Hi, is there a 120hz monitor that is under 200 bucks out there these days? If not please help recommend

[Arbiter051]

I right now have a benq 21.5 inch 60hz monitor and I would like to buy a 120 and use the benq as a second monitor. This would be more for overall better comp performance rather than hardcore gaming.

Seasonic 550w
16gb ram
Msi z97 krait edition mb
Gtx 970 Msi not oc(yet)
4970 i7
Good cooling in case

If they don't exist, what is the best 120(if there is one) for under 230?

Thank you!

Whoops I didn't mean to make that the solution. It says it's 199.99 on Amazon. Am I looking at the right one?

Also as stupid as this question may be, is it very good? Or is good for the price? Don't take that the wrong way, just sometimes you read negative reviews and start to wonder haha.

I keep seeing things about stuck and dead pixels very early or within the first few hours of use and it kind of makes me weary I suppose.

Also is this good for oc my gpu or does that not matter? I'm new to oc. Thank you for the suggestion!

Its the only one in your budget. The next cheapest is the asus vg248qe and its $248. The monitor wont affect overclocking. The Acer should be ok. I have the Asus and its been a good monitor. Imho $200 for the acer is not a bad deal.

You have that exact Asus if I may ask? I could go 250 maybe even 300, it's just I don't want to spend so much if I don't have to, I hope that doesn't piss anyone off in any way

Yep I have that same model Asus VG248qe.

if I may ask, you have the next one up? The 248 one? If you recommend it then I will most likely get that one, looks it does what I need it to!

I'd recommend it, the adjustable a stand is a nice feature.

Alright then that is what I will get, ty ty
