Hi
I have been running a dual monitor setup for a very long time, but I always used my old screen as the secondary. its gotten really old and its only 1600x900 pixel and about 20". Its also really dim, so if I want to watch a movie on it at day time, i have to close the blinds if the movie has a lot of dark scenes. It doesnt have to be high refresh rate, since I dont game on the secondary screen. My primary display has 24" 1080p 144Hz and I am happy with it.
Any recommendations?

I personally like BenQ or their "Gaming" Zowie brand. 

 

1080p there are several good options in price/performance level... 

 

my tuppence here on that topic =)

Main System:

Anghammarad : Asrock Taichi x570, AMD Ryzen 7 5800X @4900 MHz. 32 GB DDR4 3600, some NVME SSDs, Gainward Phoenix RTX 3070TI

 

System 2 "Igluna" AsRock Fatal1ty Z77 Pro, Core I5 3570k @4300, 16 GB Ram DDR3 2133, some SSD, and a 2 TB HDD each, Gainward Phantom 760GTX.

System 3 "Inskah" AsRock Fatal1ty Z77 Pro, Core I5 3570k @4300, 16 GB Ram DDR3 2133, some SSD, and a 2 TB HDD each, Gainward Phantom 760GTX.

 

On the Road: Acer Aspire 5 Model A515-51G-54FD, Intel Core i5 7200U, 8 GB DDR4 Ram, 120 GB SSD, 1 TB SSD, Intel CPU GFX and Nvidia MX 150, Full HD IPS display

(Abit Fatal1ty FP9 IN SLI, C2Duo E8400, 6 GB Ram DDR2 800, far too less diskspace, Gainward Phantom 560 GTX broken need fixing)

 

Nostalgia: Amiga 1200, Tower Build, CPU/FPU/MMU 68EC020, 68030, 68882 @50 Mhz, 10 MByte ram (2 MB Chip, 8 MB Fast), Fast SCSI II, 2 CDRoms, 2 1 GB SCSI II IBM Harddrives, 512 MB Quantum Lightning HDD, self soldered Sync changer to attach VGA displays, WLAN

Those are unfortunately TN panel most. imo TN panels not worth it in modern times.

I edit my posts more often than not

Apart from the Zowie XL2546 i don't see any Zowie monitor that is worth it with today's market. And the XL2546 is only meant for highly competetive players who don't care about image quality whatsoever.

If someone did not use reason to reach their conclusion in the first place, you cannot use reason to convince them otherwise.
