Looking for 3 1080p monitors for under £130 each

[MrTomLA]

I plan to create a 3 monitor setup but not sure what to look for. Are there any must have monitors for the price range? And apart from response time, resolution and size is there anything I should be keeping my eye on?

[Matty2hatty]

go for the mx239h for a great bezel less its display

[MrTomLA]

The 24" model or the 23"? Im guessing thats just personal preference. The 24" is a little out of my price range

Refresh rate is extremely important, gsync or freesync and brightness

Ok thanks. Do you have any favourites under my price range?

Freesync or gsync at 130? Probably not going to happen.

I was thinking that. Do you have any suggestions?

Just a word of caution, If you intend on playing with the 3 monitors setup, there will be some games that wont run smoothly even on a 980ti.

I own 3 monitors (DELL U2414H) and a EVGA GTX 980 TI Hybrid and I can´t play GTA V on maxed settings above 29FPS without any overclock. my solution was to sell the center monitor and buy an ASUS PG278Q (1ms, 144hz and gsync monitor) and play only with that monitor while using the others for multitask.

check out the DELL Model.

Take freesync or ips. Nvidia doesn't support Freesync. TBH, I would get a Freesync Ultrawide. Easier to drive and will look faaaaar better.

I am well aware of the performance requirements for a project like this. But thanks for the heads up. I dont plan to play GTA on such a resolutions but less demanding games like American Truck Sim and racing games. But ill check that out thanks!

There is no difference between freesync and gsync, if u buy a nvidia GPU then go with gsync but if u buy amd u go with freesync

@sitdowncrew, what graphics card/s will you be using?

There is one important difference,

FreeSync is Much cheaper the gsync

either way, it all comes down to what graphics card he/she has.

Ok, so if you do want to spend a little more, you have to go with Gsync monitors (NVIDIA)  instead of FreeSync (AMD).

Whats the advantages of IPS?

It doesnt have to be Gsync. Would bea bonus but I know that can get expensive.

I have an Nvidia GPU. Which I believe doent take advantage of the freesync.

I see, it's still a decent monitor for the price, and if Nvidia stop being angry kitties about their proprietary things, they may support freesync in the future.

Yeah, price wise that is perfect. Definitely worth considering. Would you happen to know the advantages of having an IPS monitor?
