I have been using my trusty BenQ FP241W 24" 1920x1200 since 2007, but it has decided to start displaying a 1 pixel horizontal line across the whole width of the screen 1/4 of the way down from the top since a few weeks back I feel it is time for an upgrade. The main use for my computer is gaming, driving games and FPS, with a little photo editing and website design.

I guess my main requirements and or questions are:
  • £225-250
  • IPS Panel?
  • Aspect ratio? Bit of confusion here would a 21:9 1080p screen be good for gaming or should I stick with a 16:9 1080p screen. In an ideal world I would like to stretch the budget to a 16:9 1440p screen.
  • 24" - 27"?
  • Needs to last me a good 5-10 years if possible
  • Is 144hz out of the question at this price?
At the moment I'm leaning towards the LG 25UM58-P 25"

Thanks in advance for your help folks
