Which monitor is best for 2nd monitor

[Tobal245]

Im starting a new build and I was wondering what monitor would be the best for a 2nd monitor thats not that good as my first but is good enough.

My main monitor would be a Asus ROG SWIFT PG27UQ (If you think there are better alternatives with similar specs not counting size feel free to recomend).

I dont feel that I have the experience to decide myself so could someone here help me.

 

Thanks

Depends on what you are trying to do with your second display. If you plan on running a game with both screen, it will be obvious to choose a monitor with the same size, resolution and refresh rate as your primary display. but if you are using it for other things like chat for streaming, you can save a few dollar by going with something way cheaper, look for sales, and make sure to choose the monitor with proper brand for warranty, BTW, make sure your PC has enough power to push the monitor you are trying to use as your primary display, if it can't do 4K 60HZ on most games, it would be a waste of money to go for something so expensive.

just any monitor  will do as long as u get like same height cause it will look werid a second monitor bigger then the main or the other what done. Just any 60hz 1600x900 or 1920x1080p at 60hz
