New monitor 23-24 [~£120]

My 5 year old AOC is acting a bit strange, i get random black screens on booting (non os related). I've tried changing the HDMI cable. So the fault is either in the display port or the monitor.

Looking to get a new monitor 23-24 inches. Mainly use for programming and some gaming. Looking to spend about 100-120-ish.

Spec:

Gigabyte Z170XP-SLI - Intel Core i5 6600K
Powercolor Radeon R9 390 8192MB
AOC I2369VM 23" Widescreen LED IPS Monitor
EVGA Supernova G2 650W '80 Plus Gold'

Cheers!

You sure you've ruled out the gpu or other component? What's your spec?

You're not going to get a lot of variance at that price point to be honest. I'd look for on-site warranty first. We've got one of these at home, seems ok for the price:

My basket at Overclockers UK:

1 x AOC G2460VQ6 24" 1920x1080 TN 75Hz FreeSync 1ms Gaming Widescreen LED Monitor - Black/Red= £118.99

Total: £130.09 (includes shipping: £11.10)

As Ted said, list your spec.

If you have a CPU with iGPU, have you tried using this instead of a graphics card?

Thanks guys, added the spec. Tried the HDMI port on the mobo as well , same issue

EDIT : It was getting out of hand today morning, so sucked it up and placed an order for AOC 24G2U. Arriving tomorrow. Thanks for all your help.
