27'' Best Bang For Buck

kai · 1 Feb 2016 at 16:58

Recently purchased a new build from OCUK, running NVidia.

I am looking at upgrading my monitor, the PC is mainly used for general day to day tasks, web browsing but nothing too strenuous while in the evening I use to play games.

I am looking for the best bang for buck on a 27’’ monitor (up to £250 price tag )

So much choice on https://www.overclockers.co.uk/monitors/by-size/27-68.58cm struggling what to pick?

I am not going to be doing any editing, Photoshop etc.

I am coming from an 24'' OLD, 6/7 year old Samsung 5ms TN panel.

bump! surely someone has a recommendation?

What res are you looking for?

I like my Samsung 1440P, it looks lovely. But if you want a higher refresh, it's not the one to go for.

Crossover 2795QHD. 100hz, IPS and 1440p.

There are some risks but it's generally quite low.

Well in that price range if I wanted 1080p Id choose:

for 1440p I'd stretch the budget a bit and choose:

I've never owned a BenQ monitor so can't comment on quality but looking at what you get Vs the money.... it seems a pretty good deal
