Gaming monitor
Posted: November 26th, 2021, 12:49 pm
My son is looking to get a high-end gaming monitor. He's looking specifically 4K resolution (3840 x 2160) and a 144Hz refresh rate. We recognise that this will cost £500 - £600.
The problem we're finding is that web sites seem to either lie about the spec, or else they're not talking the same language.
For example this one https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B07THFBS43?th=1 has in its specification "Refresh rate 165" (without specifying the units), but if you go to the manufacturer's site it says "Refresh Rate 60Hz"
There have been others where the manufacturer's spec doesn't match what's quoted in shop web sites.
The one we've found that seems to match is this one https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0999Q612J?th=1 but it's not in stock anywhere we can find (though Amazon would take the order for Dec/Jan delivery).
Has anyone else got any experience in this sort of thing?
