Recommend me a Freesync monitor

Hi all,

In market for a new monitor , currently on 23" 1080p LG.

I'm running a 6700k with Vega64.

I would like a bigger monitor for sure, just not too sure whether 1440p is the way to go or 144hz.

Every suggestion welcome , budget is 350-450 max.

Thanks

I Recently Purchased this https://www.overclockers.co.uk/lg-3...descreen-led-monitor-black-red-mo-14c-lg.html

And wow its Amazing im looking into getting a Vega 56 for it So i can make use of the Freesync and with 144hz, gaming is super smooth

Use LG100 Discount code for 100 pounds off so like 390 pounds

Plus comes with a Free Copy of Ghost Recon Wildlands if you message the LG Rep after your purchase.

Nice monitor for a good price.

You're rolling the ips panel lottery dice though.

Expect to send it back 3 times to get a decent one.

JFYI - the Wildlands promo has ended so no free game

But £100 off is still valid I believe

Are these monitors shipping with the updated firmware?

Why not both?

Definitely be weary of the IPS panel lottery though, quality control for monitors is terrible these days.

Talking big money for 1440p 144hz above 27" though, Ill put abit more thought into it.

Well you didn't say you wanted above 27". When I got mine nearly a year ago the going rate for an IPS FreeSync 1440p 144 Hz monitor was ~£500. Might be more now but the TN ones should be in your price range.
