Budget monitor

AndreiArgeanu

I need some help choosing a monitor for gaming, I'm most of a casual gamer so I don't need any fancy stuff like high refresh rate and G-Sync. The ideal monitor should be at most 100£ (130USD) but the ideal price is around 80-90£ (100USD). I need a new monitor because I am gaming on a laptop which only has 15.6 inch panel and I used a 24 inch monitor before and there was a big difference in the experience but also I was playing better too. I have looked around on amazon for a bit and there are a lot of monitors in that price range from different brand and it's difficult to make a choice and there are also a lot of reviews which put me off every product. The ideal monitor should have around 24 inches (not a must) and must have an HDMI port.

I was looking at this Aoc monitor seeing it was a best seller I think it may be ideal perhaps the 24 inch one or 22 inch.

Products don't have to be specifically from Amazon, other website work as well

You either want a 1080p 60hz IPS display

 

Or 1080p 75hz TN free-sync display

 

Just check free-sync monitors in the part picker mostly, if you up your budget a bit you can get a 1080p 75Hz IPS free-sync display

What games or other software do you need to run?

You can also get cheap samsung PLS panels and overclock them to 75hz, not free-sync but pretty cheap.
