Dell 27" IPS 165hz Monitor - $129.99

I have the 2021 version of this, same panel. Its not bad at all for a budget screen.

EDIT: nevermind I was confused and thought this was the 1440p one

I bought two refurb Acer 144hz monitors about a year ago for the same price or I would jump on these.
 
Decent but I can't bring myself to spend $130+ tax on any 1080p screen in 2023.
 
Not too shabby but FHD on 24" is rough enough as-is. Good deal for those who haven't been spoiled by 2k/4k displays :)

I used a 27" 1080P 120Hz monitor from 2011-2018 or so and it really wasn't that bad. Though it might be hard to go back now. For anyone running a fairly low-resolution monitor, who is also running an Nvidia card, I'd encourage them to check out DLDSR. It basically allows you to run at a higher resolution than your monitor's default resolution while putting some of the tensor cores on the card to use. I used it to run 1440p on my 1080p monitor and I used it to run 4K on my 1440p monitor.

Oh dang, I take my comment back I thought this was the 1440p one. For 1080p thats not a very good deal.

Yeah a few months back I bought Dell's 1080p 240hz IPS, which is one of the best 240hz 1080p monitors available. Direct from Dell for only $20 more than this one.

I was spoiled from the day we bought our 17" Nanoa back in the late 1990s--was running 1600x1200 back then and only kept scaling up to 2560x1600 on our last crt, the Lacie Electron Blue IV. By that time the 30" Dell 3007wfp and HP zr30w had come down in price far enough that we could get those for 2560x1600 and pretty much have stuck with those displays. Hell, I even got an LG Gram just for its 2560x1600 resolution so working on the go is just the same as in the office.

Dell's displays in general aren't catering towards gaming, etc, but a good display is a good display so a lot of theirs end up great for gaming as well.
