So,
moving my office around. No more room for the 49" TV that acted as a monitor (6ft away from me). I want a gaming monitor to put on my desk (2.5ft away from me).
Got a RTX2070, so maybe looking at gsync, not sure.
Ideally 28-32", 120Mhz+, 4k.
Does such an animal exists for £400?
If not, what features would you sacrifice in order to get on budget?
Not bothered about curved (its a gimmick).
I'll plug AppleTV into the monitor for all my TV viewing requirements.
Been looking on Black FRiday/Cyber Monday deals and tbh OCUK have naff all. Plus their filtering is cack! They really need to sort that out.

Anyways.....urgent advice appreciated :)
 
Hi, thanks for the reply. It was urgent because i was hoping to take advantage of any black friday/cyber monday deals, but tbh OCUK didn't really have any deals that were still in stock. Nor did their competitors. So the urgency is off now, in favour of making an unrushed but informed choice :)
After reading about g-sync, freesync, adaptive sync etc, a lot of people simply opt for a higher refresh monitor (144Hz) that doesn't necessarily have any 'sync features and still enjoy much smoother gaming etc.
On reflection 27" might be best for me as i don't want to have to move my head to scan across the width of a 32" screen as it will only be 2.5ft from my face.

But i'm used to playing FPS games and stuff like Wildlands and Breakpoint on a 49" Toshiba TV @ 1080p, so i'm hoping that a 2k, 27" 144Hz monitor with speakers (without any 'sync features) would still be a huge improvement.
That's the hope anyway.
 
Don't bother with GSync any more. Get a 'Gsync compatible' monitor. Sell one of your children and get yourself the Acer Nitro 4K monitor for around £800.
Lol, sadly the kids are all grown up and have moved on. My lad does have a 27" Predator g-sync which he loves.
So, whats the dealio with curved screens? Always thought of them as gimmick myself.
 
LG UltraGear 32GK850F 31.5-inch Monitor- 16:9 QHD 2560x1440 144Hz, AMD Radeon FreeSync 2, VESA DisplayHDR 400

Surely this would do me at around £424. Breaks £400 but worth it for the screen real estate?
