What 1440p monitor should I get for CS2? I dont really understand what hertz or ms means so sorry if this is a dumb question but I just want it to look smooth. My budget is around $350 and I need to pick something up from Best Buy tomorrow...

I was in your exact same shoes about six months ago! I walked into Best Buy with some cash and honestly had no clue what refresh rate actually did for me. I ended up grabbing the LG 27GP850-B 27-inch UltraGear QHD Nano IPS and it felt like I was playing a totally different game. CS2 went from looking like a choppy slideshow to feeling butter smooth! The colors are amazing and it usually stays way under your $350 limit. My headshot count basically doubled because everything was so clear when I flicked my mouse... its seriously a game changer for competitive shooters. Best Buy almost always has these on the shelf too. TL;DR: Grab the LG 27GP850-B 27-inch UltraGear QHD Nano IPS or the Dell G2724D 27-inch QHD 165Hz. Both are fantastic budget picks that look incredible and will handle CS2 perfectly.
