HI.

I have been looking for a while now.
From what I have read I don't want (for my needs) a VA panel.

Nor do I want an OLED, as I leave the PC and the monitor on all day. Odd I know, but my life is kind of odd.
And OLED I have read have to be refreshed every 4 hours. to stop "burn in" as well as being SUPER expensive to buy.

I was looking at this.
www.amazon.co.uk/BenQ-MOBIUZ-EX3415R-34Inch-Built/dp/B08YJR7XPZ/

As its IPS which I read is good. I have no idea if its an expensive monitor to run.
(I know every tech has its draw backs.)
It also has speakers, and I desperately need to upgrade mine, But Toms doesn't have an "Audio forum," so I was going to go with this monitor, as the sound has good reviews. And see if it was OK, and if not look at either an Edifier R1280DBs bookshelf speakers, or something like that, and an and Edifier sub. Or a mini sound var like the POLK AUDIO MagniFi Mini AX.

Sorry back to the monitor.

Through this whole PC build, I have tried to go for an end result that wouldn't cost a fortune to run all day. No water cooling, Less energy intensive GPU etc.

I read that LED monitors. Not VA LED, but fully LED were very energy efficient, as well as having good response times, and high Hz.

But I just cant find any.

This one says its a LED monitor, but asked on Amazon its a VA panel.
www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B08WX14CMM

And this one says its LED, but has a 4ms response, and only 100Hzs. for the price they are asking.
www.amazon.co.uk/Samsung-LC34J791WTPXXU-Curved-Ultra-Monitor/dp/B0BSNLK7V5/

Sorry to go on.

Can anyone recommend an LED monitor or any really good monitor, that doesn't cost the earth to leave on, that has high Hz. And a 1ms response, and is a good gaming / crisp monitor please.

I don't mind paying around 600 to 700 pounds.

I would rather not go higher than that.

Thank you for any help.
I really appreciate it, and I'm pretty stuck.

We have a Home Audio & Theatre section for that. If you want something more comprehensive, you can visit our sister site;

What sort of tasks will you be taxing the panel with?

Hi Lutfij
Once again, I thank you for the reply, and the help.

It is very much appreciated.
The monitor would be used for pretty much everything. Gaming, from RPGs, to FPS, to 3rd person to Racing, on Steam.
Also a lot of movies and shows streaming Netflix etc.
Blender sculpting.
And Photoshop.
With some Unity use.

Ill keep looking.

Thank you for the audio links. 👍
