when moving my screen due to tangled wires it dropped off desk n screen was cracked, accidents happen so now i need a new one. im using a back up monitor which is very old n not good at all for gaming and even watching videos. so i need a new monitor that is bigger than my broken 23" aoc monitor. i loved the monitor even though i was looking around for newer ones prior to it breaking. max height for monitor is 20" due to shelves. price range is around $300, if i have to i can go a little bit over that amount

here are some monitors that i have looked at:

ive seen some reviews saying 1920x1080 for a 27" is ok but you are better off getting 1920 x 1200 for 27". the prices however are out of my budget for 27" 1920x1200
