300-350 euro display for CAD enviroment.

[Mariusz_3]

Hi! I'm looking for new monitor for my small office. As above my price range is from 300 to 350 euro. It needs to be as gently for eyes for long days of work as possible and at least 24". Thanks for you replies!

I'd suggest an ultrawide 29" (equivalent of ~24" plus extra screen real estate at the sides) for your type of use. The wider display and IPS panel greatly helps in CAD work and other graphic-related designs. For your budget though, I can only find one that fits:

Monitor: LG 29UM58-P 29.0" 2560x1080 75Hz Monitor (€249.00 @ Amazon Deutschland)

I use an Asus PB298Q but I can't find the price or availability.

Hope this suggestion would help!

Try the $110 21" Benq gw2270 (or gw2270h for hdmi) or the 24" 1080p gw2470. They are AMVA+ screens, the latest type of VA. Fine for some gaming (only 4ms input lag) but not hardcore. People have connected games consoles without problems. One person said the low-blue-light mode works well. Great screen quality despite low price, even rivals older IPS screens in places, & doesn't suffer from IPS glow.

It's flicker free so no headaches. Users & experts are impressed with them given their price. One expert said they didn't detect any light bleed. The viewing angles are very good too, even better than the previous AMVA, and much better than TN.

The screens have a light anti-glare coating so white backgrounds don't appear too grainy or dirty as they can on many IPS screens. They have a matte surface rather than a glossy one.

For dark movie scenes AMVA+ screens are the best, certainly superior to TN or IPS.

(Set the AMA (Advanced Motion Accelerator) function to high, not premium. This helps cut motion trails.)

(To deal with a "dead" pixel rub the area gently & it will very probably correct itself immediately or within a few days. A crystal has been dislodged and needs correction. Playing a video/game over it may also correct it.)
