PC / Console Monitor - £200? Doable?

Mull3t · 22 Jun 2018 at 18:26

so I’ve decided to sell up my Xbox One X and LG 4K HDR TV to fund upgrade for my PC in the near future. I just wasn’t being the full benefits of the X so decided to sell up whilst the prices are still quite high for preowned.

I’ll still be using my Xbox One S and PS4 and at the moment HDR isn’t really a priority.

Is it possible to get a decent gaming monitor for my budget? Ideally I’d prefer closer to the £150 mark and I want the monitor to be fit for both PC and console gaming, not fussed about watching films etc it will purely be for gaming.

Wouldn’t want to go larger than 27/28’

Cheers

Thanks. What kind of specs are recommended? If I have to up my budget a little to get something a bit better I can.

Low latency, IPS, high refresh rate. Make sure you have both inputs you need for TV and PC, freesync if you've got an AMD GPU. Gsync costs £150 by itself.

Is they any reason why this ASUS model is so cheap? Can’t really find much about it online.

ASUS VZ249HE, IPS Panel, 76Hz, 4ms, Flicker Free, 1080p. Can be bad for £110!

*edit - ignore me, refresh is 60hz

You might be able to pickup the 32" AOC for around 200.

I was looking at this one, got great reviews. Just think 32” a bit big considering I’ll be sat maybe 1m away..

I've got a OMEN and found it fine. My desk is about 750mm deep and I think I'd be ok with about a 40"

Yeah, im about 2 ft away from my 32" and its not too big tbh. Its a nice compromise IMO.
