I had a thought that maybe I should get a 1440p monitor, but then I looked at prices. Around 450 pounds minimum. Knocked it on the head.

But I look deeper and you can buy them from South Korea (Korean brands) for around 250 or even lower. Has anyone bought one of these? Had any problems?

The X-Star ones use Samsung PLS IPS panels, so yes they are very good for the price, they also offer a DOA warranty. Get one if you can afford 250GBP for a monitor, I would.

Well I didn't have a specific one in mind, there are several no-name brands on eBay at very good prices.

How about this one? [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]

PLS is not IPS, but it's as good if not better. The X-Star and Qnix models have matte finishes I believe.

Apparently PLS is slightly worse quality than S-IPS but it's cheaper so good deal. Bookmarked.
