Monitor just died

pdw8 · 14 Nov 2015 at 17:33

Just found out the Hazro has died, well has power LED comes on on but no display or OSD so looks like its died.

I need to get a replacement but only have £150-180 budget. I would love another 2560x1440 but these are out of budget.

Looking at 27" 1920x1080 I guess, anyone have any recommendations in my budget?

EDIT: would I be better getting a better 24" display?

25'' is the bare minimum for 1440p imho, but 27'' is perfect. Dell U2515W shouldn't be too much off your budget. Or the big brother U2715H but that's not happening at that cost of course. If you go 27'' 1080p you're making a video config that is already 4 years old.

wifey has boosted budget to £250, any suggestions for a 27" pref 1440p?

TIA

I always get worried when people say their Hazros have died, mine is now 3 years old and still chugging along.

asus ve278q, ve278h? my old monitor that my sister uses. Great monitor for the price aswell but is 1080p, if your looking at a 1440p. You can get a Ben-q GQ2765HT LED IPS 27" on amazon for £279, adjustable stand etc. Looks good quality, good reviews. None on OCUK so thats why amazon.

Is it time for a curved monitor like the £250 Samsung S27D590C 27" 1920x1080?

i replaced my hazro hz27 wc with the u2515h and dont notice the size difference as this is bordeless. where the hazro was ugly looking with thick black bezel . this is nice looking. the picture quality suffers slightley as this is a matt screen and the hazro was glossy screen. and the colors are more vivid on a glossy screen.
