I had a G-Story Freesync portable monitor (this one: https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B0819DG4Q5/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1) but sold it on. It was fine, had a nice picture, but the general build quality was rather cheap. It was about €300 if I remember correctly, probably because of the Freesync support and decent refresh rate. If I were to buy again, it would be from a main brand like Asus. Argos sells the ASUS MB168B within your budget, but it has no HDMI interface, just USB 3.0. Is there any reason not to buy from one of the European amazon sites e.g. amazon.de?

The only reason was shipping times to be honest.....
amazon.de is approx. 2 weeks for most if not all of them.
I saw the ASUS ones alright, like you said - no HDMI input.

Ah fair enough, the issue really is choice is fairly limited here. Here's another option that might work for you:

It is over budget and you would need a HDMI to USB-C adapter.

I suppose you could also try the likes of Elara.ie to see what they have?
