This pic seems a bit different from the others. Features like the grid overlay and photo alignment tool are unique and, even more importantly, useful. The PA246Q barely squeaks in under the price criteria, but thanks to excellent performance, great ergo support, and a unique and plentiful OSD, the monitor is well worth its asking price. The PA248Q is a less expensive but still impressive IPS monitor that has a variety of ergonomic options, connections, and useful OSD features. At $330 it is less expensive than its predecessor, the PA246Q (Spoiler alert: it's the monitor featured below this one), but it can't compare to the PA246Q's high color performance. The Asus PA248Q monitor matches its good performance and features with a good price. The PA248Q has a good balance between performance and price. It's still one of the best 3D monitors (if not the best) I've ever reviewed. You can't see it in a static image, but the W2363D-PF features a "Knight Rider"/Cylon-like light that sequences and pulsates.įor as low as $300, the LG W2363D drops in two HDMI ports, Nvidia 3D Vision support, a headphone jack, and good overall performance. But, from build-quality to performance to connection options (HDMI, DVI, and VGA), the monitor gives much more than what $200 usually buys. There are plenty of monitors available at that price. It's not just the fact that the HP x2301 is available for less than $250. The HP x2301 is completely working that neon turquoise, trimming.

It's a good deal for the price due to its accurate color and wide viewing angles but it lacks build quality plus the connections and OSD aren't the easiest to deal with. Despite this, it's also one of the most basic monitors on the list. The LG IPS235V IPS monitor is one of the least expensive monitors on this list yet it achieves impressive performance in games, movies, and photos. This low-priced IPS monitor won't blow your mind or all of your money. The reason being that most consumers have a difficult time paying more than $500 for a monitor while still considering it a "value."

Monitors in the list below top out at $500 in price. Now, if you simply want a device that translates ones and zeros into images your eyes can decipher, then stick with the cheap monitors however, if you're looking for an actual monitor deal, keep reading. You'll have to pay more for them, but in the long term you're getting more for your money. Luckily, there are plenty of monitors that pay off with excellent performance, practical design, and plentiful features. Paying $150 for a monitor with a paltry feature set, thoughtless design, or lackluster performance could induce an annoying and probably unexpected sense of buyer's remorse.

However, just because you're paying $150 or less for a monitor doesn't mean you're necessarily getting a great deal. Go to most computer hardware outlets and you'll see plenty of off-brand, "get the job done" monitors (and by "job" I mean delivering images to your optics) awaiting your dollar.
