Not sure about what monitor you should buy but don't listen to people saying you should spend more on a monitor. If you are on a budget than get what you can get for now. Later on when you can get a better one than get a better one. Though I can say $150 probably is going to be a waste on a monitor for gaming. If you have another monitor you already using I'd continue using that one an save up another $200 or so to get a decent gaming monitor.
