New monitor

diyeys

Hi all,

I need a new PC monitor. I will use it mostly for gaming and for general use (work, youtube, etc).

I am looking for a 27 inches monitor and my budget would be around 350 - 400 euros.

Any recommendations?

Thanks

Can't recommend AOC monitor's enough.

Seeing "Usually dispatched within 1 to 3 months" on the page would turn me right off. Reviews not to great either.

It's in stock with Amazon. 1 to 3 months from AOC.

It's got double the response time. Do a quick google for reviews.

Samsung 27" curved. Don't think it's too fancy (4k with a high refresh rate) but cheap enough for what it is.

That Samsung isn't 4K.

I might go with the AOC Grahamer suggested. I am just wondering if my budget could get me something better.

Thanks everyone for the help

It's 1080p 60hz. I meant it doesn't have the fancy stuff like 4k @ high refresh rate

You could get a 1440p 10-bit panel panel with 70/75Hz refresh rate

Or an entry-level 27" 1440p 144Hz monitor

This could be down to taste but do people find 27" is too big for desktop gaming? Maybe it's the distance I'm at but 24" seems ideal.

Nah, i hate 24" monitors personally. Even going to upgrade to a 35" Ultrawide next year.

Maybe look into the Specsavers range of monitors

I'm in the market my self for a 1440p 100+ hz monitor but selection isnt that great.

has to be gsync. ( which honestly is ridiculous on nvidias account, they should be utilizing free sync.

If you want to chance it, there's currently a workaround for getting freesync running with their cards (you use a cheap AMD card or built in graphics to handle the freesync while all the actual processing happens on the Nvidia card).

Yeah, I saw that but I really cannot be arsed with the hassle of that. I'm just rambling.

I think Jenson wang is a prick who tries to make his brand an ecosystem, :mad:

Jakob.de seems to be cheapest for Dell S2417DG (€451 delivered).

If I was going to spend that much on a monitor, I would go the extra €100 to get the IPS panel:

I looked at that and honestly its a pretty high possibility. Not overly excited about tn panels but I also have to watch my budget.

yep, it's getting cheaper all the time, I've got a calibrated monitor my dad wants and if I sell it to him for €150 it might ease the dent.

When I say dent I can contribute towards it as I'm getting it as a birthday present.

keep an eye on the amazon warehouse as well I picked up one of these last week for £305 https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00U2FDO4C/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
