Hi, I am on the look out for a budget gaming monitor for my teen, he plays GTA 5 and Red Dead Redemption.
It has an AMD Readon RX500 graphics card, am unsure of other computer specifications and I don't know too much about what to look for in a gaming monitor.
I have come across this deal, but I'm not sure if it is good or not?

Any other recommendations would be great, thank you.
Sorry I'm not sure what the specs are, its for my teen. He wants to play games like GTA 5 and Red Dead Redemption 2
For those games that monitor is waste of money - Just go for a 24/27" IPS - High refresh rate optional..
To utilise a 240 hz monitor to its potential you need a high spec computer, and it's mostly used for competitive FPS games (which are not GTA5 or RDR2).
I've been told it has an AMD Readon RX500 graphics card.
Don't go by what your told. In the search box type dxdiag. That's DirectX diagnostic, then you know the ram the cpu the graphics card etc.

What graphics card do you have?
Best monitor for about $500 would be Acer KG271UA
27"
1440p
144hz
Freesync
Unofficial G-Sync compatible.
If your graphics card is below a GTX1070/2070 then you'd be better off going a 1080p model and spending less.
That's a TN display, you could you get VA and sometimes an IPS below $500 with same specs (QHD, 144Hz, Freesync) last I checked
Feel free to check again and link one.

Alternatives to this are a 27" FHD version especially if the graphics card is a few years old:

I've been told its an AMD Raedon RX500 graphics card :)
As a blind recommendation with that limited information, I would look at this Viewsonic - basically same features as the Acer zeggie recommended, but an IPS panel.
Could be had closer to $400 in previous specials, but might not be doable at the moment.
Yep I was going to recommend the same monitor. Never used it, but seems to hit the price bracket for a lot of features.
I have this one, pretty happy with it. I went from a Dell IPS 22". for 27/1440p/144hz/IPS it seems to be in competition with 700 dollar monitors.
I have that monitor and have been disappointed as a stuck pixel appeared after only two months of owning.
ViewSonic refused repair as it was outside their 30 DOA warranty. I might have just gotten unlucky but It's the last Viewsonic I'll buy and do not recommend
I've just bought a Samsung CJG54 off ebay for about $420, 27" 1440p and 144hz refresh rate, i thought that was a pretty decent price for mid range monitor specs.
Much cheaper if you want to get a 24" 144hz 1080p monitors out there for ~$300 mark.
What's in your pc and what do you wanna play. You will need to have 240+ fps for 240mhz.
