Good Sub-$300 monitors?

[flibberdipper]

Eventually I'll get my new rig, which means eventually I can retire my poor old Dell monitor. Now, I'm not the best at choosing these things. So, I'll let my guidelines do the talking.

 

• Looks good
• Bright
• Nice colors
• 1080p
• 22 or 24 inch
• DVI and HDMI (DP is optional)
• Preferably ASUS or Dell

 

I would like for this monitor to look good with my future rig (link is in my sig under Dominator), and it will be paired with a black Corsair M65, and a black K70 with red backlights.

 

I won't see this until tomorrow sometime though, and please keep the arguing to a minimum.

I do like that one, but is there a similar one with HDMI? Other than that, this one is damn near perfect.

Why do you need DVI and HDMI?

Use an adapter...

Save up an extra 50 and get a 27 inch 1440p qnix pls panel from Korea they sell them on newegg and shipping is fast it has one dvi port that's it though so you can't use it for anything but your main pc

I just got an Asus VE248Q and it doesn't suck so far.  200$, has display port (no dvi though).  it's a TN pannel but the colours don't suck and the viewing angles are better than expected.

I would say getting a 1440p monitor would be a better option imo. So I'd personally recommend saving a bit more to buy one.  You can get refurb Asus PB278Q for around $400 from what I see or you can get a Korean monitor for around $350.

But under your requirements I'd go for the Acer h236hl.

Use an adapter...

I have enough adapters as it is (right now I'm having to use a DVI to VGA adapter, along with a bunch of extension cables). And I don't need it, as much as I just prefer to have it. And, since my video card has DVI and HDMI, I don't want mis-matched monitors.

Ok.

I'd prefer to stick to 1080p, and something 24 inches or smaller. Kinda small spaces, and I don't really want to get a montior that an Xbox can't drive at it's native resolution.

No, but 720p upscaled to 1080p on a 1440p monitor wouldn't look that great.

[needmorewood]

if im not mistaken 720p fits nicely into 1440p.

But remember, you're taking a 1080p picture and upscaling it to 1440p, after it's been upscaled to 1080p from 720p.

well you can turn off upscaling/ just run it at 720p
