Hey guys, so I posted here about a week or 2 ago about buying the Acer Predator xb271hu and got it. Now after playing games at 144 fps my friend also wants a 144 display but he can't afford an ips one, so can you guys help me choose a reliable at least, cheap, 144hertz 1080p display ?

Sorry, that this is a little offtopic. But how do you like the Acer Predator XB17HU? I'm looking to upgrade from my Dell U2412Ms to them.

23~ 24 inch, the XB271HU performs exactly as advertised, if you remove all the flashy gamer marketing. The design is f-ing horrendous this monitor would look out of place anywhere, looks like a 10 year-old's toy robot, especially when I enter my room and look at it sideways, otherwise it's pretty good and spoiler alert .....if you get it that non-existent bezel tho  @.@

Won't be using the stand, but the bezels would be perfect for multi monitors.
