Budget high refresh rate monitor

I'm looking for a monitor that is below 200 dollars and has a high refresh rate. Right now I have a 24 inch HP 60hz 1080p monitor. 1080p is fine for me because my Nvidia 970 isn't the best.

Look on the used market, should find plenty of 1080p 144hz monitors, whose owners have upgraded to 1440p.

I only see your reply if you @ me.

I have a gtx 770 and use it to run an AOC 144hz 1080p monitor. You can regularly find them on amazon for 150-180$ and I bet you could even find a 165hz monitor these days for around the same price. I've had no issues with AOC tho (dead pixels ECT)

Used market really is your best bet here. You can regularly find pretty decent 1080P 144Hz+ monitors for ~$100 (depending on your area). I've even seen a guy near me selling a 1080p 240Hz panel for $150. You can find some pretty nice monitors on there for dirt cheap.

Many claim this to be THE CHEAPEST out there, so im guessing either go 2nd hand or save up more money.

The AOC 24G2 can be had under $200 and it's a great monitor. If you want something 27" 1440p the used market is your best bet.
