Hi all.
I'm looking for advice as to the best monitor I can get, within a £300 budget, for the computer I'm planning to buy from PC Specialist. I'd like to find the optimal monitor which will be able to get the full benefit of the graphics card in the new build, but not so fancy that my graphics card can't access it well enough to show the benefits of said fanciness!
Ideally I'd like it to have tilt adjustment, as well as height adjustment if possible. 26" to 30" screen (with 30" being the absolute max). I'm equally open to buying it from PC Specialist or elsewhere, whichever option gives me the best value for money. I've had a look around myself, but I'm not sure which would be best (60mhz, 120 mhz, 144mhz refresh etc).
I've included the build for the desktop below. It will predominantly be a gaming PC: World of Warcraft, Civ 6, GTA V, Planet Coaster, Shadow of War, Total War Warhammer 2 etc.
Thanks very much in advance
Hal.
