I am new to computers and am probably gonna buy a new PC with a 1050 TI (My dad doesn't want something to expensive, but is willing to upgrade in a year or so).
What size and refresh rate should I go for.... I am on a budget so nothing to expensive
Thank you in advance!
That depends on what you want to do with it.
Since I’m no gamer, I use my GTX 1050 Ti with a 27”, 4K (3840x2160p), 60Hz, 14ms, 10-bit color depth, ViewSonic VP2768-4K monitor.
Media content looks gorgeous on 4K monitors (there are cheap alternatives to the ViewSonic that I’ve mentioned).
If you’re a gamer, you might want to buy a monitor with a lower resolution (1080p, 1440p) and higher refresh rate (120/144/165 Hz) and lower response time (1-3 ms).
Screen technology is important too!
The 3 main technologies are:
- TN (bad contrast, bad colors, bad viewing angles, but cheap).
- VA (good contrast / weak colors).
- IPS (best colors & viewing angles, but a bit more expensive).
The size of the screen (19”, 24”, 27”, 32” etc.) should be determined by your viewing distance and your budget 😉
