Best monitor for under 380€

Senenter

Hi!

 

I am looking to upgrade from my LG LG 23MP65HQ-P. Sadly i am unable to find something that ticks all of my boxes, the monitor should be: Atleast 2K in resolution, IPS (5ms response time) 5ms is enough for me since in game casually (WoW / Overwatch / PUBG etc), height adjust and pivot etc. I did recently buy a BenQ BL2420PT, which had horrible input lag. It was 5ms in response time (like my LG) but the input lag was god horrible (I now use it as my 2nd monitor on the side). Even in normal use you could notice it. Tying into my last point: Input lag should be the same as my LG. Since i dont have any problems with that. Oh and 25 inch is the maximum for me. ( the Dell Ultrasharp U2518D is something i am looking at atm )

 

Thanks for any suggestions!

Any 1440p 144hz IPS display you can find? They're all going to be 27", it's not much bigger than 25 inches.

I edit my posts a lot, Twitter is @LordStreetguru just don't ask PC questions there mostly...

What is your budget/country for your new PC?

 

what monitor resolution/refresh rate?

 

What games or other software do you need to run?

Look used. I've bought literally all my current monitors used. ROG Swift PG278Q, PB278Q, and MX34VQ, all for around half retail, two still in the box. The MX34VQ (3440x1440 100Hz), I got for $450, which is probably just over 400 euros (not what you're looking for but just throwing it out for comparison). I think i got the ROG swift for around $320

Mostly just look for free-sync displays as they'll be the cheaper ones, here's a german part picker link anyways, there some 24" models, but that's a bit small for 1440p, and I don't think those are IPS
