£450ish for a 4k Monitor

Hey guys,

I'm looking for a 4k monitor to go with my series x and I'm just wondering what other people are using? Is it worth getting a hdr monitor that's within my budget or would it be a waste?

I had the LG UL850 and it did quite like the monitor but it died and I was just wondering if there were any better monitors out there now for a similar price. I might just see if I can get another 850 second hand and maybe upgrade to a 2.1 monitor when the prices come down.

To be honest unless you are getting a high fresh rate panel you dont really need HDMI 2.1
There are some good deals in the b grade sale for 4K 60hz screens that would do.

I see they have the 850 in stock but the only thing stopping me is the possible marks on the screen or something along those lines.

From what I understand they are mostly customer returns, you would still have a your 2 week return window if you were not happy with it so better than buying second hand IMO.

There is a thread with details on how to make offers on them too if you have not seen it yet.

Ah thanks for that. This is the first I've seen of it. I'll send an offer for the 850
