Analysis

What to look for under £200: IPS or Fast IPS, 144Hz+ with DisplayPort, adaptive sync, and VESA mount holes. Treat 'HDR400' as a brightness badge, not real HDR.

Reliability and upgrade notes: the most common budget-monitor fault is an internal power supply or backlight failure. A 3-year warranty is worth more than 10Hz. Keep the box for the first month, because dead-pixel policies vary by retailer.

Verdict

Use these specs as a benchmark when you compare 1440p monitors under £200.
