Hi, iv cancelled my oculus rift and so have a healthy £500 for a new monitor :) I currently have a 120hz BenQ xl2420t and what im looking for if they exist is the following:

23, 24 or 25inch monitor
ips or something similar
freesync
100hz minimum
1440p

If anybody knows of a monitor like that, that would be great. Im willing to go without freesync if that helps, it would just be nice to have but not really important.

Thanks
 
Well this thread died :)

I ended up buying a Samsung U24E850R. Its a 23.6 inch, pls, freesync monitor. The only things i had to make compromises on was resolution and hz. This is a 2160p monitor instead of 1440p and only does 60hz instead of the 100hz i was looking for.

4k is perfect for this screen size. Text is sharp and when gaming there is no need for anti aliasing. Freesync also works great as long as you cap your frames to something in the freesync range, which for this monitor is 40-60 fps so iv capped all my games to 58fps. Colours and viewing angles are also great once you calibrate the monitor. The only downsides are dpi scaling and hz. Windows does a shoddy job of scaling and a lot of apps are just piss poor at it. So you have to disable scaling for them and end up with tiny text or leave it scaled and look at a blurry mess. 60hz also sucks and sucks bad. Going from a 120hz monitor to 60hz you notice it on everything you do , moving a folder on the desktop is now a blurry mess, scrolling a webpage is now a blurry mess and turning in games is now you guessed it a blurry mess.

Overall this monitor is great buy for around £300. Its also one of the few under 27" monitors you can get that includes todays features and if you can handle the dpi issues and low hz then its worth looking into..
