Hi everyone, so I've been looking around for a monitor since my last thread on a GPU upgrade. I've been to showrooms and tested out those way above and below my price range and found that I like the superwide monitors and that you guys/gals were absolutely right about Freesync/GSync.
Since it is for gaming then I guess 1440P is the limit for the time being and I would prefer the new monitor to be IPS (I prefer this over lower responce times) but other than these requirements I'm completely lost :confused:

So I'm stuck in making a decission on what monitor I should choose so does anyone have any ideas and do I need to increase my budget above £200?

As always any help is greatly appreciated :)

Just watched a few youtube videos comparing Gsync to v sync to no sync, I don't think I'm missing much unless it's something you feel more than see in a video.
4K on a 24" for £300...The desktop might look a little small though?

27" 1440p for £300 I like this one better.

Thank you for the suggestions but I would ideally like a monitor with one of the adaptive sync technologies as after using one they are noticeably smoother than traditional V-Sync (Providing theres a decent system as well)
 
I 've been playing with just Vsync ( BF4 , ATS and so on )..and there is a difference when playing with Vsync, smoother, no stuttering....plus the fact that when i tried Freesync the monitor I got was on the bling , and when I got myself a G Sync monitor it turned up at the door broken...twice .

So...out of all three choices I would probably go Freesync or Vsync
