If you’re looking to save some cash on a high refresh rate gaming display, the Sceptre C255B-FWT240 is worth considering. The 240Hz is plain ridiculous and I mean that in the best way possible. Visuals should be nice and smooth, especially when playing more intensive games in which every second matters.

FAQ
What monitor size should you get?
When it comes to monitor specs, you can break it down into three main categories: size, refresh rate, and resolution. Regarding size, a 27-inch monitor seems to be the best option for most folks, as it doesn’t take up a ton of desk space and it’s easier on the eyes. A 32-inch monitor, for example, may cause eye strain if it’s too close to your face.
Does monitor refresh rate matter?
Refresh rates are mostly relevant to PC gaming. The refresh rate is the number of times a monitor refreshes the screen per second. 60Hz is fine for casual gamers, but if you’re into fast-paced action titles, we recommend a monitor with a 144Hz refresh rate. This will ensure your monitor never bottlenecks the frame rates generated by your PC. You probably don’t need a 240Hz (or higher) refresh rate unless you’re a professional gamer. Personally, I use a 60Hz monitor, which is fine for me because the games I play are slower-paced.
Does my monitor need 4K resolution?
A 1080p monitor is totally fine for most tasks like web browsing and checking e-mail, but 4K is the way to go if you want the ultimate streaming or gaming experience, or simply want more screen real estate for multiple windows, applications, and so on. 4K monitors provide sharper detail than 1080p monitors, but can be more expensive. Still, if you’re working with a flexible budget or need that sharper resolution, then 4K is the way to go.
Are curved monitors better?
Curved monitors are not necessarily better, but they’ve got some advantages over the flat variety. They create a more immersive experience, which is can be nice for games and movies. They also theoretically reduce eye strain and fatigue, as they minimize distance and viewing angles. You don’t have to adjust your eyes as much. Unfortunately, most curved monitors cost more than flat ones and loss of clarity can happen if you aren’t sitting directly in the center of the screen.
