Monitor Help Please

[ppar]

Hi all,

I have recently ordered a PC with the specs posted below. What would be a great, yet not too expensive monitor to go with this please? Looking to try and spend under £250 if possible but could stretch to £300. Please let me know if you have any recommendations, thank you all

Now is a really good time to buy monitors as there are some exceptional deals around.

The one I would particularly recommend as it's full IPS and just a very high quality monitor for the budget is currently at £279:

ASUS TUF VG27AQ1A Quad HD 27" IPS LCD Gaming Monitor - Black

Quad HD 2560 x 1440p; Refresh rate: 170 Hz; Response time: 1 ms; Input: HDMI / DisplayPort; Built-in speakers; Can be wall mounted

www.currys.co.uk

Or this from LG which is the same:

LG UltraGear 27GP850 Quad HD 27" Nano IPS LCD Gaming Monitor - Black

Quad HD 2560 x 1440p; Refresh rate: 165 Hz; Response time: 1 ms; Input: HDMI / DisplayPort; USB 3.0 x 2; Can be wall mounted

www.currys.co.uk

These are both full IPS rather than the normal VA panels that you'd get at this budget.

Wait until the 26th November (black friday) and you'll likely get them cheaper

Thank you very much, that's really helpful! I will look at both, the ASUS sounds excellent! Thank you!

The Asus is a real steal, it's an amazing monitor for the money. Like I say, you may well find it cheaper as we head into Black Friday, just do a general search on google. Good luck, let us know how you get on

Just checking, if I needed to lower the budget to £200 or less, what monitor(s) might be best value at that price point and under?

There would be no monitor worth getting at £200 for that GPU mate, anything at that price or under will be 1080p which would be a waste of the 3060Ti which is a 1440p GPU. There are some great deals out there at the minute, I think you can get a Samsung G5 for like £235 at the minute which is a 1440p 144Hz the same one I have for a 3060Ti actually
