So looking to build a new PC, primary use is going to be work unfortunately, which is going to involve not much more than staring at websites effectively. However I do want to use it to game on as well. I believe I'm fairly settled on wanting 27"+ and 1440p+ to give myself plenty of real estate as such. I'm far from a serious PC gamer at the moment, with a low end 5 year old laptop, so I'm not going to be massively picky over hz, fps and super ultra settings. I'll just be happy to run new releases!
Over in the New to PC gaming board, Tamzzy suggested that the AOC Q3279VWFD8, due to be released at the end of this month, could be a smart pick up? 31.5" 1440p 75hz freesync IPS, all for about 200-220gbp that I can see at the moment.
I realise that a monitor that hasn't been released here yet is a bit of a risk, but the older model without the IPS panel seemed to get some decent reviews?
Thoughts? Recommendations on other monitors? My total build budget is aiming to be around 1200-1300gbp. I'm happy enough to change what I've currently got setup if there's a must have monitor.
