Thought I'd give it a week or so before giving a verdict. The monitor's been (literally) game changing. I know there's going to be better out there, but the step up from the work monitor is very notieceable. I'd certainly reccommend people condsider this range if they're in the look out for a...

Yeah, I have an LG TV & the picture's great (again, for the price). Don't think these were in my budget when I first looked, so they were off my radar, somewhat. Glad they got pointed out to me. Anyway, I've bought the GL now. Back to the office next week, so had to bite the bullet. Next, a...

It's on Amazon (via Sotel) for £550 - though I'm not sure how official it is for the UK as the reviews are both in German. This is an example of someone saying the GP is noticeably better than the GN, compared to the GN not being much better than the GL...

Both the GN & GL are, but there doesn't seem much to split the two, performance wise. It was the GP I that's not in budget. I've read some reports that that's a bigger step up then GL->GN. Unless I'm missing something?

Yeah, it's that horrible time when you can afford the older ones, but people are saying the newest one (GP) actually is a noriceable improvement and the little kid you wants the best one *now*. Can't stretch to that, unfortunately. I think it may go for the GL, though. This has beeen useful...

Thanks. I've just found there's a few sites/threads out there discussing the differences, and as far as I can see, the main difference is the GL has a usb hub, and the GN has slightly improved colour & contrast?

The GL850 is at Currys for the same price. I assume this is a newer version of the model? If there's enough improvement, that'll probably swing it. Thanks.

Yeah, sorry I meant to imply that in my EDIT2, but made it very general as several sites stock either. Thanks.

Display Port cable is usually the best.

They don't unfortunately. Thanks for the Amazon heads-up. Currys claim they price match everywhere, so I might give that a try. That said I would like to get a flat screen comparison as I don't know how well the curved screen will work as a work monitor (might be fine). EDIT: hmmm, can't see...

Hi all, I'm finally looking to get a monior for the PC I bought earlier in the year (see this thread for details - https://www.pcspecialist.co.uk/forums/threads/gaming-pc-1440p-vs-graphics-card-availability.80907/), but tl:dr the graphics card is the 6700xt, and it's not high-end fps gaming...

Well, it's here, running well, and I'm posting from it. Still in the process of setting it up, but thought I'd say thanks again to everyone.

I'm not really experienced enough to contribute to this, but you may find this thread useful. https://www.pcspecialist.co.uk/forums/threads/gaming-pc-1440p-vs-graphics-card-availability.80907/ My budget was a bit higher than yours (£1500 - £1600ish), but not so much as to make the choices...

That's odd. I'm not really up to speed on PCS production to know if there's anything else that could cause that. I hope I haven't jumped the queue, though.

Yeah, though I got the date/day wrong. It's due on Friday. So that's a 5 day turnaround, which is nice. I ordered it on Monday expecting 2-3 weeks.

Expected delivery on Saturday.

Update on availability: I ordered on Monday, went into build yesterday and into testing today.

I think we have a plan. I can stretch to that price and will sort out an order over the weekend. I'll have the work monitor until June 21st (at least), when our office re-opens, so that will give me a couple of months to sort something out. That's great, thanks all. It's been a really useful...

Thanks all. So one option is to hang fire. Another option is to get the above system (or similar) and monitor, and look to upgrade the card in some months time. I know some (many?) would go for the first option, but I want to explore the second fully before rejecting it. So is whether the...

Thank you, that's very interesting. So the 1660 will do 1440p, but at low settings? But mainly I'd be looking at 1080 now with "only" the card and monitor (if I don't go for 1440p now) in about a year? Head says wait, but it's going to be tough waiting, having decided to switch after waiting 5...
