Spec Me a Monitor for £250

SoAdCrAzY · 10 Oct 2016 at 15:58

I would like a bigger monitor to replace my 24".

I have a budget of about £250. I am thinking that a 32" size would be a good fit for my new room.

I have been looking at these:

save a bit more and get the HP Envy 32

better brightness
better resolution
more inputs
and freesync.

Would that monitor make a difference? I only really play FIFA on the sofa and watch films. I don't game as much these days.

How far are you going to be sitting from the monitor? 1080p looks dreadful on a 27" diagonal monitor at standard desk distance; a 32" monitor needs to be 4K or 3440x1440.

The sofa is about 10 feet away from the monitor.

I have ordered this one. The reviews have been great.

I am wondering though whether normal Blu Rays would need some extra software so that the picture would take up the whole screen? Is there anyway to get Netflix to take advantage of the screen resolution too?

Looks a cracker and the price is very good.

Update: I got this monitor and it has been a huge improvement. 21:9 gaming and film is incredible.

I have moved into somewhere else and the viewing distance makes some text unreadable in films. Can anyone recommend a larger similar monitor?

Thanks,
