Hi guys,
I'm looking for an external monitor to connect my laptop to as the main display. I will be looking to use HDMI as the cable. It's mainly for productive use, but I'm also looking for something above 60 hz if possible for light gaming (FPS), and 1920 by 1080 is good enough for me (no need for 4K and all). Colour quality should be decent but don't require anything too extravagant as I don't do colour-sensitive work. I'm also not sure what the deal with IPS/LED is, so please advise me on that.
I have set a loose budget around 100$, but am able to push it. If possible, the monitor should be of good enough quality for me not to replace it too soon, as I also plan to use it with a desktop rig I build in the future.
I'm mainly posting here as I have no idea what to consider in a monitor since there's a lot of features that I don't know how to judge, so I'll answer your guys' questions if need be.
Thanks all!
LG 22MK400H-B 22in FHD 75Hz FreeSync TN LED Monitor
$105.40 shipped
$131.75 for 24"
$174.25 for 27"
If this will be the monitor for a desktop rig later, I'd really recommend spending the extra for 27" now
