Monitor for PC & Console Gaming

DeadMetal17 · 2 Mar 2014 at 20:13

Hi guys its time for me to get a new monitor & I could use some help finding a new one (because I have no clue about this kind of thing) I don't really have a budget but Id rather keep it under £500. The monitor will be used for both my PC & Xbox One.

I also have a retarded question about sound, Id like to hear my PC & Xbox at the same time through my headset (im not sure if this is possible which is why I started a post about it HERE)

If you need any more information from me please ask.
Thanks Guys.

Anyone have a recommendation?

Id it safe to assume that you are looking to stick to 1080p?

If so, there are tons of monitors that will be suitable.

Edit: Actually, I need to ask more:
How are you currently listening to your devices? Through the screen? Connected up to an amp?

Do you require more than one hdmi input? Or will one DVI and one HDMI be ok? Though this may not be as important based on the above answer.

If you could explain your current setup in more detail, including sound, it would be helpful.

Thanks for posting eyetrip

at the moment my Headset goes into a splitter (along with my surround sound) which then goes into the back of my PC, my console goes into my TV & uses its sound (but I want to change that because its wall mounted & just uncomfortable for gaming, screen is too big & too high) which is why I wanted them both on the one monitor. as for the sound I pretty much live on a TS server with friends & family popping on all the time so id like to be able to stay on it to communicate with them while still being able to enjoy the sounds of my games at the same time on the headset.

hope this makes sense, thanks again.
