Tight budget 4k 144hz monitor recommendations?

PaulW · 5 Jun 2022 at 20:09

Hi,

My bro is looking for a 4k monitor 144hz on a tight budget of £250. ( if that is even possible)
if that's not an option then a good 2k one but would prefer to get a 4k one as he will be using it for video editing and some gaming

he will be running it off a NVIDIA RTX 2080ti

Thanks for your recommendation

Paul

For that budget you're still looking at a high refresh 27" tbh (even at the budget end), few options out there atm such as;

MSI OPTIX 27" G273QF 2560x1440 IPS 165Hz 1ms FreeSync/G-Sync Widescreen LED Backlit Gaming Monitor

Order MSI OPTIX 27" G273QF 2560x1440 IPS 165Hz 1ms FreeSync/G-Sync Widescreen LED Backlit Gaming Monitor now online and benefit from fast delivery.

Thanks Fragger, we went with a 2k LG in the end. LG 27" 27GP850-B seemed to be the best bang for the buck with a slight stretch to the budget. Seems 4k still has a way to go in a price drop. Still i love 4k monitors. i love how crisp everything is on them.
Thanks for taking the time to reply and help us out

Hope room illumination is good.
For some inexplainable reason LG's 27" 2560x1440 "Nano-IPS" panel has blast from 15 years past garbage for contrast.
AU Optronics panel of MSI would have had like 45% higher contrast.

This maybe so, i have an earlier version of the LG and for me it seems fine, and a lot of the review mention it as the only draw back but none of them said it was a deal breaker. There is no perfect monitor
