Hi guys,

 

I'm shopping around for a pair of cheap 24" 1080p monitors for a mix of working and gaming. My computer is currently connected to a 4k 55" TV which is fine but I'm finding it impractical for work life, in an ideal world I would like both monitors to use Display Port and my TV to remain connected using HDMI as I do not have enough HDMI ports for all three, I could use a Display Port/HDMI adapter but I've never used one, are there any downsides?

 

So far the best option I have found is the BenQ GW2480 which is IPS, has Display Port, can be Vesa mounted, isn't overly expensive and apparently can be overclocked to 75hz. I don't need anything too fancy like Freesync or HDR and my budget I'd say is a maximum of £110. I'm wondering if you guys know of any suitable alternatives or have any input regarding this monitor?

I've personally bought all of my monitors second hand (and picked them up myself too). This allows you to get something for much cheaper than new would get you. :) As for something specific, I do not know much about that, I'm afraid.

That BenQ one is nice. I did however found a slightly cheaper one that is 75 Hz out of the box. Plus, Ive heard good things from this brand too.

Thanks a lot for the recommendation but I'm unable to find that monitor within the UK. Also it's lacking a Display Port. My GPU has x2 hdmi and x2 display port, I'd prefer both monitors use display while the TV uses hdmi
