Might be a dumb question, but would any of you recommend getting a FreeSync monitor over a regular 144Hz monitor? I am looking to get a 1920x1080p monitor and I don't know if I should get one that supports FreeSync or not.

What CPU and GPU are you using? What is your budget and currency for a monitor? What exactly do you use your PC for?

Or, you can get an Ultrawide, 75Hz, IPS monitor with no Freesync for $155

or, if you like the look of Ultrawide, for $275, you could get a Freesync IPS monitor, but only 60Hz;

And, some 1440p options for a little over budget;

Obviously it's well over your $200 budget, but if you have a decent 1080p monitor, you could just use that until you have some more money, then buy the Pixio monitor. It's 1440p, 144Hz, Freesync, and IPS.
