Looking to build a new PC, mainly curious what the best monitors are these days, I have a 240hz viewsonic (xg270) from a few years ago that I like but I imagine the tech has gotten better since then.

Not looking to totally max out specs wise probably like 5070 and decent enough CPU, can figure that stuff out myself tho mainly wanna hear what ppls thoughts on monitors are, for playing tf2 mainly and some elden but don’t care about 1080p+ just want good refresh rate, no ghosting, etc.

Do you have a budget?

I'm not really a tech geek when it comes to monitors, but apparently people hype up OLED for the best bang for your buck for response times and image quality.

Unfortunately, from the 240hz OLED I've found, it come at a STEEP price (500+$). Had to buy an this one unfortunately. Its works alright, but I could of bought something better if I saved up.

Going off-track; from what I've seen online, people suggesting OLED include Alienware, Asus, Samsung, and LG. Not familiar with any other brands.

Alternatively, zowie has a good selection that isn't OLED. Unfortunately, their 240hz monitors (at least on their website) have been "discontinued?" which also includes its 360hz monitors. But have 280hz and 400hz monitor weirdly? Not familiar if third party sites sell it though. the price is still pretty steep though...
