1080p 60Hz monitor for casual gaming

[xMishax]

Good evening everyone Im planning to buy a new monitor, however I have no idea where to start. ATM I own LG Flatron W2243S (1920x1080 60Hz monitor) that was bought somewhere between 2009-2010. It would still keep it as its still decent, has no problems at all, but sadly that monitor has only VGA connector and with recent GPU releases there is no way of connecting my ol'monitor to the GPU apart from adapters. So I need something for a change and I also need community's help as Im rookie in "monitor" buying.
Things I need

- Resolution of 1920x1080 (I guess my PC is mostly suited for that res)

- Refresh Rate 60Hz

- Budget of somewhere around 150 Euros, preferably less if possible

- I dont need a super duper competitive gaming monitor Im casual gamer playing AAA titles and some MOBA's from time to time. 1080p 60fps is all I need.
- I guess speakers are not needed aswell as I have a decent sound system and headphones.

- Atleast DVI-D connection, HDMI/DP would be cool aswell but not a must

- Good colors and decent image for games and movies

- All the changable stands, VESA and tilts are not a must for me

So guys, is there anything at that budget price range that could suffice my needs?
I will be buying from this vendor: http://www.skytech.lt/

Thank you in advance and have a nice day :)))

AMD or NVIDIA?

I have the AOC 23" IPS I2367F 1080p monitor and I love it, it doesn't seem to be on the site you linked though...

 

Any IPS monitor from a good brand should be good though.

Freesync/GSync monitors don't exist in his budget.

Why do you need to buy off that site?

Out of the box accuracy for me would be LG. I've only had to calibrate a few.

Not very big but it is the only monitor with an IPS panel that fits in your budget.

And if you want good colors and decent images, IPS is the way to go

 

And afaik it matches most of the other requirements, you might check them yourself to be sure.

 

edit: hang on there are more of them, derp, never used the website before

I have that one! Love it  It has a bunch of ports so maybe something for you? It doesn't have a very flexible foot but it does have vesa mount support.

Thats the biggest tech vendor in our country that has best prices and bigest variety of products thats why moreover buying things from amazon or ebay or neweggs would be more reasonable however all the shipping fees and things cost really a lot and you might have some problems with RMA.

Agree with that Using LG at the moment and it is brilliant, too bad it has only VGA connection

there is actually one monitor with freesync for a very low price - http://www.skytech.lt/ls22f350fhuxen-samsung-s22f350fhu-led-monitorius-amd-freesync-215-coliu-full-192-p-305122.html

however Im kind of suspicious about it as Ive never seen freesync monitor to be that cheap. It probably has some other issues.

Well it is TN and they clearly cheaped out on the I/O.

 

If you didn't want nice colors it's an option, but because it's TN i wouldn't get it.

Watching video's with an IPS panel is a real improvement

 

If you get a new monitor with an IPS panel, try to connect the new one and the old one at the same time and do some side-by-side comparisons.

I'm sure you will understand then why IPS is so important

Aye. I guess I will just go with the one you have and will call it a day :-D then gonna do some testing to see how it feels.

Okay

Little tip: put the color temp. setting to sRGB.

It's in the color setup tab, if you have the monitor you should be able to find it quite easily

 

Imo it really shows the capabilities of the IPS panel that way.

Hell I would keep both of them just to have an extra monitor. Gives the PC that little extra "I'm badass" it needs.
