Hoping to get a 3060 TI, hopefully that will run really good. Some day next year

yeah thats a next year if that thing

the demand for them is so high with little to no supply

I’ll have the money by February it’s a matter of when I can get one for a reasonable price

those darn Ebay Scalpers too

ik this is off topic, but what is a good price for a decent monitor? I just need a second one for school

depends on the monitor

so what should I look for then? what things do i need to consider?

Just for school not gaming or anything? If for regular school you can find some good office monitors under $200 easily

Ehhh prices might be messed up because of pandemic idk though

For $200 you can get a good monitor as long as you aren't trying for an ultrawide or 4k.

It’s awesome how cheap some monitors are now

1080 should be fine for what im doing

i just game on my laptop screen cause its 4k, but I want a second monitor for when im doing research projects and need a bunch of tabs open

Oh yeah easily under 200

cool. thanks for the help guys

Monitors are the thing in tech Im not as good at

@sixfivebyfiftyfive this looks like a pretty decent one

For a 24 inch, 1080p is fine but if you go larger like a 27 inch you should invest in a 1440p monitor. In my opinion, 1080p at 27 inch has the pixels to large where text isn't very sharp.

As a 32 inch curved 1080 user, I can confirm this is true

Hoping to get something 27 inch 1440p 144hz

thanks bro, ill check it out

Np

ye David, i have noticed that. I might look at 4ks just to see what they have, but i think i cant afford one rn

If you have any light from a windows behind you or a bright lamp behind you, look for a matted screen if possible instead of your normal glossy one. For your budget you probably won't have choice in this but if possible a IPS or VA panel is really nice to have over a standard TN panel. TN panels have poor viewing angles and with cheap ones, colors can be off but that isn't a huge problem anymore.

The poor angles of TN is more a problem if you use dual monitors or if you view from the side like if you have a friend next to you who you are showing something. The color accuracy problems is also more noticeable with dual monitors because the monitors may not display colors the same.

hmm gotcha. I might just up my budget to 250ish than. Ill probly never buy a tv anyways xD

might aswell get something nice for my pc

lmao nvm, all the 4k models are like 500 bucks

~~even my 1440p monitor isn't very sharp at 27"~~

also I prefer the color my bro's IPS panel over my own VA panel. maybe that has nothing to do with the type of panel though. mine was even more expensive, though I suppose that's because it's curved and bigger. his is only 24"

There is a point of diminishing return where you use really high resolution monitor with smaller screens. I don't get the 4k monitors on laptops. I also thought VA was basically the same as IPS thou I only ever had IPS panels because I think VA is a Samsung tech.

well my monitor isn't Samsung. it's Viotek. maybe they used a samsung panel?

and yeah I have a 1440p phone screen and I don't see a difference tbh, since it's so small haha

Very possible, I haven't even heard of that brand and I know smaller brands often use bigger brands like LG and Samsung panels.

Maybe, Samsung let’s lots of companies use their parts under contracts so I wouldn’t be shocked

yeah thats' what I was thinking

Even companies like Apple

<https://viotek.com/shopgn27d-1440p-curved-computer-gaming-monitor/> this is my monitor btw

Even if your a large brand like Apple, over 80% of the new iPhones use a Samsung screen.

xD
