Sub-£150 monitor recommendations

scaminatrix · Nov 18, 2012, 01:42 PM

Hi all, got a new job and can finally afford a new monitor. £150 is my budget, may be able to stretch for something that's highly recommended.

Needs:

1080p or higher
£150-ish
From the usual reputable sites: Scan, ebuyer, dabs, Aria, Amazon etc.

If I can get a 120Hz (not for 3D) or 2560x1440 I will, but it's not looking likely

Anything more than 1 years warranty is great too.

I'm looking for a monitor that is hopefully tried and tested etc.

Thanks peeps

Loving my LG IPS225, great colour, decent pixel density due to being small. Best is the price tag at £100 odd.

Yeah, go for the LG IPS screen, you should be able to bag one at just over £100. Beautiful colours without breaking bank.
