Hello all,

I have a gaming system with the following setup:
Intel i5 3750k
RX 480 (Soon)
MSI G45 Z77A Motherboard

I have a budget of ~$230, but I'm looking to spend the least possible, I am willing to buy a used monitor or one with dead pixels. I will mostly be using the monitor for gaming and general web browsing, I'd prefer Display Port compatible monitors if possible.

Any recommendations for some heavy gaming sessions?

Thanks so much!

I repeat, don't buy an RX 480 now. In a couple of days, the new RX 500 series will be replacing them.

If you can afford to spend a little more I recommend you the Asus VG248QE, this is a great monitor

Except that most of them might be rebrands, so performance will only be marginally better. Depends if you value saving money or having a little extra performance more.

Thank you very much for the Acer and Asus recommendations, I've had good experiences with Asus monitors in the past.

I have read about the re-branding theories and it seems like the best course of action is too wait until the 500 series drops and then check performance reports. If the 400 series drops significantly in price I might have to go with that option due to the convenience!

They are rebrands.

I agree and it's cheaper than the old VG248QE.
