That was a "Pound" sign was it not....?
I can't speak to any country that uses the pound for currency.
But, speaking for the US, it's actually the wrong time of year to get a good price on a display. In my country the "Best Buy" chain of electronics stores drops the prices on monitors drastically during the (later?) summer months.
Last August I purchased 22" Westinghouse (1680 X 1050) for $179.95. I love it. The walk-in, "fool me once shame on you" price is about $279.95 ($249.95 @Newegg) at the present.
I don't know if the exchange rate is favorable enough to come out ahead by having someone buy a screen here and ship it to you, although the US dollar is sinking like a stone at the moment. (There are obviously potential return and warranty issues by doing so).
Anyway,take your time an investigate sales trends, bargain hunt, and bone up on as many reviews as you can.
Besides, if you ask 10 Tech-spotters "which is he best monitor for <160 pounds" you'll likely get at least 8 answers. (BTW, US keyboards don't even have a "Pound" sign).
Just to get the process started, I'm going to say you should look at the Westinghouses. I have 3 of them, all of which I'm very, very happy with. As always your results may vary, as well as other poster's opinions.
