What do you guys think the best monitor choice for gaming? Brand would be alright. Looking for a 23.8 - 27 in screen. Will be a dual monitor, mount setup. So bezel would also be thin, if possible. Been looking at a lot of dell and asus. Feel free to post your thoughts on what you think is the best. Maybe link a model too, if possible. Don't need 144hz or 1ms. The standard 60 and 2-5ms is fine. But if you want to post some 144/1ms go for it!

Do you have a budget in mind? What kind of GPU do you currently have, and what games do you play?

for 24" 1080 is "okay"
for 27" i highly recommend 1440p.

But again that depends on games and GPU.

Couldn't really find any 1080 144hz thin bezel for a fair price. The best option for 144hz and thin bezel is the S2716, it's 1440p tho.

Thank you ZwiX. So dell, hp, and asus are reliable for monitors.

This is one I was looking at https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00M9B3XZW/ref=ox_sc_act_image_1?smid=A2L77EE7U53NWQ&psc=1

Just wanted to know reliability.

Indeed.
Samsung, LG, Acer and BenQ is also pretty reliable.

AOC is an example of what manusfactor you should stay away from. Often using panels not rated for use.

I wasn't sure about BenQ. But I would never invest in an AOC, never heard anything about them.

My price range is ~200 each. But yeah, nothing too crazy with games. Like I mentioned to you earlier, LoL and D2. Maybe stream? I do plan on upgrading gpu sometime if I feel like I need it/get better at the game and I know it'll improve my gameplay.

If I have to go to 250 per, I can do that, it'll just be a little while longer until I purchase a second one.

I fell the 2x Asus VC239H would be a great choice.
But if you wanna be able to adjust the height we need to find something else for you :)
