Looking for monitor for desk

AgentM101 · February 20, 2016

I will be getting a desk in the next few months and I would like a monitor to have on it to connect to my laptop. I would like some suggestions from not myself. I would like 1920x1080p with an HDMI input, not really bothered about the screen type (TN, IPS, VA, etc.), would like more than 22". The price must be under $200 CAD. Cheers!

This is what I personally use, it's not the best when it comes to refresh rate but the panel has good color accuracy, viewing angle and has what you want HDMI Input. Another downside it the manual control buttons for menu, power and such are a bit wonky but the almost bezzle-less borders are cool.

I really like how cheap this monitor is, but I can't find it in a store that isn't out-of-stock or doesn't ship it. What about the Asus VX248H-P?

It's sadly my monitor is an older model. The VX248H-P is I believe a newer iteration of the same design. If it's the same panel I'm pretty sure you'd like it. .

Addendum: I by the way forgot to state this, the onboard Speakers are really not great... The value for it as a screen and a good looking design was the biggest selling point for me.
