Hi,
I want to connect my laptop (specs below) to a "gaming monitor" and use the monitor as my primary screen. I also want this monitor to be able to run my PS4 with as little lag as possible. I also play low demanding online games. My laptop has an IPS screen which is lovely to look at.

I have looked at lots of different monitors online and keep getting lost. I think I may be looking at too high specs of monitors. As my laptop is IPS I don't really want to lose image quality when using my monitor as a primary screen and I also don't want a laggy monitor for PS4 and low demand online games.
My budget is around the £400 mark.
The ones I have looked at recently are:
BenQ XL2720Z
BenQ XL2730Z
Dell Ultrasharp U2715H
Many thanks in advance,
Ruthers.
