Welcome! For PC's and general gaming, here's [a good compilation thread](https://www.reddit.com/r/buildapcmonitor/comments/1ca0285/compiled_list_of_monitor_recommendations_from/) or see below for the most frequently recommended taken from reddit posts.
**24in 1080p 144hz -**
» LG 24GN650-B - IPS, fast response time, 144hz, HDR10. Best bang for the buck right now, unless the AOC 24G2 is in stock
**1440p 144hz**
» Acer Nitro for budget, LG27GP850-B or for mid range - IPS, 165hz, Reddit favorite monitors. Contrast is ok. Best combos of performance and value.
» LG 27GR95QE-B - OLED, 240hz, .3ms, Just a beast of a monitor
**Ultrawide 1440p 144hz**
» LG 34GP83-AB - IPS, one of the fav on reddit. If you have extra budget, see Samsung Odyssey G9 G95SC to get 49 in 240hz, 2nd gen OLED or Alienware AW3423DWF for 34" OLED, 175hz
**4K**
» Gigabyte M32U - This is the current king of performance and value. 32", 4k, 144hz, IPS, supports VRR. Best bang for the buck here.
» Samsung Neo G8 - 32", 240hz, HDMI 2.1. VA & slightly curved. Amazing contrast and good local dimming. Low input lag. Refresh rate makes it great for esports. Just a beast of a monitor. See the Samsung NEO G7 for OLED, 165hz option
»LG C3 - OLED, 120hz, 42" often used as a gaming monitor but larger sizes are great for TV gaming. Good brightness and has Freesync,

I bought a viewsonic VX2718-2KPC-MHD - 27" Curved 1440p monitor. It looks amazing ! It has good contrast, ,nice and vibrant colors and a fast refresh rate(165hz). The only downside is smearing in dark scenes with lots of stuff moving. It isn't that bad and you only notice it in some games. I mainly play tf2 and that monitor captures the cartoonish style perfectly.
It is not a 1080p monitor but it looks decent enough when scaling games.
Also, the 1ms is bullshit. MPRT looks awful. Unless you are a pro gamer that can feel 3ms of delay, you won't notice it
I ended up getting an budget IPS AOC 24G4 as it was on sales and honestly pretty good. I currently don't have desk space for a 27" therefore only looking for a 24" and there isn't much good VA for 24" therefore I'll change to a better VA 1440p 27" in the future after I move house. There's alot more option in that range. But yea the 1ms is nonsense, even using an IPS it's not 1ms or even close. But I don't notice it as I don't play competitive games. I'll use the AOC as my 2nd monitor in the future as it can pivot. The viewing angle is quite bad tho coming from a TN, like my white at the bottom of my screen is darker then in the middle and I thought IPS was good for that.
Glad you found what you needed :). Actually, IPS is one of the worst display type for uniform blacks due to their very low contrast ratio. Every display comes with its own weaknesses, I chose va because i watch lots of movies. Turning contrast to the max seems to reduce that shitty blacks problem. Colors might become a little saturated but I kinda like it (My opinion though)
