The Dell SE2426HG is the cheapest 240Hz monitor in this category at about $100, and it is the easiest recommendation here for competitive gamers on a budget. It uses a 24-inch 1080p IPS panel, so colours and viewing angles are better than on older 240Hz TN panels like the Acer Predator XB272, at a fraction of the price. FreeSync Premium, two HDMI ports and DisplayPort 1.4 cover consoles and PCs. The limit is resolution: 1080p at 24 inches looks sharp enough for fast shooters, but it is not the right choice for large open-world games or productivity work. Dell's 3-year warranty is a real advantage at this price. If you want the same panel type on a larger screen, the 27-inch SE2726HG is already in this lineup for about $50 more.
