Seems like 4K really hits the scene at larger sizes, like 27 inches. Is that too big for you?

[PSU: EVGA SuperNova 750 B2][Case: Corsair Carbide Series Air 540 Silver]

[Hard Drives: Samsung 850 EVO 500GB]

It isn't too big, I just figured smaller ones would be cheaper. I'm currently on a 32 inch TV lmao

I've been looking at getting one of these: https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824260554

 

Not saying to buy from NewEgg. Just the link I found most quickly.

I guess that still just seems crazy to me. I can get a bigger 4K TV for the same price. Of course it'd be a TV and wouldn't be as responsive but the price difference is still ridiculous.

I keep getting sale ads from NeweEgg and TigerDirect about monitors but I haven't seen a respectable 4K monitor go under $400 that wasn't god awful to look at, or was otherwise non-mountable.

Edit for spelling

If you want a 24-inch one with IPS, there is the Dell P2415Q. I have one at home, and it looks great (although I have a Mac hooked on it and it is based on Retina display scaling, not the crappy Windows one.)
