got these years ago, because at the time, they were the monitors i could get that had displayport, and they are LED backlit. at current im considering some other system changes, these hit me as something that i could change, and potentially see the most tangible difference.

 

i would say my budget is about $300 per monitor,($1000 for all 3) as thats what i paid for these PA248Qs.

as far as total requirements go beside G/freesync, and displayport, and LED backlit, the monitor needs to be vesa compatible and weigh 25 LBS or less (rated total weight for my monitor arms) 24inch

 

if you made it this far, GREAT, thanks for reading, and i welcome your recommendations.
