My minces are not what they were and I find word processing, emailing and reading text quite difficult on my 28 inch monitor. I've tried changing the settings but, that doesn't seem to work. Also some of the games are a bit small, so I need a bigger monitor. I have a decent rig with dual monitor output so I am thinking of moving the 28 inch over to the 2nd output and buying a bigger monitor as my main.
I've measured up and I think a 34/36 inch will fit. I was lookin at TV's as a moniors and some are really cheap but have decent specs. I'm out of touch with decent PC monitors though, so hence the advice.
I've got a budget of about £500, so any advice please chaps?

Re: Gaming Monitor needed
If you can't just reduce the resolution Indy, the Samsung Odyssey G7 is a decent shout.
32" curved monitor, 240Hz refresh rate, 1ms response time. My son loves his.
Otherwise push the boat out a little and go for a 48" OLED TV.

Re: Gaming Monitor needed
Also it could matter which graphic card you are using.
If you have AMD GPU then you might want a FreeSync Monitor.
If you have Nvidia GPU you might want a G-Sync Monitor.
It's all about frame rate if your gaming, others on here will have better knowledge than me.

Re: Gaming Monitor needed
42” LG C2 might be the one for you, if you can accommodate the screen size, and can stretch to £700 (will need to wait for a price drop to pay that, but they do happen). 120Hz 4k OLED screen won’t hurt your eyes as much as a backlit low refresh rate screen and the near-instant pixel response time & absence of blooming will help keep things looking crisp.
