Best gaming monitor on a £500 budget

Posted 21st Aug 2023
Hello, I have a reasonable PC (3070 Ti) and looking for a good monitor on a £500 budget with the imminent arrival of Starfield in mind.

What would you guys recommend?

Thanks in advance

    All personal preference but I'd try and get a 42" 120hz oled for 600 admittedly it would be a used with warranty / customer return etc but once you have Oled you can't go back

    I have a S2721dgf that seems to get good reviews. 1440p, around £260 on a good day. Your 3070Ti might struggle at 4K in some games? Not sure really.

    yep, its all horses for courses.
    Some people are happy with TN and 240fps...
    I realised that if (for example) I had £1300 I would rather spend £650 on the monitor (OLED) and £650 on the PC than £1k on a great PC and £300 on a monitor. The monitor makes a huge difference and is a better long term investment than a more rapidly depreciating PC. Better to have previous gen GPU etc (as you do).

    I have a 34" UW MSI MPG341CQR and as much as I like it for work, it just isn't in the same league as the OLED for playing games etc.
