Up until recently I was using a 27" 2011 iMac. If you've seen my build thread you might know I'm in the process of building a PC to replace it. Whilst I'm just about sorted now the monitor is something I'm struggling with. The main usage will be split between photo editing and gaming. So I want to avoid 21:9 and curved screens but would welcome Freesync to pair with my Vega 56. Also some half decent colour accuracy would be nice. I appreciate 100% AdobeRGB monitors are very pricey and out of reach but at least 100% sRGB I think should be achievable. I was previously happy editing photos on my iMac and I believe the spec on that was (taken from a review site): 27" 2560x1440 IPS White - 399cd/m2 Black - 0.47cd/m2 Contrast - 856 Delta E - 1.17 AdobeRGB 74.9% Can you help me out and spec me something for sub-£400?
Quite a bit over 400, but I'm sure someone will come along with something in your price range. ASUS MG279Q https://www.guru3d.com/articles-pages/asus-mg279q-gaming-freesync-monitor-review,8.html
Yes, the Asus MG279Q is over budget (£475 at scan who have stock or £449 at overclockers with delivery whenever they feel like due to no stock), but it is a damn good monitor. If you don't want to stretch the budget there is a much cheaper alternative here for only £279, but it is only 75hz unlike the Asus which does 144hz. Other alternatives exist, but they are either also over budget, curved, TN, wrong resolution, 60hz, wrong size or *shudder* come from Acer.
