What to look for under £700

  • 24 inches suits 1080p; at 27 inches, 1440p looks much sharper. Pick a resolution your graphics card can drive at high frame rates.
  • IPS panels have better colours and viewing angles; VA has deeper blacks; OLED beats both but costs more and can burn in with static images.
  • Use DisplayPort (or HDMI 2.1) to get the full refresh rate, and turn on FreeSync / G-Sync to stop screen tearing.
