What to look for when buying a monitor
When it comes to monitor specs, you can break it down into three main categories: size, refresh rate, and resolution. Regarding size, a 27-inch monitor seems to be the best option for most folks, as it doesn’t take up a ton of desk space and it’s easier on the eyes. A 32-inch monitor, for example, may cause eye strain if it’s too close to your face.
Refresh rate is another important aspect to consider, especially if you consider yourself a regular gamer. The refresh rate is the number of times a monitor refreshes the screen per second. 60Hz is fine for casual gamers, but if you’re into competitive, fast-paced action titles, we’d recommend a monitor with a 144Hz refresh rate.
The resolution is the other major point. 1080p monitors are totally fine for most tasks like web browsing and checking e-mail, but 4K is the way to go if you want the ultimate streaming or gaming experience. The thing about 4K monitors is that they can be more expensive.
