New monitor up to £500 recommendations please

Hi folks,

Ive got a voucher for £1500 to spend - i want to spend a max of £500 on a new monitor.

Currently i run:

B450
3600x
Vega 56
16 GB 3600MHZ Ram

Not a bad setup but ill likely upgrade to a 550 motherboard soon and get a 3070 or AMD equivalent.

In the mean time, my current Samsung monitor is starting to display some issues and so ill get shot.

Could someone kindly advise as to what the best might be?

I may aswel push things to 1440p - i currently game at 1080p 144mhz.

thanks

probably need a bit more info on what you are looking for. Size? I am going with 1440p? Is high frame rate important if so how high? what do you do with the monitor, games if so what games, colour work, etc? All of those are really important before people can really give you a recommendation as the gamut (forgive the pun) is so wide there.

thank you.

games really - 60fps plus. 100 FPS desirable. Although that will be achieved with a new GPU to replace my vega 56 shortly

Is 27" the sweet spot for you or do you want to look at 32"? 27" you'll get higher specs but obviously 32" you get more real estate. You can get 34" ultrawide for sub £500 if thats a consideration.

I’ll go up to 32” but don’t need more than that
