BenQ is good. Also depends on whether or not you need primarily a gaming monitor or if things like color accuracy is most important.

 

edit: Oh and if you have the room, could always keep your current working monitor for dual screen if they are more or less the same size.

Wow! Thanks @Sixgun lots to choose from. Will definitely find a good one. Thinking I'm liking the BenQ.

@Sammy I gave the old one to my son. He just bought a new computer.  Would have been a nice idea. Not sure about duel monitors though. Might be too much for me. LoL

Once you start using two monitors, trust me you will not want to switch back to one. Especially if you do any kind of productivity work and need to spread things out.

I am an ASUS fan. I have had BenQ in the past and they did not last long. Even had a BenQ cd rom and it only lasted about 6 months.

I am not a fan of speakers but if you are I suggest this 27" one: https://www.newegg.com/p/N82E16824236808?Item=9SIAFJ86WT0653

This one would be my 32" preference: https://www.newegg.com/p/N82E16824236457?Item=9SIA24G3KG2356

O.o I like the 32" one @Angelz that's pretty sweet.

@Sammy hhhmmm that actually sounds pretty tempting. I'm always down to at least try something before I deny it. I could get another one that isnt as expensive for that type of thing.

What video card do you have.  Technology has gotten to the point that you almost need to match the monitor's abilities to what the video card is, and is capable of!!

ASUS 144hz monitors are the best, in my opinion.  I've heard really good things about the HP Omen line as well.  That being said, I LOVE my Samsung monitor...have had it for a very long time with no screen blur or burn in.  BenQ are budget monitors.  If you really have that $1000 max spending limit, go with an ASUS ROG 144hz or a HP Omen 144 hz monitor.  

EDITED: I posted this before seeing SixGun's post.  Even that article lists the BenQ as the budget monitor lol  Also has multiple ASUS monitors on that list  ;)  Personally, I would shy away from anything like a monitor as "budget".  

When I was talking about the video card capabilities and the monitor capabilities, do some research into G-Sync vs Free Sync (https://www.digitaltrends.com/computing/freesync-vs-g-sync/)

I would not buy Anything with 4ms or higher refresh rate. 1ms gtg is the best you can get with in flat panel. You don't need anything larger than 27" for gaming. Anything larger than that is a distraction.

 

BenQ is OKish for a cheap monitor. Viewsonic I would not touch. Neither one will last more than a few years before they start popping the cheap ass Chinese capacitors that they both use. Vizio is horrible for using the cheapest shit capacitors that they can find. Vizio does use a decent LG or Samsung panel in most of there TVs though. What else would you expect from a WallMart brand. They LOOK nice but do not last.

 

My top 2 choices? I'm not a big fan of curved displays after using my brothers 32" for a bit. 

 1st one is a couple years old. But still a great monitor. 2nd one is a Sweet monitor for the price.
