What's a good new 24"+ monitor or even a TV (smart & 4K R OK)?
What's a good new 24"+ monitor or even a TV (smart and 4K are OK, but please no Roku since their RCs are awful without numbers for cable & OTA inputs) for mostly computers (Internet, meetings, Office, etc.), gaming, videos (locally and online), etc.? It will be placed on an office desk. It also needs to have old VGA (DVI adapter if needed) and HDMI. Composite and other old connections are OK. Budget isn't an issue. Anything good from Amazon, Costco, Best Buy, etc. online and in their So. CA stores? I'd like to buy it before this crazy year ends too.

Use the selector on Newegg and turn on the connector mix you want. The returned list should be short. VGA is no longer provided on video cards. This removes the incentive to have VGA on the monitor. Benq make a couple well equipped monitors, but these use a TN panel. 170/160 viewing angle. https://www.newegg.com/benq-gl2780-2...82E16824014656 This one ships from Asia, has a 178/178 screen (could be better than TN), has VGA and HDMI, no DVI. It's a bit on the expensive side for what you get. https://www.newegg.com/dark-blue-gra...9SIAHSBBJ32087 You're about two years too late for a "selection". ******* This comes pretty close. Don't know what part of China it ships from. Maybe it actually ships from Amazon ?

I tried a curved panel just for fun, Great for games but not so hot for text. Rene |

The one I have is LED. I tried a curved panel just for fun, Great for games but not so hot for text. OK, no curved screens for me again. Even in Arclight Cinema's Dome theater in Hollywood was annoying like cropped subtitles. The two main differences are colour fidelity and viewing angle. TN panes have a small viewing angle, you need to be nearly directly in front of them or you get drastic colour shift and fading, their viewing angle is typically 120 to 160 degrees. An IPS panel has a viewing angle of 178 in both axis, so you can view them nearly from the side without losing colour or contrast. IPS panels have a much wider colour gamut and their colours are more brilliant and true to life, Much better than TN. Do a google search for IPS versus TN panels and you will find numerous articles which go into it in far more detail than I can. Rene |
