£150 Display

[gRaMaR]

Hi guys,

 

I am almost done getting my parts for my gaming pc, and now I am asking myself which monitor to get for this. I can spend around £150 (UK), and I have already been recommended BENQ RL2455HM which looks decent, I just wondered if there is something better than this.

 

Just in case anyone wondered, that is my build:

you can probably buy a really nice display for 150 GBP. that's like 270$.

 

I recommend an IPS panel unless you're going to be playing like, high level competitive DOTA or CSGO.

 

Can you link the BenQ monitor you would like to buy please?

Here you go, that is the one that I got recommended: http://www.amazon.co.uk/BenQ-RL2455HM--inch-Gaming-Monitor/dp/B00CFFFGUM/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1419112462&sr=8-1&keywords=rl2455hm

Looking for other options, if there are any better of course.

Would love to get 120 or 144hz, but its probably impossible withing this price range.

Just let me ask this. do you care about nice colors or hz?

Because those are huge factors in the decision.

Well, I want to get a good quality of games, especially with this powerful GPU, and tbh I haven't played on higher than 60HZ, but everyone is saying that it is amazing, so obviously it would be nice to get one and try out more HZ

More hz is really not going to make as much difference as a good colour depth, I would be definitely sure before you continue.

Is there anything that you propose then, because all that I expect from a monitor is a good quality and no lags etc. If none of you have any better option that Benq RL2455HM, then tell me and I will just go with Benq.

Sooo, now my question in, which one to get?

Benq RL2455HM or Asus VE247/8H.

Help !!!
