A live price tracker, not a review — we check UK retailer prices for monitors and rank them cheapest first. Right now the lowest is the Dell S3222DGM 32-inch Curved Gaming from £105 (used). Across the 8 monitors we hold a live price on, prices run from £105 to £1,103 across 3 UK retailers, in new, refurbished and used condition.
Match the panel to the task. 1440p on a 27-inch screen is the sweet spot for general use and gaming; 4K suits detail work and more desktop space; ultrawides suit side-by-side productivity. For gaming, a high refresh rate (144Hz and up) matters more than pixel count. On connectivity, check the inputs: HDMI 2.1 carries 4K at 120Hz for current consoles, while a single USB-C input can power and display from a laptop over one cable.
Panel type (IPS/VA/OLED), resolution and refresh rate set both the use-case and the price. High-refresh panels suit gaming; colour-accurate IPS/OLED suit creative work; 4K suits detail and desktop space.
Monitors last for years, so used and refurbished units are often strong value. When buying used it is worth confirming the panel condition (e.g. dead pixels) and that the stand is included.

27-inch at 1440p is the comfortable default for most desks; step up to 4K for fine detail and more workspace, or an ultrawide for side-by-side windows. Bigger isn’t always better — viewing distance and desk depth matter.
