I'm in the market for a new monitor to incorporate into my PC setup and would love some recommendations! My budget is as low as possible, but I understand if I need to spend a few hundred dollars for quality. I'm flexible on size; my current monitor is around 24 or 26 inches, so anything around that or larger is fine. One of my main priorities is color quality, so I'm interested in OLED or any display technology that provides great color. Ideally, I'm looking for around 244 Hz refresh rate, but I can settle for 144 Hz if necessary. As for resolution, 1080p works for me right now, as I'm not looking to invest in 4K gaming just yet. Any suggestions?

Don't forget to consider 1440p! There are great options that sit between 144Hz and 244Hz. I recommend the AOC Q27G3XMN, which is a 1440p at 180Hz with Mini LED tech. It gives a similar experience to OLED but is way cheaper.
Hey! I recently upgraded from a Samsung 22-inch IPS at 75Hz to an Acer Nitro XV272U X1, which is a 27-inch, 1440p, 200Hz monitor. Honestly, it feels amazing! Definitely check it out if you're interested in a boost in quality.
Ooooo, that sounds awesome! I'll definitely take a look at it, thanks! :3
I got the Odyssey G4 (G40B), which typically goes on sale for around CAD 200. It has a 27-inch 1080p screen and supports up to 244Hz refresh rate. I've had a good experience with it and love the ergonomic adjustments. On the pricier side, I also have an ASUS TUF that’s 2K resolution and around CAD 300-350 on sale, but it lacks adjustable ergonomics, which is a bit annoying.
Aha, that's good to know! I'm looking for a second monitor too, so I'm keeping all options open, especially cheaper ones.
Thanks for the tip! I'll make sure to add that to my research list. I'm planning a project PC build next month, so this is super relevant.
