4k Monitors

[halo34]

I need a decent 32inch plus gaming monitor - however have a bit of a limited budget.

Is there such a thing as HDMI 2.1/120hz/4k larger panel monitor for less than £500?

Short answer: no.

Long answer: nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo.

At current prices you'll need to either drop the specs or up your budget.

You mean expensive stuff isn't cheap?

I bought 3 x 32" ones a couple of months ago, 120Hz, G-Sync compatible, for about £500 each, but they are 2K, not 4k.

LG, I will find the link.

Caveat: I don't know enough about monitors to know if this is utter rubbish.


Ebuyer currently have this discounted:

HDMI 2.1
144Hz
4K

Edit: Just realised I didn't filter on size, so it's too small for your requirements!

If you're on a limited budget, do you have enough GPU to get useful frame rates at that resolution?

Cheapest I can find is still 150 more than you want to pay - https://www.senetic.co.uk/product/LS32BG700EUXEN?t...

Cheapest ones I could find.

Gigabyte M32U-EK @ £477

Lenovo Legion Y32p-30 @ £560

LG 32GR93U @ £580

Might be some smart TVs instead of dedicated monitors. E.g this Philips at Costco for £350. 43", HDMI 2.1, 4K, 120Hz. Fits the spec requirements (if you don't mind 43", you did say 32 inch plus).

Hybrid watercooled 3080 so dont expect any problems.

Will hang fire a month and up the budget, would of been fine but my motherboard died just outside of warranty.

Thanks for the links everyone - will check em out.

I have a 1440p 60hz monitor but want to up the ante a bit.

These are the ones I bought:

https://www.lg.com/uk/monitors/gaming/32gp850-b/bu...

2K
165Hz (O/C 180Hz)

You can get them for around £350, which is less than I paid a few months ago.

Need good gpu to drive 4k if gaming

Cracking deal - I keep looking at it, but I suspect my viewing distance at my desk would make it difficult to work with.

Just to finish this off (I know rare right)

I have a MSI MAG323UPF coming - 4k 166Hz 32 inch.

Its massively reduced right now then took advantage of the 20% off Very finance offer and paid it straight off. Not bad for £400 which was allegedly £800 - hopefully be decent.

That seems a jolly good deal - decent reviews.
