A crappy Asus VN279 - Terrible color accuracy and viewing angle combined with a poorly constructed frame that enabled a mayfly to crawl right between panel and front, resulting in something that looks like a cluster of dead pixels and is driving me crazy ever since... Then again it was cheap when I bought it some years ago ;-) Trying to decide for a new monitor for almost a year now, but still can't decide if I want to go for higher refresh rate or 4k...
I think it's that 49" or nothing... maybe if/when LG actually comes out with that high refresh rate 38" they announced back in January... but they are retards and are dragging their feet and the morons posting on the LG site refuse to give any information, like not even an OUNCE of information/eta/ nothing.
Me here on my IPS 27" 60hz 2015 monitor and keeping it until it dies... The best TV in my house is a Samsung LED bought 13 years ago in 2008... Don't fix it if it ain't broke, and especially if they are still the best in your home (at least 6 more tv's and 3 more monitors that are much newer, but, not better). I admit, I don't game like I used to when I bought this monitor. If I still played fast paced FPS games for hours a day, I'd probably want the 'best'. But, this monitor is amazing and lets me game (I really just play CS:GO and Among US now a days, maybe some Diablo). So, judge your needs and save your money. Buy cheap if you don't need speed. Or, buy speed and super quality image if you need that (and hope what you bought lasts for years and years). I like to stay a few years behind the newest hardware. The 2 year old stuff works great and why spend the extra on the newest. Only way I would do that is if I was 18 again in 2002 and doing gaming tournaments. Figure your needs and go from there! I have 2 vehicles too... A daily car (2008 Civic) and a winter and road trip vehicle (2012 FJ Cruiser). Let your items serve their purpose. No reason to replace until they don't server their need.
@@vaibhavgupta20 Wow I forgot i commented on this. Bought a Dell SE2419H 23.8" Full HD Monitor. Since then I think it has been replaced by the Dell SE2419HR 23.8" Full HD IPS Monitor. love it, no complaints.
I'm just looking for a good monitor for school stuff and now I feel like I just took a whole years worth of course on monitors. I now have a specific spec on what I want my monitor to be other than the size🤣
@@neilrischl9569 Same but took me a few before I got one without a load of ips glow but only one of them had bleed but had to much glow on the first few in the bottom right corner
I was looking for a bit basic understanding like flat. Vs curve, understanding coding on names , ratios, size selection etc etc... but found it to more inclined towards gaming friends
Thank you so much, this is the first time that i just needed to go to one place to learn everything i need begore buying a piece of tech, without being pushed toward some sponsored brand or get a selection of types to choose from and then having the idra that it might not be the best one. I feel like a monitor expert now, Nd that only took you 18 minutes without driving me crazy, deep respect
@@lordofdarkness8143 I got the lg 27gl650, and I am very satisfied with it, I have to mention I don't play any competitive games so I really don't feel those extra milliseconds in the response time or input lagf, I can play wow just fine ( even better than before) and that's it
The amount of effort put in your videos literally gives me goosebumps. First time watching you and I was completely amazed, I’ve never seen anyone work this hard on TH-cam. Well done 🤙🏽
i bought my first monitor,17" Illyama CRT over 20 years ago and this hass been the most informative article I have read on the subject AND easy to take in, well done
This guy is ridiculously succinct. Thank you will be coming back. I didn't even need to know anything, I just did hours of research, but you keep it simple in a way that I appreciate.
Wow this was so helpful! I was getting lost in all the options during my monitor search and this explained everything so well. I was hoping to find a Thunderbolt 3 IPS that I can connect my Mac to for video / design work, but also for gaming in the evenings. Looks like most of them are capped at 60hz though, so I might be asking too much of one monitor!
the ending where you round up everything and talk about whats the best for what you want is really amazing your a great person for that man really great
I was confused with monitors as I’m willing to buy one soon, you just made me make my mind about what i want now! Thanks for your efforts man, keep it up 👍🏼
I don't now anything about computers but, my husband likes it. His birthday is coming up and I'd like to give him a new monitor, because his are a bit old. I saw many videos but yours was the most helpful. Thank you so much.
Two questions: 1- As a graphic designer, can I work on a curved monitor? 2 - What would be the most suitable monitor to play video games and graphic design?
Hands-down the best explanation and video out there! Fantastic job man 👍🏼😎 A lot of youtubers are super techy but very few have the gift of teaching and articulation! Keep up the great work
This video is 3yrs old and still in 2022 , its a great source of information and so well explained.Definitely it will help me in choosing my next monitor.Thanks again 👍🏼.
Just brought an hp 31.50 free sinc 1080. I have the series s and not a pc and so much better for my eyes so far. Impulses with 4 k 55inch nano cell blew my eyes with call of duty. Thanks for helping me understand this generation of moniters
One thing that is worth mentioning is that if you are going to buy a monitor for gaming, you have to take into account what's your graphics card and how much it can handle. I thought I could buy any monitor I want but then I realized that everything should be based on the graphics card. In my case is RTX 2060. Am I wrong?
Mr. Honeyands, I am soooo thankful for this video. Clearing out each and every point for Monitor guides is NOT an easy task at all. Highly appreciate your work, Tom!
TLDR Shop attendant: “What type of monitor are you after today?” Gamer: “At least 144Hz, adaptive sync please” Profesh: “Something like a 4K / 5K / Ultrawide with HDR if possible” Normie: “Yes a monitor, thanks”
So have access to TN, IPS and VA panels and my experience has found I prefer VA for a gaming panel due to the higher contrast and color pop. Concerning pixel density I hate that people push it as an absolute. Distance from monitor in viewing can have a huge effect on how the image looks. Also an issue comes into play is the eyesight of the user. As an older gamer I find that a 24" 1080P is just a bit to small for me to see easily. moving to 27" 1080P my games look amazing and I can see everything on the screen clearly. I also move up 1440 with a 32" monitor which for me is my perfect gaming monitor. I have a 32" 1440P 144hz VA panel gaming monitor and I see no ghosting, have amazing color contrast and can easily see everything on the screen. My point is not all of these points covered as absolutes and picking the perfect monitor is often a very personal choice.
@@jedi22300 I am playing games like Far Cry and Division 2 at around 100 FPS and have never seen any blurring or ghosting. Looks as smooth as any other panel I have used.
@@RobertLamoa I got exactly what I wanted with my AOC AG322QC4. 32", 1440P, 144hz, Freesync 2 support. Looks incredible, smooth game play and big enough I can see everything clearly :-)
Allright if you play racing games good tke 32" if you play fps games 24" is the way to many people return their 27" and go back to 24,i got acer kg251qf 24.5" thats enought for me
WOW, that was amazing man, thanks so much! So bottom line, does anyone on here want to take pity on a confused shopper and share a recommendation for a specific monitor for photo-editing from a 2019 MacBook Pro? Thanks to this video I think I know what specs I want, but reviews vary among the available monitors SO MUCH, I just don’t know what to think. Thanks in advance!
Hey Tom, Nice video and it helped me a lot so thank you for that. My only criticism would be that it'd have been great if you had a seperate video aimed at gaming and a seperate one for productivity. There was a lot of information in this video that I could have done without because I am sitting on the productivity side of the coin and it would have been great to have a video aimed specifically for this use case. Other than that though, thanks for the help!
watched this even after i have my monitors. just got my second one. just been binge-ing your vids. happy to know the 2nd screen i just got is the same lg you are using. just the uncurved 27' so i guess i did something right lol
This video helped me picked the right monitor. Been using 1080p for a while in 21 inches and wanted to upgrade to 27". I wanted to go for 27" in 1080p but thanks to this video I would have hated it. Going for 27" in 1440p instead for sharper images. I like my codes sharp and colorful. Thanks
Great video reviewing detailing a lot. I guess one question I am left asking is if it makes a difference if a monitor is USB c compatible versus thunderbolt and do I risk any charging issues if I choose a 60 watt monitor rather than a 90 watts considering my laptop may require 90 watts worth of power delivery ( i.e. a 16" Macbook Pro)?
Thank you Tech Chap! I've been with you and watched your videos from the very start. I am so happy to see that you are doing so well. And this video was very good! Keep up the good work man!!
Could you maybe do a video on all the graphics options on PC games? Like, what they mean, what they do, what they look like, and what different names they can go by across different games? Pleeeaaassseee :) I personally know the basics of the basics, but there are some that are just numbers or a wierd sentence in some games and I'm like: WTF is that?!... then I fiddle with it and don't see a difference and would like to know what they're doing :D Thanks.
Satyasya Satyasya hey is there a particular game you have in mind. I’ve got a few game tweak guide bookmarked from my PC gaming days. They’re older titles but they should explain everything perfectly
Looking up the game's name + settings online usually gives a nice overview of every adjustable setting in the menu and its effect on the overall scene.
Found it on Steam Wallpaper Engine as "RetroLake V.10" by Colletior. Haven't tried it out myself since I'm on mobile so I'll appreciate a confirmation too. Cheers!
Best Monitor Guide! But its been 3 years since this video was released. I'll Certainly be waiting for a new one. In addition; Ambient lighting, eyecare and console gaming will be a plus ;)
I think there's just one aspect that you forgot to explain, the local dimming (and the difference between edge lit and fald), but it's a very good and well explained guide.

LG UK850 27 inch 4K IPS...lovely screen and won the panel lottery with virtually no IPS glow.

Seriously dude, I feel like I just went through a 1 week course on monitor technology, respect. Really great.
True! same feels bro haha
Monitor is born to break..
I just touch my keyboard to my monitor.. and fkkkkkkkkk... It's broken

Don't buy monitor.... buy TV it has some good front panel protection... Monitors are very fragile from front...

You must need to add subtitles for this amaaazing video...
Thats a great effort, proud to subscribe, like and share. Thumps up.
I have always watch his video for the aesthetic. Today, I truly watch it for the knowledge. Thanks Tom
Could you maybe do a video on all the graphics options on PC games? Like, what they mean, what they do, what they look like, and what different names they can go by across different games? Pleeeaaassseee :)
I personally know the basics of the basics, but there are some that are just numbers or a wierd sentence in some games and I'm like: WTF is that?!... then I fiddle with it and don't see a difference and would like to know what they're doing :D Thanks.
Satyasya Satyasya hey is there a particular game you have in mind. I’ve got a few game tweak guide bookmarked from my PC gaming days. They’re older titles but they should explain everything perfectly
Looking up the game's name + settings online usually gives a nice overview of every adjustable setting in the menu and its effect on the overall scene.
That was really helpful, everything is clear to me now ^^
First timer here, THANKS A LOT! That video has all the information I need to make a decision!
3:03 what kind of animated wallpaper is that? please let me know ! thanks and great videos as always! gladly subscribed for a while now ;)
Found it on Steam Wallpaper Engine as "RetroLake V.10" by Colletior. Haven't tried it out myself since I'm on mobile so I'll appreciate a confirmation too. Cheers!
@@monyas32 exactly what I searched for. Thank you !

This man has style. The storm trooper background:DAM. The desk, chair, watch. Give this man a suit.
Best Monitor Guide! But its been 3 years since this video was released. I'll Certainly be waiting for a new one. In addition; Ambient lighting, eyecare and console gaming will be a plus ;)
I think there's just one aspect that you forgot to explain, the local dimming (and the difference between edge lit and fald), but it's a very good and well explained guide.
