Best gaming monitor and best bang for buck gaming monitor

Best Gaming Monitors 2018 [144Hz, 240Hz, FreeSync, G-SYNC, HDR]

Thoughts on the above and also, what is the best bang for buck screen at the moment?

I see there is no mention made of the resident favorite, the Dell S2417DG S2716DG.

How much buck do you have? And how big do you want the bang to be?
Value for money a 24" 144hz would be easier on the wallet for sure.
The Dell S2716DG would probably be the best midrange (size wise) option.
I had the Acer XG270HU, but a friend's Dell S27 felt smoother. Suppose it depends if you are AMD or Nvidia....
I went from the Acer to the LG 34UC79 (2560x1080 144hz), and it's certainly not as crisp/snappy as Acer (1ms vs 5ms) but I was unable to move back to the 27" afterwards. The size really does provide a unique gaming experience.

Meant S2716DG (post fixed). I think the QHD on a 27" would be better than on the 24", added to that that I am in the NVIDIA camp, so the GSYNC support has me sold. Currently option 1 on the list, funding plans already launched.

Have this Dell also and very happy with it and my TI as a combo. Max settings on all games and smooth as can be.

The Dell is only the resident favourite because it's basically the only GSync option under 10K (until @PsychoticKing imported those Predators). In a world where you can get other GSync monitors from other companies for similar money it's far from being a winner. In fact it's the basically the only local QHD GSync solution considering the PG279Q is out of stock.

If we had a choice of Acer and Viewsonic and others the Dell wouldn't be king like that. Nor even if the XG270HU could always sell at that crazy clearance special Rebeltech had it at a few weeks ago.



And the best bang for buck screen for us locally is a fight between the LG 24GM79 and playing the lottery on the 24" Samsung CFG.

Thanks for the mention. Just note, the predators where bought locally. So full local warranty on them.

Depending how important 3 inches is to you, why not get this?

Because the LG 24GM79 is newer and has a better panel (and variable sync tech if you happen to have a red team GPU).

and LG 24GM79G is even newer.

Um ...did you think I was talking about the 24GM77 that I had from 2014?
I was always talking about the 24GM79 from 2017.......
