My mom doesnt understand why I need a second monitor. I'm telling her it's for convince to have 2 things pulled up at a time or game on one and have discord, Spotify, or a webpage pulled up on the other but she's like "why would you spend $120" just for convince

    Find someone with an old 20ish yr old CRT monitor they are willing to get rid of, and get a cheap VGA to hdmi or display port converter. 95% of the convenience for ~100$ less.

    I'll say as someone who has a second display that is a 10-20 yr old CRT (1280 x 1024), the productivity of a second display is great, but you don't notice a lower resolution for most things like discord, spotify, or webpages. I get that you would want the HD monitor of course :)
