    I've been researching monitors for weeks. I find articles recommending some and YouTubers recommending some and other resources recommending some, but when you look at the reviews on NewEgg or Amazon the people tell these horror stories about these monitors. That they die quick and they have the hardest time getting replacements and then the replacements suck too. Bad color. Lied about refresh rate. Impossible display settings. Etc Etc.

    I really want a good ultra wide and a couple 144hz 1 ms monitors that won't die in <1 year. Honestly would prefer not to spend much on monitors if I can help it, but if that's the only way to get something that won't die in a short amount of time let me know.

    What should I get? I'm having the hardest time with this :p

    Bought my first one today, LG Ultrawide 29" 75hz 2560x1080. Should be quite large and have good pixel density. Next I want a smaller one with higher refresh and response, lmk what you guys are getting for that.

    I have the predator gsync and I love it, I would post the details but I cant access the site for it atm. Its overpriced but if u have the extra money its well worth it.

    I cant find the deal anywhere so I assume you missed it but even at $250 it's still one of the better and cheaper entry level 144hz monitors

    I personally use a BenQ XL2730z, 144hz,freesync, 2560p

    Using two Korean 27" IPS 2560x1440 monitors atm. Got them for $150 each on ebay a while back, no complaints here. The brand says "Potalion" but i've never heard of them.

    I do want to get a G-Sync compatible IPS 27" 2560x1440 144hz monitor soon, but they cost a bitch and a half.
