Title: I need a monitor...
Post by: Monorail Cat on July 24, 2014, 04:45:01 PM
So, I was planning on buying a monitor from a friend, but he decided that I should buy a brand new one instead.  So, I'm looking for a good monitor that is around $120 and not more than $150.  Anyone?

Suggestions so far:

Go here and sort by price then look at other specs, especially rating: http://pcpartpicker.com/parts/monitor/ (http://pcpartpicker.com/parts/monitor/)
Site lists all sites that keep the monitor in stock, and which sites have sales. Here are a few notable ones:

http://pcpartpicker.com/part/philips-monitor-227e4lsb (http://pcpartpicker.com/part/philips-monitor-227e4lsb)

This one looked pretty good: http://pcpartpicker.com/part/planar-monitor-997689700 (http://pcpartpicker.com/part/planar-monitor-997689700)

All of these are notable, but I did not list every good one I saw.

Lol cheap. Cheapest 4k monitor is $500 and is at 30Hz, plus the power needed to drive 4k isn't really available to most gamers yet.

Just get a generic 1080p 60hz IPS monitor, you'll be golden.

wat. Yeah we can use 4k for simple browsing, but to play games at 4k at decent FPS requires serious GPU spending.
