In the market for a new computer monitor?
Because of all the options out there – namely, in size, shape, brand and price – strolling the aisles at your local big box electronics store could be an overwhelming experience.
The good news is displays are getting bigger, thinner and supporting higher resolution inputs and with advanced connectivity options for your laptop or desktop (Windows, Mac or Chrome OS). While there are premium solutions for more demanding users, prices of monitors are dropping for those with more modest needs (starting at about $130 for a brand-name 24-inch screen).
“There are a lot of exciting changes in the monitor category, which may create some confusion,” acknowledges Jeff Volpe, president of ViewSonic Americas, a visual display company based in Brea, California. “Therefore, you simply need to ask yourself a few questions before you buy, as it’s not a one-size-fits-all scenario.”
Those questions may include “what am I using it for?” and “where will I be using it?”
