Can anyone suggest me a good budget gaming monitor around 90-150 dollars? Preferably supports AMD freesync or has a refresh rate of 75Hz. There are many monitors but no good reviews or ranks on the internet for this particular budget monitor category. Any monitor experts out there please help !!

yeah it will be a good monitor for gaming (even tho you will get 75hz max) and media consumption

the size is not a problem for you? 

Id prefer a bit bigger of a display, are there any other recommendations? But if you can confirm that image quality is decent and it is good for gaming then that would be my pick

Its an OK monitor for gaming, but not the greatest for media consumption as the colours and blacks are quite bland. But it is a decent monitor.

 

For 195$ you can get the 144hz version. Its a bit out of budget sadly

Its a bit more expensive, is a 2 inch increase worth 50 dollars? unless I get the refurbished version.

it really depends on you, when i first got my 27 inch monitor i though it was huge, now  i am thinking about getting another since it feels small

I have a 23 inch right now and it does the job, but I broke it when I tried to clean the screen lol.

The linked monitor should be within budget

Yeah, Im kind of a value guy so a few dollars may count. Do you think that the monitor you recommended through the link is better than the 90 dollar one previously mentioned with the same specs but difference in screen size. The price is a 60 dollar difference.

You loose out on freesync and 15hz, byt that Little IPS monitor is very popular. Uts great value. The 144hz version of the monitor u linked is good, tte 75hz not so much

Grab the cheaper one, the IPS panel is just better almsot regardless.

 

Edit: Note: the cheaper one seems to lack Displayport. You will have to use VRA i believe to use freesync

Wait are you saying I need to get a display port adapter and buy a display port cable too?
