So I got a nice 25" HP IPS monitor the other day..... ( pic related ) cuz it was on sale for like $150
Initially I thought 'wow great picture it's amazing' but it's turning out to be annoying, having to have one side of my monitor for vi, the other for browsing / reference.
Seriously I don't understand how most of you in /bst/ don't have broken necks from moving around your heads this much.
I've been using it for a week now, and so far I keep using my 11 year old t43 whenver I want to just view text. The only thing I use this new monitor for is watching K-ON! in HD...............................

40" is the optimal size for a monitor. 50"+ is 'huge'.
It's very likley too close to your face. Try getting a bigger desk.

One 25" monitor is too big? how the hell is that possible? 25" isn't even big.
Two 27" monitors and a 50" 4k TV.
Never going back.
>25"
>huge
If you'd bought a 30" you'd have an argument, but 25 is barely larger than the 24" screens everyone and his sister have
>>53072478
I consider my 23" monitor small OP
>25" huge
I'm an unfortunate 5'8" manlet and 32" is too small for me. What the hell "25 is huge ass monitor"?
I use 27" dual monitors I sit 2~2.5 feet away from them. Never had to move my neck around.

I bet you really regret writing that shit title, don't you OP?

Nice shitpost. What are you, 6 feet from your desk? 40" is fucking garbage tier for any normal desk.

Get your fucking face out of the screen then? I have 3x1 monitor array of 24" Dell US IPS panels and sit about 2 feet from the screens and can see them all just fine even though I never need to because I use each one for different things.

I run a 30" and I personally think it's either optimal or slightly too big. I'd go 28" I think.
How does this monitor look?
It's this.

I love my 27 inch 2560x1440 monitor.
Maybe you have your monitor too close? You shouldn't need to move your head to look at the various parts of the monitor, try moving your eyes instead.
>>53073780
dont get a 27" 1080p panel, you can get a 27" 1440p korean panel for the same price.
>>53072478
Running a 28" here, perfect size for me. How can you think 25" is too big?
>>53073794
Perfect size for 1440p monitor.
>>53073495
Fuck the 4k. Worthless unless you do production of some kind like music, CAD, etc. Any monitor over 25" should be a greater resolution than 1080p. Get what your laptop can handle now and stick with it. You can always get a better monitor down the road when you get your pc. You don't know when you are going to get said pc or what components are going to be in it. So stick with the basics for now.
Try this monitor too if they have one on display. Great color doesn't adjust height but it does tilt.http://www.bestbuy.com/site/hp-25-ips-led-hd-monitor-snow-white-natural-silver/5827035.p?id=1219657142234&skuId=5827035
>>53074228
Thank you, that does make sense. I think I will actually settle for the 23.8 Dell monitor on sale I saw in the store. That way when I get my build done it can be a side monitor that is sideways for browsing while I do work on my main monitor when I get one. Two birds with one stone. Thanks for suggesting the hp monitor though.
>>53073346
About arms length, and its not as absurd as you might think if you're used to a two or three monitor setup. In fact its not quite as wide as two 24" monitors side by side, and not quite the same height as a 24" monitor turned vertically as in a typical three monitor setup.
Given that its about 115ppi its also nice and sharp.
>>53073769
For 1440p 28-32" is optimal. For 2160p you want 38-42". This is assuming you aren't using any kind of scaling.
>>53074530
I've got 2560x1600. The DPI is fine, but the physical size is large enough that I find myself moving my head to see it all.
>>53074606
I don't see that as a particular problem given that you also have to do that with a large multi monitor setup. The key advantage to a large format display is that it can remove the need for multiple monitors due to the size and resolution while at the same time having no gaps between displays or bezels.
Works up close, and also at 10 feet if you want to watch a movie.
>mfw using a 32'' LED 1080 HDTV as a monitor
Shit took like a solid month of fucking around with settings and installing f.lux to NOT have my eyes feel like they were melting out of my skull after 10 minutes of use.
Now that my eyes are used to it, and I've found optimal settings, I'm loving it.
>>53074662
I'd use a TV if i wanted to watch at 10 ft and multi monitor was a shit stop-gap for a time when big single monitors were comparatively expensive. I still think 27-30" is ideal monitor size.

move your monitor further back. still, I use triple monitor and sit pretty close and my neck is fine.
multi-monitor > bigass/wideass monitor
seriously, I'm never going back. not having to squish/switch windows is amazing.
Quit your bitching. Big monitors are awesome. 32" Samsung 2560x1440 here. Amazing.
>>53073346
You realise 4k exists in current year? 4K@40inch is perfect.
27" 1440p 144hz
>>53076583
4k media is abysmal at the moment and that's before you consider the kind of computer that's needed to consume 4k media, specifically vidya.
Is this setup work the cash?
>>53079346
dell ultrasharp will never be worth the cash again because other companies are capable of releasing products of a higher quality at a fraction of the cost
>>53079646
Can you name them?
>>53079115
then run your games at less than the native resolution of the monitor or something

Look at the fucking manlet.
Which monitor should I get for under £100?
>>53072478
just got a QX2710
IPS (or equivelant)
2560x1440
96Hz
no scaler (very low input lag)
>>53072501
>40" is the optimal size for a monitor
youre absolutely incorrect.
1080p is a garbage resolution and always has been
TVs have horrendous input lag
>>53074606
>DPI
>Fine
I just got a 30'' monitor. DPI is way too high.
I came from a 1200p 27''.
I'm thinking of getting 2 more 30''s
Should I?

The only remotely similar thing are the Korean panels and those have worse colors, thicker bezels and more often than not dead pixels
>>53072478

>>53083344
Those korean things are actually all iMac screen quality rejects. That, the lacking input and the dodgy way they're sold (people who don't even speak english selling them on eBay) is enough to hold back most people with any sense.

How is 25" big? 24" is like the normal size for monitors these days and you should only go up from there.
>having to move your head with 25" monitor
Maybe don't have your nose touching the screen
Also
>moving your head breaks your neck
Are you really that unhealthy that you find it uncomfortable to move your head? Its better that your head is moving around so maybe in the future it doesn't hurt to turn your head.

Is there anything wrong with the dell u2515 apart from only 60hz and no adaptive framerate?

I've got an Asus MX239H and it was too small to be my main monitor so I bought a 1440p IPS korean monitor just so that I would have more screen real estate.

I've got the 23 inch version of that, its an amazing monitor but the PPI at 27 inches is going to be fucking terrible, you'll hate it within a day.

have fun RMA:ing 70% of all your monitors because they don't do quality control and you need 6 dead pixels on their most premium panels to even get a replacement kek
is there a korean ips 4k with no scaler?
