[Not solved but I have bought a monitor] Monitor under $130?

[abcdefghivjklmnop]

Hi there, I am looking into buying a monitor since my laptops monitor is 15.6inches which is waay to small for me. The screen is okay but I would prefer better.

What I want::

IPS or similiar. 
Fine viewing angles. 
20+ inches.
under 130 dollars/euros/pounds. 

Slim bezels to then upgrade for a dual/triple monitor setup. 
Durable and will last 2+ years.

What I found: 

BenQ GW2283 

 

This monitor has all the specs I need and theres no bad reviews on it whilst there is on any other monitor I have found around 120 pounds or less. 

 

My questions:

Is there a similiar monitor like this but cheaper/more durable? 

Am I being trolled and this monitor is bad and wont last long? 

 

Anyways once again thanks for reading and hopefully you guys can help me out. Btw I am in Europe so buying from china/US is not an option.

You get what you pay for.

130$ is not much for a Monitor.

There is a Reason the good ones costs alot.

There is a great one on amazon called the Sceptre E248W-19203R. I have one at home, and it is cheap, has lasted a while, has variable sync, and the control panel is fairly easy to navigate. It has a very good TN panel, and I even mistook it for an IPS because the viewing angles are actually fairly good. Don't know it this will help, but it is on sale for 100$. It is normally only 112 or so though.

What i mean is, in that price range, there is not much difference in case of Quality.

I do like it and the 22' version is $85 but im in Europe and the tax will make it lke 160. Thanks for the help though.

The monitor that was originally suggested was BenQ. I would always trust them because they are such a reputable company, so I do not think that it is a scam. If you like that one, go ahead. If you play FPS games, many of the BenQ monitors have a Black Equalizer function that allows you to see enemies in the shadows. You can always turn that off though it you don't like it.

At that price, just buy the cheapest monitor u can find that meets ur spec requirements, they are all going to be bottom of the barely displays.

 

Understand u cant get picky with monitors until ur looking at about £/$400 price range.

 

At £120, ur looking at just getting ' a monitor' .

Yes, that should be reliable. It looks like it has good reviews on Amazon, and it is BenQ. They are a reputable company for great gaming monitors. I wonder though. I don't know if that is your computer, but why did an i7 3930k get paired with a 1080ti? There is a very large CPU bottleneck right there.

Not really.

 

CPU bottlenecks rely on multiple things, not least of which is FPS caps,game detail levels and the corresponding GPU load, and the type of game itself. Game engine bottlenecks can occur long before the likes of an OC'ed 3930k get in the way.

 

Of course make no mistake, if i were to run something easy like CSGO , i wouldn't reach the max FPS possible vs someone with a 9900k and 1080ti , but the FPS will still be plenty high enough.

 

Im more a 'quality' person rather than max FPS, so i rarely ..in fact never see a problem with my CPU getting in the way. If i run a game that 'could' hit say 165fps ..ill downsample 4k instead to get better visuals. In other words, ill always setup a game so that the GPU is the limiting factor, which u'd be surprised how many games can do that even at 1080p.

 

 

And ofc if its wasnt obvious, the 1080ti was an upgrade. The system original ran a 780 Classified.

And heres another kicker for you. Once i get my hands on LGs CX 48" OLED, and Nvidia / AMD release their new GPU's , ill be upgrading the 1080ti to a newer more powerful GPU so i can run via HDMI 2.1 4k 120hz. and ill still be rocking my 3930k
