Need 2k Gaming Monitor Referrals

RaVC · February 2023

I just purchased a Legion 5i w/i7-11700 & nVidia RTX 3060Ti and want to ensure I get a solid 2k ISP monitor that can be expected to have a long life. This is primarily for our son so 144Hz/165Hz should be fine for his favorite game of War Thunder and his need to use a flight simulator for his ground school class.

What can I expect to be able to actually view in operation at my local store?

I must keep the cost below $500 and prefer to keep it below $350 but I have not been able to get on top all the information on these monitors. Other features I need/prefer are:

Blue screen filter, IPS, Energy Star Certified, 3.5 mm Audio Output as we have both HDMI & DisplayPort, warranty exceeding 1 year (if possible). Perhaps the ability to operate at multiple refresh rates (yet, I'm uncertain how important this actually is - this will be a dedicated monitor for the Legion 5i).
