Budget Gaming Monitor Help

crazymilk · 4 Dec 2023 at 11:35

Hi there

I am looking for a new gaming monitor for my sons Xmas present.

He mostly plays COD/Fortshite and the likes.

Ideally 27”

He is a Nvidia fan boy (has a GTX2060 Super) so I am assuming G Sync is a good shout?? (I’ve been out of the PC game a long time so not sure on this these days )

Doesn’t matter if curved or flat

Budget around £200

Willing to look at reburb/clearence/Grade B ect

Anybody got any good suggestions?

Thank you.

Hi mate, how about a 31.5" 165hz 1440p LG on B-grade from OCUK for £220? I bought one brand new for £280 from them and it's awesome, they advertise it as AMD Freesync however it IS G-Sync compatible out the box without even clicking anything, as the drivers show

Only downside (moaned at by picky YouTubers) is that it's actually 350nitts SDR and 400nitts HDR and the HDR is crap - but what 400nitt monitor isn't for HDR lol), in reality it is VERY bright sat this close/being a 31.5"! Oh and they moaned that the stock stand isn't the tallest/sturdiest, but I already had a £35 adjustable vesa mount off ebay from the last monitor - so you could just change this later down the line IF it bothers you - I only use mine because I'm very tall so want everything at eye level...

Any the B-grade reduced price one...

B Grade LG 32 32GN600-B 2560x1440 VA 165Hz 1ms MBR FreeSync HDR10 Widescree

Yes it is VA, but I've had zero issues playing CSGO/2 at 165hz 1440p!

I've bought three of those from OC at launch. Good screens.

That'd be why they kept going out of stock when I wanted to buy one then hahaha!

At one point they were £360, as I've wanted one for years. Highly recommended, my 2nd VA and zero issues the 'scene' claims, my first was a 27" AOC 165HZ, and again no 'VA issues'. Gotta love the fact that they are actually G-Sync compatible but don't brand it, sneaky swines.

If you like the monitor reccomended above or any other make Overclockers an offer.

Should be able to get it for £200 inc delivery.
