Hi guys

Been away from pc gaming for a while(20 years lol). I got myself a rig which will arrive friday, with radeon rx 56 vega graphic card

Everything else is sorted out apart from the monitor, i want one with 140hz refresh rate and 2560*1440

Something that does not break the bank

Regards

Same here, the cheapest i can find is about £380 Acer 27

Indeed, just paid for hefty money for the rig and now everything else. Didn't do the research for the monitor thinking that its actually cheap. Then i found out about freesync and 144h and all the other things later on

true, it was just a monitor, CRT at the time

then came laptop and from there i jumped to MacBook. Now they are making things complicated.

Acer 27" FreeSync Full HD Monitor with DP/HDMI XF270Hbmjdprz

im going for this one, seems to have decent specs although its only 1080p but free sync and 144hz refresh rate

its about it 270 from scan, to be honest now im thinking about stretching the budget and get the 2560*1440 with free sync and 144hz. for another £110 but at least i won't need an upgrade for awhile.
