One Final Part...

My first ever build is done and the last thing I need is a monitor.

 

I'm completely clueless when it comes to monitors, I don't know whether I should be using HDMI or DisplayPort as my graphics card (R7-265) has both.

I'm going to be playing EVE Online mostly and I live in the UK.

 

I don't mind spending up to about £180 if need be.

 

Do you guys have any suggestions ? What do you use ?

 

 

Thanks in advance   :)

I personally like the Acer H236hl bid if you can get one, or almost any 24" LG IPS monitor.

I've heard of it but never played it  :(

Well it isn't out yet (fully). Just making sure you were aware of it. Gonna be massive fun.

Ketchup is better than mustard.

GUI is better than Command Line Interface.

So DisplayPort or HDMI ?

it only matter in higher than 1080p 60fps monitors . So if its 1080p 120fps use DP , if it's 1440p 60 fps use DP BUT : i would recommend an IPS 1080p 60fps monitor .

Thank you, this is exactly the kind of answer I was after. Do you think I could get an IPS 1080p 60fps monitor for less the £203 however ?

Try looking elsewhere ( other British pc hardware shops ) for the monitor i linked , i got mine for around £140 and its absolutely sublime . Especially in colorful games like Hearthstone

Looks like it yhea  , it's possible amazon just overpriced it for the moment or they are out of stock ( since the monitor is nice it sells like bread )
