@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

Wow, I just looked it up and my ultrawide is 5 or 6 years old now and is apparently still being sold by LG. Thou, it's $400-500 less then when I originally bought it.

ooh cool

What model do you have

LG 34UC88-b

My original screen had to be replaced a little before the one year warranty ended because it developed white lines and ghosting but the replacement has been working well for years now. However for a monitor this old it's still being sold for at least $500 new.

oh forgot to mention I got an email tonight saying my Wyze headphones shipped 🙂

My main issue jumping on a wide screen is how well it would fit what I need/want. I just want to be able to run 2-3 things full size without issue. Or not super tiny

I didn't know wyze made anything except cameras.

yeah they just came out with the headphones this fall

Do you mean wide screen or ultra wide? If you mean wide screen, I don't think they have made non wide screen in at least a decade.

*ultra my bad

Not crazy nerdy on monitors lol
