I need some input on what monitor to pair with the RX 480 I'm going to be buying this Black Friday. What I'm looking for:
1. Freesync support
2. Max refresh rate exceeding 60Hz (not a necessity, but certainly nice to have)
3. Cheap (Canadian peso making everything pricey these days, plan to upgrade to 2K or 4K in a year or two when hopefully prices come down, more selection, and better quality control compared to today's offerings)
4. Preference for non-TN, though I gather some TNs are looking better today - I could potentially be convinced to go TN again.
After extensive searches I've narrowed it down to two monitors:
1. LG 24MP68VQ-P 1080p Freesync 40-75Hz IPS $199 CAD
2. LG 29UM68-P 21:9 2560 x 1080p Freesync 48-75Hz IPS $425 CAD
At this point I'm leaning towards the first one - the extra real estate of the 29UM68-P just doesn't seem worth it. Only issue is the 24MP68VQ-P seems pretty new, and there are very few reviews out there. Seems like an outstanding deal for the price, though. Also Freesync is via HDMI, but I don't think that matters.
Anything else I should be looking at?
BTW, coming from an r9 270 with 24" 1080p TN panel.
