Title. I'm looking for a 144hz monitor, this one's like 200 eur so it's fairly cheap. Any experiences with it? What's the catch? Or is there no catch and it's just a good deal?

If this is purely for competitive gaming if you look around you can find a 240hz around $250. I got my LG 27GK750F-B on amazon warehouse open box for $220.

Without going into too much detail, my country is crap, most big retailers don't ship here directly and every 240hz I've seen here has been $450+

Almost every monitor manufacturer is either releasing or has released one. LG ultragear, AOC 24G2U, Acer and Asus, etc. The cheaper models have a 23.8 inch panel from Panda(?) but there's also a 24.5inch AUO panel. They're all new, so it'll take a couple weeks for reviews to trickle through.

If they're new it's gonna take a long while till I see them in stores here

Anyway you seem to know your shit, so what do you think about AOC? I hadn't heard about them till a few weeks ago, they seem to make affordable monitors but I have no idea if they're actually good or just some off brand Chinese garbage

AOC is actually a pretty old company that used to make decent CRTs. I do know that Chinese companies like AOC sometimes use the same panels as the name brands do, you just have to look for specs/reviews of that specific model. FWIW, I've had a good experience with my cheap Chinese monitor (Monoprice 240hz).

In general, I would recommend spending a little more (250usd vs 180-200) vs getting something that's going to have ghosting/smearing issues. I made that mistake myself, and the only reasonable upgrade from a smeary 1080p 144hz monitor was something like a 240hz one, since it doesn't make sense to shell out another 200+ dollars just for some smoothness and no more hz.
