So i would need help finding a proper monitor.
I did read forums and tons of reviews but i think you guys could help/enlighten me much more.
I need something for gaming / movie for a 1050 ti (later on possibly gtx 2060) till 300$.
Following specs i looking for are:
Full HD flat ~24-25" 1-5 ms,
preferably IPS (or VA etc)with possible OC to at least ~75 hz but if you know a worthy, really good quality TN let me know please,
flicker free would be really important.
G sync or Free sync doesn't matter since i will have 1050 ti until Volta. And QHD/4k is out of question for me till 2020 or so.
I know some of the specs what i wrote maybe not possible with each other like monitor with ips like quality with 75 hz+ and less than 5ms etc. But who knows maybe you guys could suggest me some cool stuff, thanks for the help and
Merry Christmas to you all

If can can get to a store and compare monitors, that is the best way.
Dont intend to buy at the store you just want to see things like big, small, 16:9, 21:9, all the features to determine what is best for you.

Another thing I did was cut cardboard into 27, 32, 40 screens and 16:9 & 21:9.
Taped the card to my old monitor and fit the size to my desk. I think you would like a 27 more than a 25.

This isn't exactly to your spec but you asked for cool stuff. I got this a month ago on sale for $250.
Normal price is $350, but I have seen refurbished units on ebay for $280.

32", 1440p (and 1080p), 75Hz, Freesync, 5ms, VA panel

It's beautiful. I mostly use it for Photoshop and it's closer to a pro monitor than a gaming monitor.
Even though I have a Geforce and can't use Freesync, it seems like it's on anyway.
Zero Flicker or screen tearing.
Watching movies on 1440p is a lot better than 1080p.
Gaming at 1440p seems more like 1080plus than almost 4K.
Your GPU can probably handle many games at 1440p but it works well at 1080p too.

Monitors are a purchase that you will hold onto for years through many system upgrades, so purchasing 1440p when you wont use all that resolution until 2020 is a future proof move.1440p hits the sweet spot.

It's looks really decent only problem is that its too big but about qhd you are right, guess i will try to find a ~25 qhd so even if scale it down to full hd in some games it's wont look bad.
Since that i did find a monitor that could have been a seriously good offer "Acer G257HU smidpx"lot people ocd it to 75-85 hz and had all the spec i looked for but can't find it in Europe anywhere and ordering it from USA i guess would be risky and expensive, especially if i would have dead pixels etc and need to send it back.So i guess I'm still on the search.
