Ultimate setup on a Discount

I have been looking for a nice set of 3 monitors for a decent price for gaming with the size of at least 23" though I have been having troubles on figuring out whats the best price I can get on them. Currently I'm thinking about spending less than $180 on each of them but I have been hearing a lot about cheaper monitors for a much better price. Are there any suggestions on where I would go about to finding a good set? Also, whats your opinion on how much monitors have changed in the past couple of years?

are u looking for ips or tn panels?

Why would you even consider TN over IPS?

"gaming" some pple want faster monitors over quality of the picture

The OP's budget is $180. He's not going to get a nice 120/144 hz display with that kind of money.

I don't really care if it's 120hz, I'm planning on upgrading in about 4-7 years after buying anyways, I can't tell the too much of a difference between 60hz and 120hz in most games.

This seems like a nice choice, thanks for the link! I wonder why I didn't think of shopping at NCIX, If I find another great deal I'll make sure to post here in-case someone else is in the same situation. 

Earlier I have been looking at this monitor: http://www.amazon.ca/AOC-i2367Fh-23-Inch-Screen-Monitor/dp/B009V8F700 Other than the price, being borderless looks like a nice thing to have for a multi-monitor setup. Though due to my small knowledge of computer monitors I wouldn't know good it would be for gaming.
