I mean if curved VA is on the table, lots to pick from.

Most other recommendation just drop out of your price range.

This flat panel might be worth a further look. Cheapest on here, but is an IPS flat screen.

Thanks for the suggestions. I've heard that the can suffer from screen-flicker at the higher hz range; but only from the one source on YT.

Thanks also for pointing me towards that site. Didn't know there was a UK version.

Partpicker is by no means definitive, there will be many monitors out there not on the list. Just a quick reference to see if anything was remotely within your price range.

Yeah. No. That's fine. Another site to refer to is always welcome.

I don't really need more than HD but was just worried about the PPI of an HD ultrawide as opposed to a 2K+ one.
