Built a new rig the other day, needed a 144hz monitor for my 1080. This looks perfect for what I needed, especially at that price!

Let's not go too crazy. At best, it's got okay colours for a TN panel, but it's still pretty bad compared to an IPS.
I had this for a while next to a Dell U2515H. It's not even close to being 'perfect' for colours.
It was okay as a screen. It was cheap enough at the time that I was happy enough with it, but there is much better out there if you have the cash. It's a basic, budget gaming screen. If you can't stretch anymore cash, it's good enough and better than 60Hz for sure.

I managed to get this on the prime day deal yesterday. With a sub £200 budget I was torn by 1440o or 144Hz as I couldn't have both at that price and this seemed to fit. Can't wait to get it now and finally use my 1070 nicely :smile:

For me, Yes. The LG Ultrawide isnt 1440p or 144Hz and I wanted a Monitor for gaming. Saying that the LG has decent reviews for gaming but according to these guys:
Make sure your GPU has DVI. Check the specs also regarding the 144hz, it'll likely only be via DL-DVI.

Bought this a week ago for the same price off amazon, absolutely stunning. worth the upgrade from 60hz even if you can't run all games at 144hz, still an incredibly smooth experience. Colours are perfect despite it being TN and it is the brightest monitor I have ever witnessed (recommend turning it down to 30% if you don't want to be blind by the time you're 40)

Bought this for £200 a few months ago. Well worth this money but 100% essential you adjust the colour settings. For anyone playing competitive online games I think for this price you really should get a 144hz monitor if you've never tried it!

THis is the best budget 144Hz Monitor right now.
