Need A Hand Finding A New Monitor

[Packhunter]

From what I can determine, my monitor while not dead isn't playing nice with my video card. It dies when playing high end games.

I am on the market for a new one.

Total space available is 23 3/4ths of an inch, by 18 3/4ths of an inch.

The only brand I won't touch is Samsung, recent events have lead me to swear them off.

That may be harder than you think.  There are a lot more monitor makers than there are panel makers.  Samsung is one of only a few companies that actually make panels.  The result is you could get a monitor by another maker that still has a Samsung panel in it.

Samsung has a commanding presence in panel manufacturing.

 

You're stuck with a 27" max size, 16:9 though.  I cannot fathom how much that must suck to have as a "max".

Pretty much any IPS or TN monitor will guarantee not having a Samsung panel. These are mostly by LG, Innolux and AUO with a few other smaller manufacturers like Panda.

 

Samsung is mostly just VA. Their PLS (IPS) technology is quite rare nowadays.

 

There are plenty of options. Unless we have a specific budget to work with we can't really recommend something.
