Re: Budget gaming monitor
Do you think colour reproduction or gaming speed is more important to you?
What graphics card do you have?
If you currently have a Dell monitor then they are usually really good at colour reproduction, so if you are having problems with dark game scenes I wonder if there is a setting you can tweak on the monitor or in the driver to up the brightness.

What resolution do you want??
Re: Budget gaming monitor
I use my xbox s for gaming so no need for driver calibration etc
1080p is fine i don't need ultra 4k or what ever
Re: Budget gaming monitor
What graphics card? It would make sense to know because a freesync monitor would give you a really good experience and the prices have come down a lot. But obliviously if you have an Nvidia card that won't be useful.
Re: Budget gaming monitor
Do you need high refresh? I'm unsure if your console can do like 144hz so - maybe

Re: Budget gaming monitor
Take a closer look between these two devices. I think you should go for LG 24MP68VQ-P. I had both LG monitor and AOC monitor (different models) and I had better experience with LG. Now it's your choice.

Re: Budget gaming monitor
Check out BenQ RL2455HM also. It features 1ms response time
Re: Budget gaming monitor
MSI MAG241C is great and priced well at Curry's at the moment. VA Panel, 144hz, 1ms response rate, Freesync. Ticks all the boxes.
Re: Budget gaming monitor
Does it have to be brand-spanky-new, or can you live with a second-hand model?
Reason I ask is that mine was about £700 new or something, but I got it for about £275 and they're probably available for even less, nowadays.
It's still a cracking screen, at 1440p in 27" running144Hz with G-Sync - You say you're not a massive gamer (I haven't played Fallout 4 myself), but having a really nice screen tends to mean you use it more often. When you first look at it, the difference may not be noticable to the average person... but it usually becomes quite a shocking difference once they go back to their old screen!
The advantage of buying second-hand is that you get to pick through any of the problems, like backlight bleed or whathaveyou. Buying new, you're still playing screen-lottery and having to either risk your money, or risk RMAing until you find an acceptable one. Again, you might not think the average user would care, but once seen it cannot be unseen!
