Hey guys! 

     So I need a monitor for my gaming build, what is a good monitor for gaming that is under $180? (yes, I am on a budget build)

                                          Thanks,

I currently use the sceptre c24, it has a VA panel, 3ms, 144hz, 24 inches for 150 USD (when it gets back in stock), and I have never had an issue with it, and I haven't tried to overclock it but according to a LTT review, it can overclock to at least 180hz. The only thing about this is that the stand is a bit wobbly, but you probably wont notice that unless you type insanely hard.

Laptop: HP Spectre x360 13t, i7 8565u with 16 gigs, 512 gig  nvme ssd, UHD 620 4k

Other laptop: Acer Chromebook cb3 431 with 4 gigs, celeron n3060 with hd 400 and 16 gigs eMMC soon to be a minecraft server?

Remeber to tag people or else they wont see your post.

You could get 144fps on intesive games on low settings like modern warfare, and medium/high on less intensive themes, and on higher settings 110 fps
