As we’re all spending so much time at home, gaming has become a go-to way to entertain ourselves and relax.
As well as being super-popular with teens, it’s something the whole family can enjoy. But you don’t have to spend a fortune to get going. The best gaming monitors under £250 can offer a sharp image and smooth play.
Naeem Adam, AO.com’s gaming expert, said: “If you’re looking to purchase a gaming monitor but don’t want to break the bank, I’d recommend opting for a model with full HD, 1 millisecond response time for smoother visuals, quick refresh rates, and HDMI and DisplayPort sockets to connect to your consoles.
“The HD screen will bring your favourite games to life, while the response time will keep your gaming experience free of any glitches.”
Whether you’re a Fifa, Minecraft or Assassin’s Creed kind of player, we’ve rounded up the best gaming monitors under £250 below.
