Monitor for Xbox

I'm currently using a 23 inch TV that is becoming a little small these days so I'm considering something like a 27 inch monitor instead.

It is for my X1X and it will be used for gaming, YouTube and Netflix. 

I don't have much money so I'm looking at 1080p IPS which is fine because the X1X supersamples 4k down and as well as that, I want Netflix to still look good.

I know that 27" 1080p is not good for a PC monitor because of how close you sit and being able to see the pixels but I'l be sitting over 3 feet away and as I said, only for gaming.

What are your thoughts?

would you want a monitor with speakers or are you just using a headset?

Edit: So no, I wouldnt need speakers on the monitor.

Up to £250 which I believe is roughly $300.

Okay, lemme try to look around for you, that shouldn't be too hard to find.

Here are two I found that wouldn't be a bad choice: 

Option 1: https://dell.to/2zfayDM

This one has a 5ms response time but it's lower in price.

Option 2: https://amzn.to/2QMPziw

This one is a bit more but has a 1ms response time, would be better for gaming.

 

Let me know what you think!
