Hey all,

I am in a bit of a pickle atm about what to do with my current setup and thought I would look into putting some cash towards a new monitor.

I am currently using a

Dell Ultrasharp U2311H 23" Widescreen LCD Monitor - Midnight Grey

as my main monitor and a old 22 inch samsung.

My pc is currently using a MSI 970 so I should be ok to make a step up in resolution what would you guys out there recommend? I want something that would look nice as my main monitor in landspace and then I could use the old dell one in portrait next to it I think it would be cool to so for something thats 27inch at least and I have a budget of around 500 quid. Not sure I want to make the step to 4k just yet but if I could maybe add a bit more to the budget to give me some longevity (had this monitor for almost 5 years now!) then I would be happy to go to £700 or so if I could get a really good 4k monitor and then add another 970 to run it at a later date?

Cheers,

For single GTX 970 Acer Predator XB270HU should do. IPS panel, 144HZ, good response time and low input lag @ 1440P. A little more than ur budget of £500.

4k monitors
Samsung U28D590D
Acer XB280HK

Not sure if it is worth going for SLI GTX 970 considering the .5GB slow RAM for future games and there is a lot of debate on the forums.

Another choice is wait for the nvidia pascal series if you are not in a hurry.
