Almost anything will work but I try to avoid LG and other unknown brands.

Also check if it has the right connections Hdmi/dvi

Are you saying LG is an unknown brand? Either way LG monitors are pretty great.

LG=Unknown.... Huh?

Should be fixed. 

 

Pretty much just go onto pcpartpicker and filter by price and have a look for one that you like. For £100 you're not going to get anything amazing, but they'll do.

Whoops sorry I typed it in a wrong way. Most stuff from LG is pretty good but i've only had bad luck with LG monitors they all died in 2 years.

Anecdotal bad experiences with LG doesn't mean warning someone away from them. Mention reasons as to why you're advising to steer clear of them. For example "I try to steer clear from them because all the monitors I've bought from them have died within 2 years" is more informative. Another example is when I bad-mouth XFX I talk about how their cards are voltage locked with barely adequate cooling and iffy customer service, all of which can be found with a quick search.

i always recommend the AOC i2369vm when people ask for cheap 1080p monitors. It's IPS and i can't tell a difference of the image quality between that and the PB278Q. :)

I said I stay away from LG but that doesn't say he should do so.

Also i've had bad xfx cards but older and newer models are good same goes for LG they make good products but not all of them are good.

 

But at that pricerange look for AOC or Samsung screens.

It may not be £100 but you can't ignore the very popular Acer H236HLbid IPS monitor. It's a worthy contender I think. :D

For some reason on Amazon it has two different prices.

Acer H236HLbid: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Acer-H236HLBmjd-inch-Widescreen-Monitor/dp/B00B07RA9Q/ref=sr_1_1?s=computers&ie=UTF8&qid=1399299145&sr=1-1&keywords=Acer+H236HLbid | http://www.amazon.co.uk/Acer-H226HQLbmid-21-5-Widescreen-Monitor/dp/B00B07RA6E/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1399299317&sr=8-2&keywords=Acer+H236HL

ON A 7 MONTH BREAK FROM THESE LTT FORUMS. WILL BE BACK ON NOVEMBER 5th.
