Is it worth it to take a less than 200$ 1080p, 144hz monitor?

[Neymus]

So, in my future build, I'm going to have a RTX 2060, and I have a little bit of money left for the monitor. Since my GPU is more likely doing 144 fps, should I get a cheap 144hz monitor? I don't care about the size, in fact, I have limited space so 24" is like the perfect size.

Yeah you can budget less. Dell S2419HGF was on sale for $100 the other day. If you wait for a good sale you can get something solid.

Depends. I always do a google search and try and find some forum or reddit threads on people's opinions. Normally that is the best way. 

Obviously, more known brands tend to be more reliable in terms of their quality control

So brands like samsung, acer, dell are most likely reliable?

Only consider monitors that have been reviewed thoroughly.

 

Generally speaking the sweet spot for budget for monitors is around $400-$500, above that u dont gain a huge amount more quality or features, and below that u most certainly loss quality and some features.

 

if ur going to spend around $200 i'd highly recommend trying to get something on sale around the Christmas period that was originally around the $400+ price range. But again make sure u only get something thats been reviewed. Monitors are one of these items that spec simply dont give enough information to get an idea of how they perform. For example specs wont tell u anything about uniformity, and the advertised response times are all but a lie being very very misleading.
