Need a new monitor

[QuantumBit]

Hi I'm building a new PC and I need a monitor for the build.

 

I need a 1080p or 1440p monitor (60Hz is fine) either in 21.5 or 24"

 

Thanks!

 

EDIT: I (going to) have the EVGA GTX 1060 6GB, and the budget is $200 US

Why not 1080p 144hz?

I don't know, what do you think is better, 60Hz 1440p, or 144Hz 1080p.

 

Also the budget is $200

For a 1060 I would go 1440p60hz at 27". Why limit your screen to 24"?

Because some people dont like having a larger screen?

My desk has this little overhead thing, also I don't want to spend more on 27" and my family doesn't like screens that big.

See my title

I love my 1080p 144hz panel, can't go back to 60hz now.

If you want a really cheap option this is what I have now:

If you want an option with FreeSync (useless for a 1060 but still):

I don't get why a large screen size wouldn't be beneficial unless there physically isn't room.

24 inches is plenty large for most everything

There physically isn't room anyways.

Yeah, my bad, the post didn't come up until I had already posted mine

@cdsboy2000 's recommendation(s) seem pretty solid

yeah, in my opinion i think anything around 34 is more than enough, 27 is a bit too big for anyting regular like playing games, web browsing etc. 27+ is more like editing level, videos, photos, stuff like that.

I can't seem to find the HZ anywhere, I'm assuming its 60?

Yep, probably the best budget 1080p 60hz panel since the bezels are really nice.
