Anyone got any recommendations for a 144hrz 1440p monitor for $300 or below?

Why not 1080p 240hz? Or 1440p 100hz 21:9?

Is 1080l 240hz better visuals than 1440p?

It's better for gaming, what's your CPU/GPU and what kind of games do you play?

 

The Ultra wide is just relatively cheap if you're in the US, and gives you better visuals for certain games like racing games, or just has more pixels in general if the game supports ultra wides.

If you play a lot of fast paced games the 240hz display is going to be the most useful, but whether some of those games will actually run at 200+fps is a different story, more than likely you're only able to hit 100-150fps with that CPU, and game engine limitations.

Something like CS:GO is going to run at 300fps without an issue for example.

I'd wait for Ryzen 4000, and then see what kind of memory it supports, Ryzen 3000 can already scale with up to 3600mhz RAM

 

This one's only $230.

Otherwise I'd save up a bit more and get this 120hz ultra wide, because if a game supports it well, it's great, and if not, then you can just run games in 16:9 and it's still a 120hz display. Or if you watch a lot of movies the ultra wide is likely worth it.

Well CS:GO does 300fps on a powerful computer not something that came out when CS:GO came out.  144fps and above at all times is all you need.
