Which monitor shall I buy?

[racialrabbit]

Hey guys! I'm looking at purchasing a montior to replace my awful 22" 1600x900 display!

 

I have a budget of roughly £150 - can spend more if really need be! I really liked the look of the RoG Swift but i'm only on apprenticeship wages atm!

 

For now I can only afford the one screen but will be purchasing another 1/2 and want them all to match.

 

My current PC is decent but not the greatest (was a budget build) and I'm going to be upgrading it pretty soon (looking at the 980)

 

Here are my current specs:

 

Operating System
            Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit SP1
        CPU
            Intel Core i5 4670K @ 3.40GHz    39 °C
            Haswell 22nm Technology
        RAM
            8.00GB Dual-Channel DDR3 @ 666MHz (9-9-9-24)
        Motherboard
            MSI Z87-G41 PC Mate(MS-7850) (SOCKET 0)    32 °C
        Graphics
            22W_LCD_TV (1600x900@59Hz)
            1024MB ATI AMD Radeon HD 7700 Series (XFX Pine Group)    38 °C
        Storage
            931GB Seagate ST1000DM003-1CH162 ATA Device (SATA)    32 °C
            232GB Western Digital WDC WD2500LPVT-00G33T0 ATA Device (SATA)    27 °C
            232GB Seagate ST9250827AS ATA Device (SATA)    27 °C

 

Any suggestions?

Do you mind shopping on ebay?

If not, this looks like a nice monitor

Took the specs from Speccy which puts the temp readings on there automatically, didn't think to remove them.

Another thing I should mention is that I HATE bezels! and that I'm going to be using the monitor for gaming (can't believe I forgot to mention that!)

can you skip a couple of happy meals and squeeze out another 50quid? 

 

then you could get http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/part/benq-monitor-xl2411z

 

see that 144hz glory; even your video card will manage that fps for source games and stuff... and hell, you`ll have a futureproof monitor that will last you for QUITE A WHILE

 

the suggested IPS`s are also very good, but if you can spend a 100quid more then id suggest http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MO-129-LG&groupid=17&catid=2907

not 144hz, but will last you for a while too... and gaming on 21:9 is also glorious
