Hi,

As above I'm running two R9 290s and i am looking to spend up to £250 to upgrade my current monitor which is a IIyama Prolite E2473HS 24".

I've been looking around and i'm not sure what to go for. Is there anything in that price range that you'd recommend that would be a worth while investment?

I play all kinds of games on it. Football Manager, Total War, Fallout, Forza, Assetto Corsa, etc.

Any ideas?

Depends on what you're after. Your options are, to my mind, either ultra-wide or 1440p.

or

I like the first especially.

Go for

https://www.overclockers.co.uk/iiya...g-widescreen-led-monitor-black-mo-124-iy.html

Has Freesync, TN 1ms panel at 144hz, 27" and bellow the £250 mark.

Configure it properly and you are good to go.

That's not 144hz, but I wouldn't recommend that anyway.

Cheers for the recommendations. Will have a look at them. Favouring the ultra wide screen at the moment.
