Best monitor for under £100

Britanian
Go to solution Solved by tpoar,

Im ok without ips, coz it wont be used when its not right infront of me, I think I will choose the Acer G226HQLHBD

yeah the panel is actually quite good on them i use two and the angle dosnt effect the picture in anyway

What is the best all round monitor for under £100

By best I mean what is generally the best: size, refresh rate, resolution. What ever you think is important, I will be doing gaming, slight video editing, general use and more gaming.

Thaks,

Brit,

Ok, since I made the mistake of thinking my first suggestion was an IPS monitor I looked more carefully this time. And yes, I know it's 7 pounds over budget.

its just the type of panel the screen uses ips has better viewing angle and usually better colours but for under £100 you will struggle to find one

IPS gets you better color reproduction and better viewing angles at the expense of refresh rate (limited to "only" 60Hz)
