I wasn't sure where else to put this, but I'm sure you PC users could help!

I'm a console gamer (Xbox 360 + One) and I'm looking for a good monitor to game on that isn't too pricey. I record with an Elgato game capture so it will need the correct inputs for that as well as an Xbox. I would prefer <3MS response time, but will go up to 5MS if needed.

My budget is $150, give or take. I appreciate all help!

That's what I would get. Support for HDMI so you can use your Elgato fine.

I'd recommend this for sure, it's a really good IPS panel.

I believe this is probably the best bang for your buck. Its 1080p 60hz and its about $130! It has 2 HDMI ports so it will support your Elgato and your console. Hope this helps you!

But it lacks IPS, the other monitor is only another $20 and it has IPS so I'd go with that.

Not to mention it has built in speakers, granted speakers on monitors aren't that great but still does the job when watching films etc.

Won't disagree with you but I would expect he would be using a headset when using his PC etc. but yea the speakers aren't the best in them but a lot of people wouldn't use the speakers from the monitor. A lot would just use speakers you plug into your PC. I like both monitors and I just prefer the Asus and it has a nice/clean look to it. But both monitors are nice! Hope you can find the right one.

If anything I'd say the AOC monitor looks better because it's really thin bezels has that modern "apple-esk" look. But the Asus monitor has thicker bezels. But it's personal preference I guess.

I see that the ASUS has 2 HDMI inputs which is what I need. Does the AOC have 2 HDMI inputs?
