Looking for a new gaming monitor hopefully 250 or less (canadian) I've been looking at ASUS VG248QE but it's 350-360 Canadian UNLESS I buy it refurbished on newegg for 259.99 + tax (which I was considering) but getting the refurbished monitor worries me of having a scratch on screen or a dead pixel that may annoy me I don't really care if there'll be a scratch off screen or so.

can anyone recommend a 144hz monitor for 250 or less (Canadian)

You juust missed a sick sale on the BenQ, they had it for 250 @ memory express a week or two ago.

The only one you can get right now for 250 is this: https://ca.pcpartpicker.com/product/PmyFf7/acer-monitor-umfg6aab01
It's a sick monitor, I use it myself.

The Acer can go as low as ~$220 on sale
The Asus I've seen as low as ~$250-260 on sale
and the other week was the first time i've seen the BenQ at 250, usually it goes on sale for like 300

only downside on the Acer is that the stand has no adjustment, I just sit mine on top of my H100i v2 box :)

thanks I was looking at the monitor you linked is this hdmi cord enough for the monitor or would I need a different kind of cord

also I read theres a brightness issue with that monitor I usually play with the lights on at night anyways so I don't think it'd be a problem for me

I mean yeah it's pretty bright but I wouldn't say there's a "brightness issue." It's pretty dark in my basement and I haven't had any problems with it lol

The monitor comes with a DVI cable and you need to use DVI to run in 144hz.
