Monitor recommendations

joe123

Hey so Im in the market for a monitor. Two reasons.

Main one is when I'm working from home I need a second monitor for use with the laptop.

Secondary use will be that I can hook my Xbox One up to it for online gaming and help reduce input delay. Im aiming to have budget for about 200 euro region. Can be a little higher if worth it.

Would love to hear some recommendations. Currently looking at one of these two ->

Found this Dell Ultrathin Monitor S2419HM for €180


Has HDR10 spec for better colours.

Do you have regular Xbox One or the S/X model?

S model.

Definitely get the Dell S2419HM so; it supports AMD FreeSync @ 48-75 via HDMI, which the Xbox One S can take advantage of.

Hmm seems to be 236 euro on the Irish Dell Website https://www.dell.com/en-ie/shop/dell-24-ultrathin-monitor-s2419hm/apd/210-aorb/monitors-monitor-accessories

Click the chat button and haggle with the sales agent. They will most likely be able to give you a better price than the one listed on the site.
I did this for my last 3 Dell monitors, and I can always get a good price.

Maybe mention it's cheaper on the UK one.

Yessir, I sure was looking for a cheap 1440p 60Hz panel for my "office in the attic". Ended up buying two of them, and replacing two 1080p panels for my work Macbook and desktop.
