So I have been on a search for a good monitor that is under the price point listed above at the top. I would like one that is:

- 1920x1080 (mostly going to be doing 1080p gaming, plus I have a 1080p monitor from Dell already. Yes, it will be a dual monitor setup.)

- 6ms response time or under

- IPS LED, LED Backlight, IPS

- 19 inches - 23 inches

 

Optional:

- Easy to use controls

- FreeSync

 

Do Not Want:

- Speakers

- Color of monitor to be White

 

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B009V8F700/ref=twister_B01MEHQ1QK?th=1 AOC i2267Fh - This is the Amazon listing, but I see one on Craigslist going for $100 dollars. Steal?

 

http://www.bestbuy.com/site/lenovo-li2264d-21-5-ips-led-hd-monitor-black/5203101.p?skuId=5203101&ref=212&loc=1&ksid=1d9afb59-18a9-4269-85b2-e812d234ad1d&ksprof_id=8&ksaffcode=pg200316&ksdevice=c&lsft=ref:212,loc:2 - Though it does have 7ms and not 6ms, it comes with an HDMI port, virtually bezel-less, and it is very cheap on Best Buy. (What?! Best Buy is selling cheap monitors?!)

 

https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824236358 This LED Backlight monitors has a 1ms response time which is great. So is the price. But, i'm not sure about the refresh rate. 

 

If you have any suggestions, feel free to show some! Thanks!

this cost 199  LG 25UM58-P 25.0" 75Hz, its a good panel for general use and gaming.  

When I looked it up, it brought up a curved monitor. If that's what you were trying to show me, I cannot do curved monitors.

It's not curved, just ultrawide (it has roughly the height of a 22" display, but about 1.5 times the width.

 

The AOC panel looks good. 100$ for it second hand is a decent deal. When buying second hand, ways check in real life to see if there are any dead pixel

 

I've never seen any of these monitors in real life though, so can't really specifically comment on anything.

I wouldn't be able to do ultrawide anyways as if I had my Dell monitor and that LG monitor together, I would not have room for my desk space.
