Gaming Monitor Deals & Offers

Depends on your GPU and the game. I have an R390 Nitro 8GB and it can run Shadows of Mordor at 3400 by 1400 on ultra settings at around 55-75 fps so the Freesync works a treat and the games run without tearing or stuttering. You will have to drop the settings on more demanding games but Gsync monitors usually start at 30Hz unlike some of their Freesync counterparts. Also for work the increase in resolution allows for 4 pages side by side with the text crisp and easy to read and ultrawide videos look gorgeous. People are obsessed with high frame rates but it isn't as important with single player and non FPS titles. I'd rather play a title like Skyrim running project ENB and drop the visuals in favour of a higher resolution with a 34 inch panel at this price. Text will be far from crisp on a screen this size at 2560 by 1080. Unfortunately Nvidia owners have to pay a premium monitor manufacturers are being charged to implement their hardware which really isn't fair. Just my thoughts.

Well said, What about if gaming is your thing but not FPS?

For FPS, 2560 by 1080 is definitely a better experience with the higher refresh rates and being easier to drive games at the required frame rates needed to take advantage of GSYNC. For everything else, including general gaming, 3400 by 1400 looks stunning, being easier to drive than full 4K panels. More demanding games (Witcher 3 for example) will struggle unless you have a beefy GPU. If gaming isn't your main priority, I'd pick 3400 by 1400 with lower refresh rates over this any day. (nerd)

but but but its 160hz

Is this some sort of a Meme, 600 quid for a Sub 1440p monitor, (shock)

Nice! Could you please reccomend a monitor for PS4 use only ?

The (QD VA) Samsung C24FG73 is the best overall 144hz/1080p/FreeSync monitor. But if you prefer TN, go for the Viewsonic XG202 or AOC G2590PX/Acer KG251QF. Those last 2 options use the newest TN panel from AU Optronics; which offers better contrast, colour accuracy and lower response times than previous-gen TN monitors. Here's a great price (£159.99) for the Acer screen mentioned - https://www.ebuyer.com/811123-acer-kg251qf-24-5-144hz-full-hd-gaming-monitor-um-kx1ee-f01 This is a much better buy than the ASUS from this deal.

So what's the best 1080p 144Hz monitor then?

I’ve literally just set this up having bought it yesterday for £10 more (that Amazon won’t refund!). Yes it’s bright if you leave it as it is out the box. Tinker with the settings and it’s fine, barely takes any time. The monitor itself, I should add, looks very impressive. I’ve just replaced a 10 year old Samsung and I bought that for about £180. This one is worth the money in my opinion

Before or after calibration?

The GTG response time is 4ms and this LG is 5ms so much the same as far as response time goes they both have that 1ms blur thing so the thing is are the built in speakers worth the difference in price true response time can be found here https://www.displayspecifications.com/en/model/d40d12f7

Isn't this monitors 1ms with motion blur reduction a similar thing to the Acer's 1ms Visual Response Boost ?

The only big difference is the response time and the built in speaker, the reason why it's more expensive because you hardly see ips and 1ms response time together, I would say if you have the money and you would prefer to have 1ms with built in speakers then choose the Acer one, however if you don't have money choosing the one that is posted wouldn't be a bad idea since you can always plug in speakers and sometimes you won't be able to see the difference between different response time

This is good for going even though it has a 5ms response time, if you think about it, it has ips, 75hz which is very good for this price

Pretty sure it just standard 60hz refresh rate..

I got x34a best grand i ever spent

' 'What technologies we need' lol.

Right, I don't think any games/consumer hardware can run games at 4k 144hz, though, at the moment.

Not if you specifically want an ultrawide. 4k is still hard to drive especially at 144hz or 144 FPS.

Mine has also arrived. Surprised at how beautiful TN panels are nowadays. Thanks for the spot OP. Never had G-sync before, it is game changing.

My Screen arrived - absolutely perfect and brand new.... so glad I purchased

Even if you can't hit 240hz it doesn't matter, G-Sync solves screen tearing. You can set it at 144hz if you want but there's no real benefit.

Good luck finding 144+ hz, gsync monitor then for 2 bills... these people..

Wouldnt pay over 2 bills for a 1080p monitor

Thanks, been told it's not a blown pixel - looks like screen damage given the size of the bad area. Really frustrating.

You will probably get the monitor he is returning. They'll send it straight from his house. ;)

Damn sorry to hear that hopefully you can get it sorted out Amazon are usually great when it comes to returns etc... Mines is due tomorrow fingers crossed its fine and that I actually like it :)

I would recommend complaining to Amazon CS. You may get a gift card credit.

It arrived this morning and was clearly not new (manufacturer tape cut, parts not packaged correctly, finger prints all over the screen). Had a blown pixel and was likely returned by another customer. Currently waiting on an ETA for a new unit - told I may have to wait two days for their process to go through. Total cluster****.

This is out of date

More effort for both you and them, to get the same result :/ Companies do baffle me sometimes

Great monitor, bought it at £200 a few weeks ago where I posted the deal. Amazon not willing to refund the difference so for £40 I've bought it again and have to return the Amazon one, oh well, for £40 jobs a good un'. Cheers OP.

On Amazon for the same price. Just bought one myself, should get delivered tomorrow

I am soooo tempted to buy this...however...I just don't need it. Using my left hand to pull my right hand away from clicking the buy button (fierce)

I have recently purchased a 29" model. Bloody love the thing! I know alot of people have plenty to moan on these - yes they are a little on the expensive side but they're worth it in my opinion. The only fall to these is I'd say you'd be better looking on places like ebay you can net a perfect conditioned 29" one from around £140-£180 if you're patient enough. I waited around a month and saw a few go by until I had the money aside to purchase one of these guilt free lol. All LG's ultrawides are freesync enabled so you can clock them up to 75hz I use mine currently as a 2nd screen for a laptop or use with a PS4.

Good monitor. I paid £129 for it though from amazon

Thanks for the advice. I'd like to keep it at 24" because it's going to be on a desk and 24" seems to be the sweet spot when sitting close.

I dont think the xbox one supports an ultrawide resolution, so you would likely just get a 1080p image when the xbox could output a 4k one, id say you are better with what you have and save up for a 4k, though im not sure you would get one as small as 24" or if you would notice the resolution bump at that size

Ive just ordered the Acer predator. Is this better with fresync?. I dont know what that is. Its for my teenagers birthday for pro rocket league. Thanks

The title of the product says it’s 114hz(excited)

Ordered one, cheers.

Wonderful deal (y)

good find

Great stuff. Looking forward to mine arriving.

Ordered. Mate has one, looks great

I bought this last week on laptops direct and have been very impressived by it. The difference between 60fps and 144/240hz is ridiculous

For AMD cards, it synchronizes the monitor's frame rate with the frame rate being rendered by the GPU - which eliminates screen tearing and makes gameplay smoother.

Ive got the Pg258q which I think is the same panel but a different monitor. They're stunning. But the bezel is deceptive. Looks like there's barely any bezel while it's off but once on an additional black border becomes visible. You can see the border here if you scroll down the page a bit to the images. It's the grey ish not quite black border that's shown when the screen is off. It's not a big deal, but it's wider than the narrow bezel suggest. A lot of displays are like this. I have another benq display with a completely different panel that does the same thing. It looks almost bezel free when off but switch it on and there's a hidden border. Edit: a word. Additional info. To be clear, I'm not bashing the display. The border under the glass thing is pretty common.

24inch for 400 is not a deal even with 1 ms, 2560 x 1440 at 165 Hz, Nvidia G-Sync. 27inch at 450 would be. thats what I'm waiting for. and should be cheaper considering the latest generation of gpu and 4k monitors are around the corner.

I think within 30 days ofnpurchase they send a replacement and give you time return the faulty unit.

Normally Dell is three years and they send a box for you to put yours in and collect from yr home.

What’s the difference? Haven’t checked mysel

And the warranty.

Expired, back to £352 unless I'm missing something?

There's an adapter plate thing in the box that you screw in to the monitor.

In the description it says it supports VESA mounting, I can't see how though?

I own the hp omen 32 and its a va panel. No ips glow...

I have the 27”, colour and viewing angle no where near an IPS but got used to it and gsync is fantastic. For the price it good value versus what else is out there.

I'd like to buy a semi for that kind of money, my rent in 1 bed flat was £700 4 years ago

Post it! :D

No Leicester (embarrassed)

Definitely a good price compared to the Alienware equivalent (AW3418DW), which is currently hard to find for under £1000.

;) Do you live in Hull?

Bugger. Payday and I was hoping this deal would still be on!

@AceyUK hmm, super strange, I can only seem to get mine to output a max of 144Hz at 1080p. I'd say its definitely a graphical limitation then (still running a GTX660, although after researching around people have said it can output 240Hz), I'm waiting to upgrade but just waiting for the prices to drop a little more first. Thanks for the help and the screenshot :) Much appreciated.

Not a dumb question, messed with me too! it IS in the nvidia settings, I missed it a few times :| Although even after that, in my actual monitor settings (not nvidia), it thinks its 120hz, but its definitely at 240hz. it recognizes that its 240hz now :/

I've managed to create a custom profile 1920x1080 @ 144Hz but for some reason it won't up to 240Hz. Might just be a graphics card limitation possibly.

right click desktop then display settings then click display adapter properties and under monitor tab should have option to select the 240hz, thats how i do it anyway.
