Monitors
A great gaming display gives you the proper PC experience. Not to mention, a competitive advantage. Sorted by resolution
1080p
1080p resolution is the easiest to drive. That means it's ideal for:
- Budget PCs
- Esports competitive gamers who want mega high refresh rates

27" piXL PX27IHD 75Hz | £120
27" piXL PX27IHD 75Hz | £120This is a great general purpose 27 inchmonitor for home offices and productibity set ups. It is not designed for gaming, however if you tend to play lighter games like the Sims, it will do in a pinch. This would make an excellent secondary monitor too
1440p
We love 1440p and think it is the best resolution to game at. That's because most modern systems can run it, giving you enhanced sharpness whilst not needing a high tier enthusiast level PC to run it
We like it best for:
- Mid-range and high end PCs (budget systems can do it but not at high framerate in most cases)
- Enhanced sharpness compared to 1080p
