Is this a good monitor?

So, I have been looking at this monitor, should I get it? If not, what should I get?

Any idea why its so cheap? A little skeptical about it. Also, it says it has support for 144Hz, does that mean it doesn’t come as 144Hz or does it just mean I can switch to 144 or 120 or whatever I want?(Sorry don’t know much about monitors)

@_d0nut Buy one of these and call it a day. https://pcpartpicker.com/products/compare/PmyFf7,ZBZ2FT/ Acer if you have an NVidia GPU. AOC if you have an AMD GPU.

250 for a 144Hz monitor isn't cheap really. It's definitely one of the better 1080P 144Hz monitors. 

 

It comes out of the box running at 60Hz and you have to manually change it in your OS to make it run at 144 Hz. You need a DVI Dual Link cable/HDMI 1.4+/DisplayPort 1.2+ to make it run at that speed (which shouldn't be an issue). Yes, this monitor supports 120Hz but I'm not sure why you would use 120 Hz.
