Which monitor should I get?

Paul..

Hi 

 

I hope you are all well. I am currently building a new pc (ryzen 5 3600 with 5700xt) and I am also in the market of purchasing a new 144 hz gaming monitor but I am stuck between two. I am not sure which one is better as I am planning to be using this monitor as my main and it will be used mostly for gaming. Also if these monitors aren't good or you can recommend a different one (anything less than $260 CAD) that would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for taking time out of your day to read :D

I think I have that BenQ one (XL2411), the P is absent though. The colours are very washed out, though response times on the UFO test are very good. Also keep in mind you have to use DVI to make full use of the 1080p 144hz on this display, the 5700 xt lacks that I believe.

 

If you're not hyper competitive, I'd recommend the LG over the BenQ for the freesync support. (I've been told it adds some latency when enabled, though only those extremely sensitive to it would notice)

Thank you so much for your response, help and time  :D
