Affordable IPS monitors?

WHS Sound Guy · July 20, 2020

I currently have 1 single monitor. I edit video a lot and would really like to get a second screen (and some day maybe a 3rd). I currently have an AOC 22" monitor and it has been working well for me but feels a little small and now has a dead pixel. I've been looking for a decent, larger, and affordable, monitor to add as a second screen. The plan is to eventually get a second of that monitor to add as a 3rd or replace my current monitor down the road. I've spent a few months looking for monitors now and have found a few that seem to be decent and have some better features.

These are what I have found that seem to be decent for their prices. Does anyone have recommendations from this list or are there other monitors I should consider as well? Or is the monitor I have close enough to what is listed and I should just get another one like it?

Thank you in advance!

If you're interested in ultrawides at all, check out the LG 29WL500-B. I've had one for a year and it's great. In the before times, it would go on sale at Bestbuy for well under $200 all the time. There's also the 29wk600, which as far as I can tell is the same monitor just with an extra DisplayPort and a white back, and is available at more retailers.

I hadn't really looked at ultrawides much. I figured they were all far more expensive. Apparently I am wrong. That ultrawide is a rather tempting monitor.
