Best Budget Monitors to Buy in August 2020

If you're on a budget and you wish to purchase a brand new gaming monitor, then you should be checking the info we presented below and you'll find a new unit to get for under $250. All the models below should work with any type of gaming PC and they should provide excellent performance for all kinds of video games. If you are on a tight budget and you wish to game at higher refresh rates and you cannot afford to buy top gaming monitors, then you can choose to purchase one of the models presented in this post.

The monitors presented in this post should provide a decent choice for those looking to play video games in general. In case you wish to play fast action paced titles, then maybe it would be best for you to look at some gaming monitors that are priced higher than $250. Most monitors below, except for one, aren't going over 75Hz refresh rate value and if you wish to get a better monitor then you will have to up your budget by at least $50 if you wish to get 144Hz with support for both FreeSync and Nvidia G-Sync technologies.

Below you can also find monitors that aren't offering any type of variable refresh rate, which means that those models should only be used for general gaming and titles that aren't too fast action paced.

The Acer XF251Q is a brilliant gaming monitor that offers AMD FreeSync variable refresh rate, 1920 x 1080 FullHD resolution, 1ms response time and a TN panel that measures 24.5 inches diagonally. The maximum refresh rate that this monitor is offering is reaching 75Hz which paired with the AMD FreeSync will remove screen stuttering and tearing from your favorite games.

The design used for this model is really good, as it offers a sturdy stand that also offers support for adjusting its pivot, swivel, tilt and height positions, too. The panel is TN and it uses Flicker-less and Blue Light Filter technologies that will reduce eye strain.

This Acer XF251Q uses a TN panel which doesn't offer great wide viewing angles, but it is manageable if you're using it for gaming mostly, as you will stay right in front of it when playing your favorite games. NOTE: this model also comes with two stereo speakers. The ergonomics of the monitor's stand allows you to adjust its height, swivel, tilt and pivot positions without any issues.

The Dell P2417H offers good picture quality, Flicker-free IPS panel with great wide viewing angles. The monitor is decent enough for general gaming, as we don't recommend you using it for fast-action competitive titles due to it not offering variable refresh rate.

The color accuracy of this Dell monitor is really great and it also offers excellent gray uniformity. The monitor's ergonomics are allowing you to change its pivot, swivel, tilt and height angles easily. In case you're not sure about getting this model, then you can choose to buy its smaller counterpart, the Dell P2217H.

The Dell2217H monitor offers the same features listed above except for the diagonal size. Also, the 22-inch Dell P17H is cheaper and more in line with the "budget" tagline we used for this post.

The Samsung C27F398 is a curved monitor that is using VA technology for its panel, so it offers good contrast ratio, and great color accuracy. This monitor also comes with variable refresh rate support via AMD FreeSync technology.

The native refresh rate that this monitor is shipped with is set at 60Hz, but you can overclock it using the monitor's settings and using the built-in option to boost the refresh rate to 70Hz. The monitor is curved, so it doesn't offer too many angle adjusting options, as you will only be allowed to change its tilt angle.

The curvature radius of this Samsung 27-inch monitor is set at 1800R which should be enough in delivering great wide viewing angles. The minimum response time the Samsung C27F938FWU monitor offers is set at 4ms, which is decently fast for any type of game that you wish to play.

The HP VH240a monitor is a personal favorite of our website, as it offers excellent picture quality for a monitor that is priced at around $100, and it also offers very thin bezels that are making it a great choice for multi-monitor setups. The monitor also performs really well when gaming even though it lacks any Adaptive Sync technology.

If you're more of a casual gamer and you like to play games that are slow paced and not that focused on fast action scenes, then the HP VH240a would be a great choice as it offers 1080 FullHD resolution, built-in speakers, 23.8-inch IPS screen, 16:9 aspect ratio, and 4-way ergonomic design.

These were all the monitors that we are thinking are performing best in video games and that aren't priced over $250. Remember that the post is destined for casual gaming mostly, as some of the models listed above won't perform great when it comes to newer and more modern games.
