I’d appreciate some feedback on the monitor in that link.
Also, if anyone feels like helping out, I’d love a solid recommendation, around $233 bucks.
The reading mode on that specific model caught my eye because it’s
pretty essential for me, considering I’ll be reading online about half the time, so it would be great if
whatever you recommend has something similar built in.
Thanks.
First off, let's establish the basics: you don't buy a monitor every day, so you need to be deliberate with your choice since this is something you'll be staring at for years.To put it bluntly, forget that Samsung model; it's just a standard monitor with an outdated TN LCD panel. On top of that, it only features an ancient, clunky analog VGA port. In this day and age, any decent monitor needs to have a DVI or HDMI connection alongside that old VGA port.
As for a recommendation, that part is straightforward, so here is the
ASUS Eye Care Monitor—it's your best bet. You won't find anything better for that kind of money, though you could certainly find much worse if you aren't well-versed in technical specs. From what I can see, it's currently the cheapest option at CNN, so you might as well grab it there, though the price shouldn't vary much elsewhere. If the ASUS doesn't come with a DVI cable in the box, just pick one up separately; it isn't expensive. Buying a modern LCD monitor and pairing it with an old analog VGA connection is like buying a brand new Ford and putting cheap, subpar Goodyear tires on it.
