PC Monitor

[Valentine]

Any recommendations, good deals, on 24" PC monitors. I currently have Samsung which has been very reliable for a long number of years.

If you don't have any special requirements just buy the cheapest one with a VA or IPS panel.

Why do you want to buy a new one?

If you have enough budget I recommend to go for WQHD (2560x1440), mostly 27 inch and above.

Since a while I have an ACER 25", IPS Panel, FullHD (1080p) connected by DVI.

I am very satisfied with that and have no practical need for higher resolutions (2k, 4k).

DVI has become rare but I simply "like it better". HDMI seems to dominate.

 

What connectors does your graphic card have?

What resolutions does it offer?

Do you have sources better than FullHD (netflix 2k or so?).

What is your main use (just browsing/streaming video? gaming?)

What size (diagonal) can you place on the desk?

How much you want to spend? (anywhere from 5k to more than 50k Baht)?

I bought a 24" Acer for 4000 baht and it's great. In the UK I had some top of the range Iiyamas and it's almost as good.

One of the most important things is the connection between your PC and the monitor.

It should be a digital connection like DVI or HDMI. And this is more critical for higher resolutions.

If you have an old PC with only analogue video output you should get a digital video card. If you don't play games a card for about 1500B should do the job.

Just had a look and surprised how cheap they have become.

So for very basic requirements you can go down to 3000 or so.

Most expensive model at Lazada is a 4k, 31.1" EIZO for 523'710 Baht (half a million!).

Here is the best deal I could find:

Viewsonic monitors are excellent and at this price is a major bargain.

An arbitrary example that would suffice for me.

25", FullHD, IPS Panel, 5280 Baht:

That Acer looks good too.
