    When I get some time I plan to build a 1000 Euro gaming PC - in the interim I however need to pick up a monitor for around 250 Euro which I will need for a separate project

    Anyone recommend a monitor I can buy that will also suffice for when I eventually buy a PC? Budget 250

    TIA

    Bought the Samsung Odyssey 5 27inch this week for about 270(Maybe slightly lower)

    It's a treat so far. 144Hz and 1440 - only Monitor on the market with those specs under 300 quid

    why would they limit themselves to 1080 now when they will probably be getting a better GPU down the line as monitors are usually kept for several builds?

    Agree, the above is a great monitor and they're in two versions: 27 and 34inch.

    Where did you get it from? Price point sounds about right for me
