    £300 won't get me much i assume

    Planning on replacing monitor, it's an iiyama XU2590HS B1 25inch prolite IPS runs at 1080, want to go for 27 inch at 1440. I know i am limiting my choice with a £300 budget, ideally like one with height adjustable stand and slim bezel, i'm not worried about TN or IPS so any suggestions welcomed.
