ASUS TUF Gaming VG249Q (24" 144Hz)
A 24-inch 1080p 144Hz IPS monitor with ELMB in the beginner tier, positioned as a first gaming display. The 144Hz IPS combination is a sensible entry point for fast-paced play on a budget. It's not for photo or video work given the 1080p resolution, and the data flags that 27-inch panels now sit close in price — worth weighing if you have desk space for a larger screen.
