[SOLVED] Adding second monitor to setup

[colonelmustard92]

I'm going to add a second monitor to my setup for work purposes and I looked up the monitor I bought 5 years ago, a Samsung U28D590. To my surprise it still sells on Amazon for $336.18 - I figured it would be cheaper by now since the model is at least 5 years old.

My question is, should I buy this for the consistency of having two of the same monitors? Or should I buy a newer model of monitor at this point?

Monitors have come a long way in 5years so no I wouldn't recommend buy one at that price.

For work purposes, I wouldn't worry about the consistency of the monitors.
