FAQs
Is 4K worth it for gaming on a budget?
If you play single-player or cinematic games, 4K is a noticeable upgrade. For competitive esports, 1440p high refresh often feels better than 4K 60Hz.
What specs matter most in a 4K gaming monitor?
Response time (1ms preferred), HDMI 2.1 if you use PS5 or Xbox Series X, and panel type — IPS for colour, VA for contrast.
Can I get 4K 120Hz under £400 in the UK?
Rarely at that price. Deals on 4K 120Hz/144Hz appear around Black Friday; otherwise expect £450–£600 for true 4K high refresh.
