Hi all

Was hoping someone can help, im looking for a new monitor with the focus on my games looking better , more vibrant colours etc

my current monitors are and they just seem to be "washed out?" low in colour
BenQ XL2420T 24"
AOC G2460PF 24"
Graphics card is GeForce GTX 1070 if helps

These are fine, but were bought with the intention of being used for FPS gaming, so bright monitors
I mainly game wow and league, really just lookign for a monitor the game looks great

id like i to be 27", im happy to try the curved screens if they are worth it, budget 300-400 but will look if suggest either side

Hope you can help

Hi and welcome.

Both panels are TN hence the washed out look. You probably want to look at IPS or VA panels.

Pixio PX7P and BenQ EX2780Q are often £400 or under. Gsync works fine with GTX 1070 (I have GTX 1070 and the BenQ) through Display Port.

Curved makes more sense at 34" and bigger.

@Mark Farrow

You'll need a Display Port cable. It doesn't come with one. Recommend one like the "Busohe 8K Display Port 1.4 Cable" which is reassuringly beefy and overspecced.

Fwiw, my settings are Colour Mode: User, Brightness: 45, Contrast: 45, Sharpness: 6, Colour Vibrance: 8, Advanced - Gamma: 2.6, AMA: High

Thanks a lot, have ordered that cable too and will try your settings
