$300 is a fair bit more than you need for a 144Hz. The Acer GN246 is decent but has meh colors (I have the 27" version, the GN276). My neighbor's system uses the Asus VG248 and I like that monitor much more. Better colors and build quality.

This insane deal:

 

Or the XG2401 Refurbished for $189

e: I just bought the XG2401. No tax too which is nice -- Arriving June 20th

 

e2: Was going to get the other one, but there was a 5% surcharge or something at the checkout page. Order came to be like $171 or something. And going to $189 was not much more so just said fvck it lol

Unfortunately I can't find locals selling GN246 and I don't like the VG248. I found these 2 relatively cheap the Viewsonic XG2401 and the AOC G2469PF which one do you think is better?

Why don't you like the VG248...? You gave no reason. Having used the monitor it's definitely the best sync-agnostic 144Hz panel you can buy.

Do you have an AMD graphics card?

It doesn't have freesync and cost more than AOC G2469PF, I've heard about the VG248 has better color but some said it doesn't effect much in-game.

Yes, RX 580 8GB to be exact

Lol, the guy bumped that ViewSonic to $199.

 

Too bad I got it for the 189
