Looking for recommendations on a monitor in the £200-250 range.

It will be used for both console and pc gaming, is there something specifically aimed towards this?

Ive been using both on a cheap monitor for ages so anythings an improvement, i guess.

Thanks in advance.

The reason I asked is there is no reason recommending a monitor. If your card is going to struggle driving it....

You have several choices in your price range, actually.

My favorite was the Iiyama ProLite XB2783HSU-1, it's a great all-around monitor.

You can also get the AOC G2460PF. 144hz, Freesync, can OC, decent enough colour for a TN. You can't really take advantage of Freesync but you might upgrade in the future, and even without Freesync it's still a good price for 144hz.

If you would rather err on the side of visual quality there are plenty of 1080p 24''/27'' displays, but if you want to jump up a bit in resolution AOC Q2577PWQ is one helluva buy. True, 1440p is wasted for console gaming and the 760 isn't all that strong, but for older games it will look very crisp.

All in all, first option probably the best right now. If you plan on upgrading GPU soon though I would eye the freesync monitors (or the AOC Q25577PWQ, if you prefer visual quality alone).
