Good 24-27'' monitor ? (144hz preferably)

[spacejunk]

Hey.

I'm putting together a backup system with some existing parts and I also need an auxiliary monitor. It doesn't have to be ultra good, but I'd like a recommendation for the best bang-per-buck in that category.

It will only be used as a backup gaming rig and local file server. Cheers.

Edit:
I have only ever used 60hz LED/LCD monitors and thought this might be a good opportunity to see what 144hz monitors can do.

What price range are you looking for?

I don't really have a price range, but I don't want to blow my wad on something that I may not use that much. The only thing that could justify spending a lot would be if I in fact liked using a smaller 144hz monitor over my 34'' panel. But who knows without actually trying one.

Since I have no experience with 144hz panels or panels in that size, I'm just hoping to avoid a bad purchase.

Well I found this:

You can get a 24" for $120 and a 27" for $170 off Amazon

The reviews seem good and the price is cheap but it uses DVI and comes with the cable so the only problem there would be if you'd mind using that. It shouldn't matter though as it's a secondary monitor and you wouldn't be using sound.

That would probably work, but I'm thinking, it might as well be a 144hz monitor since I have never tried one before and I'm a bit curious about them.

Cheers.

No problemo, and sorry, I was just looking for a cheap one but you could find a nice 144hz for around $200. I just don't know much about those kind. But gl with the build!
