Dear colleagues, as the title suggests, I am in the market for a new monitor.
My trusty 17" Samsung has been serving me well since 2006, but it is likely time for its retirement. 🙂
Regarding my requirements, the primary use will be digital illustration, along with some occasional gaming and movies. Nothing too demanding... 😵
As mentioned, I would prefer to stay under $400. I have spotted a few models at that price point that all seem remarkably similar. Out of habit and past experience, I find myself leaning toward Samsung, though there is an IBM option available at AMD.
To summarize, I am looking for a budget-friendly, slightly larger, standard, and reasonably reliable monitor that will last me the next couple of years.
I plan to pay in cash, and since I live quite far from Washington, D.C., I will likely order it for delivery.
Alternatively, I could just pick it up this Saturday while I happen to be passing through Washington, D.C.
I would appreciate any recommendations you might have; if you need further details, please feel free to ask.
Thanks, everyone! 👍
