Another monitor suggestion request post

Salomon Smeke
Go to solution Solved by Salomon Smeke,

Ok. Opting for: U2414H. Sacrificing my 16:9 but it seems like a great panel and i found it for 200 usd. Wish it wasn't matte, but hey... at that price? Ill take it. Thank you very much to ARikozuM for the guidance. I will buy it in 20 minutes unless I get anyone yelling at me to not do it because theres some better alternative.

Greetings,

I am new to the forums (hello!) and I would love it if you all could help me find a monitor for my computer. I have been using an old glossy 24' dell monitor that bleeds, has no colour, and generally sucks.

I would like a new one. 23-24' 1920*1200 as bezel-less as possible. Relatively low latency. Glossy (preferred) or semi-matte.

I could deal with 1920*1080, but I really like 16:10.

Budget? Huh? Whats that? (I joke. I would like to spend in the sweet-spot here. Im fine with spending 400USD if that means my monitor is SO MUCH BETTER than a 200 dll one. Otherwise, 200USD would be my target).

I did some research, but monitors almost seem like one of those things were two different products with identical listed specs could be completely different. So I am hoping the LTT forums (which Linus keeps talking up, ha) could be of some help.

Thank you for your time,
Salomon

I personally like the Dell Ultrasharps. They're marketed towards professionals and they come pre-calibrated best of any monitors I've seen.

Im glad Dell Ultrasharps are a good choice, I have been leaning toward one. I appreciate the PCPP link, however I am hesitant. Do I really not need to concern myself with specifics? As long as a monitor matches my ask list it should be fine? How do I know which here is the best choice?

Read reviews from knowledgeable sources. The Dell Ultrasharps are my recommendation. If you need 144hz, look elsewhere. I gave you the link so that you could see what options you have and what the prices are.

I understand. No need for higher refresh rates, I am happy with 60hz. Thank you for your help. Ill leave this open for a few hour just in case there are any other options or arguments, and then ill go buy myself an ultrasharp.
