Hello people of the Linus Tech Tips Forum!

 

I need help finding a monitor for my new custom built computer.

 

GPU: rx 560

CPU: Ryzen 1600

MB: Asus B-350F Gaming

 

Things the monitor must have:

-1080p resolution (Not higher, Not lower, I don't thing my GPU can handle anything more than 1080p while gaming)

-27 Inches of length

-An acceptable looking base

-Okay colors for movies

-Okay response times for games (I don't need a 144hz 1ms display, Im just a casual gamer)

-A price under $250 (Cheaper is better, of course)

-Durable construction

 

Things I would like:

-1800R curvature

-Good Colors

-Good response times

-Mainly black and/or grey in color

 

I would be using the monitor for movie watching and casual gaming.

If you need more information just ask.

I will be thankful for any advice.

 

=)

Does this mean you want a 2560x1080 curved display? Or did you mean an actual 1920x1080 curved display?

1800R refers to how curved a screen is. I guess I could have just said "Curved". I want a 1920x1080 Display.
