Help me spend max £300

Unfortunately new G-Sync monitors cost way above the £300 budget, so can't consider them.

But here are some good FreeSync monitors (and a used G-Sync) with strobing backlights:

My basket at Overclockers UK:
Total: £784.23 (includes shipping: £15.30)
​

The Samsung has better colour accuracy and contrast levels than the other two. The LG and Acer produce similar looking images overall.


The G-Sync monitor is B-grade and doesn't specifically mention what is wrong with the item (apart from the generic B-grade description) so it could be a gamble. You could ring up customer support to see if they can tell you more info.

Anyway, G-Sync would eliminate screen tearing and this monitor has a slightly higher refresh rate than the other two.

Thanks - would you recommend the b grade predator (assuming its ok) over a Samsung chg70?

The CHG70 will create much better looking images (and deeper blacks) than the Acer, but it doesn't have G-Sync. It's also way over budget from what I can find.

What matters more to you - colours and contrast levels (CHG70) or G-Sync and a higher refresh rate (Acer)?


Also, you would struggle to run games at high frame-rates at 1440p with a GTX 970. 1080p is more easy to run for your GPU.

Sorry dude I’m a little confused - I understood that the Samsung (which is 1080p and 140hz max) would be ideal given the size of the screen and that it’s only 1080p - am I wrong?

Also I only want 24” so the Samsung is in budget

The Samsung C27HG70 and C32HG70 are two 27inch/32inch 1440p 144hz FreeSync monitors.

Do you mean the C24FG73? If so, yeah that 1080p monitor is in budget and has a refresh rate of 144hz with FreeSync. But it wouldn't eliminate tearing for you, as you have a Nvidia card but can only use FreeSync with an AMD card.

ah ok yes I was meaning the c24hg70 (24”)

I’m mega confused now but that predator is looking good hmmmmmmm
