It’s been my general experience with monitors that you get what you pay for. The more expensive one is likely to be nicer to use and will last longer. The really cheap one will probably break within a year or two.
I’m still using two cheap monitors I bought years ago. One is 15 years old. One is 13 I think. LG. I’ve debated buying new ones over the years but I can’t dump things that still work.
Why? I researched the same. I am also looking to buy, but maybe larger (but also 1440p), and I remember seeing the larger version of this MSI one and thinking when I buy I may buy that one. It received great reviews from what I remember. It is excellent for gaming, decent for editing, good choice all round.
I meant more modern ones. As technology shrinks it all just gets less and less reliable. Stuff built 15 years ago was fairly chunky and margins for error were correspondingly wider. The more pricey models are slightly more likely to use better-quality components and might have a bit more attention paid to process control. The assembly tolerances on TFT panels and modern wafer-scale IC packages are just insane; I’m frankly amazed this stuff works at all.
If you get a 32 at 1440 (2k), it will look like 1080. Pixels will be more obvious the nearer you are to the monitor.
I was looking at 4k 32 inch screens, but the realestate they take up on my desk is way too much, moving your head to look side to side is uncomfortable, and my laptop setups cant really run a 4k 32.
Hmm yeah… ideally I would try it first. But, I am typing this on a 1080p 27" monitor. When I go to 1440p I need my monitor to be larger to keep my viewing experience about the same. If things are too small my eyes get red.
