Best Value All Round Monitor

ust4ever · Sep 1, 2014

Hi all, I plan to buy two new monitors and mount them together on a VESA stand. I'm going to use them for Gaming, Films and a little bit of editing videos. Because of this, a decent refresh rate and low response time would be great. Accurate colours would be a bonus too.

I'd like them to be between 23 and 25 inches each, and to cost around £120 each (perhaps I could spare an extra £40 if need be)

Does anyone have any good suggestions?

Great monitor with an IPS display. Description from newegg:

AOC 69V Series AH-IPS Monitor uses In-Plane Switching technology for better color accuracy and greater light transmission from all viewing positions. The monitor isequipped with the Clear Vision image performance engine and features Ultra-high Dynamic Contrast Ratio of 20,000,000:1 to reveal darker areas of content with greater depth.The I2369V 23" AH-IPS monitor offers a barrier-free viewing experience with its ultra-narrow bezel design, ideally suited for use in dual monitor or multiple monitor setups. The VESA Wall Mount lets you transform this sophisticated glossy black monitor into a glamorous frame that becomes an aesthetic decoration for your home or office interior.

The best you can get is 76Hz for your price range, and I wouldn't recommend that brand. 1ms response would be awesome to go with, so this is my first suggestion (24", FHD, 1ms, 60Hz, DVI, 128 bucks):

Monitor: BenQ RL2455HM 60Hz 24.0" Monitor (£127.49 @ Scan.co.uk)

But on that one, the bazels might be too fat for good multi monitor setup, so I'd suggest this one with 2ms response and a few bucks less, but really thin bazel:

Monitor: BenQ GL2460HM 60Hz 24.0" Monitor (£120.47 @ Amazon UK)

What's wrong with AOC?. The picture on pcpartpicker is wrong, here's the actual monitor.

As you can see it has an extremely thin bezel, and it has a beautiful IPS display. It's the best monitor he can get for the price.

Also most people can't tell the difference between a 1ms and 5ms monitor.

I don't have any issues with your suggestion, I didn't even see it in the list (my bad), but was actually refraining from suggesting this one:

Looks cheap for the specs (24", FHD, 5ms, 75Hz, 115 bucks)

Monitor: V7 LED236W3R-8N 75Hz 24.0" Monitor (£113.18 @ Amazon UK)

Ok guys, IF I said I had an extra £40 per monitor, what would you suggest then. I don't mind spending a bit more if it pays off in the long run.

RazerZ · Sep 1, 2014

For £40 more there really isn't anything worth getting. The next upgrade would be a 120Hz+ monitor, but those start at £199.

I'd still recommend the BenQs which I suggested earlier or the AOC suggested by RazerZ. You can't get 120Hz by adding 40 bucks. The cheapest (and a good one too) 120Hz+ (144Hz) I know is 200 bucks:

Monitor: AOC G2460PQU 144Hz 24.0" Monitor (£199.49 @ Scan.co.uk)

Yea, that's the monitor I was talking about.
