Cheaper 1440p Monitors

[mathmeister]

I'm about to go with the Acer G257HU for my GTX 1070 but I was wondering if there are any other decent 1440p monitors that are under that $250 price tag.

Asus PB258Q. i paid like $259 or something when they were on sale. just wait for them to go on sale. they usually do like once a month or something according to pc part picker. pretty decent monitors just really bright so you will have to adjust them. also have vesa. I ended up getting 3 of them

My Acer is already $250 so no point waiting for that

well. your looking at a $250 monitor that goes cheaper when on sale, and a more expensive monitor that goes to 250 so imo a better deal but your choice

There's not many differences between the two and isn't worth waiting for imo

100% SRGB and vesa imo is worth but like i said its your choice and you posted for suggestions on monitors around 250 so i gave a suggestion. and your automatically saying no so why even ask in the first place.....

 I was looking for something cheaper but whatever, not worth arguing over

I love it I would stay with it. Got it overclocked to 85hz refresh rate.

Just built my PC last night and got a G257HU and am loving it. Would recommend it for the price. The stand is not very good but if you don't fiddle with it its fine. The only thing that sucks is no vesa but I have some mounting tape I plan on using to put it on a stand.
