Looking to get a budget gaming monitor

Hello everyone! The time has come, my previous display has fallen and it's time to get a new one!
I'd like to be hooked up with the newest possible features. I'd like it to come with an ultra-wide display but not really an issue if it doesn't.
My budget is 150$ and not sure if I can go any higher cause I need it now and I'm a broke student 😝

Thank you all 🎉
Check out this site. It helped me pick my monitors. https://www.productchart.com/monitors/
ASUS VG248QE is good I personally use it as my secondary monitor(s) now. Most will be TN panels in your budget range since you're wanting a gaming monitor on a budget and I'm assuming high refresh rates matter more then color accuracy. TN is still good tho.

This was helpful, found some options I haven't considered. Thanks

What about the Asus VG245HE? Lower refresh rate but closer to my price range. The one you suggested goes over it for a good amount here.
How big screen you getting

I guess I need it bigger than 23 inches.

I was thinking of checking for refurbished items just in case I find a premium deal. Did it look like new to you?

It did look like new to me. There was one tiny blue pixel though.

Not sure if that was related to being refurbished or not.
I had one aoc g2460fq or something can’t remember the name really... Cheap but it was good
