Need advice on picking a new monitor

[1987paulh]

Hello, As the title suggests I'm trying to get a new monitor but I know very little about them, the last monitor i bought was a samsung 1080p monitor for around £120ish, the problem with it was you could only see a clear image if you were viewing the monitor from eye level, directly infront of it, as any kind of angle you couldn't really see what was on screen, and I want to avoid getting that type of monitor again. what I'm trying to find out is what screen type is it that does that, LCD, LED or one of the others?

Also If anyone has recommendations for a great monitor that would be awesome too, I wouldn't need a 4k display, probably 1080 or something inbetween would be fine, no preference with curved/flat or ultrawide, around 32inch screen and a budget of upto £300, maybe 400 if its a notoriously good monitor.

Thanks.

https://www.iiyama-monitors.co.uk/products/XB3270QS-B1.aspx sounds perfect for you. It's an 1440p IPS panel so viewing angles are much better. So is colour accuracy and contrast ratio. (I used to use an IIyama TN panel and it was a very good quality screen. I've read reviews of their IPS and VA screens and they have superb colour accuracy.) I couldn't believe it's only £264. I thought it was going to be more like £600.
