Hi, I’m looking for a monitor to replace my 27” 1080p philips monitor without breaking the bank. I use it mainly to browse the internet, play games, and coding. I prefer dark black over viewing angles so VA might be better in some cases.

A must:

  1. 4k
  2. 32” or more
  3. 16:9 or 19:10
  4. 100hz or more
  5. Flat (not curved)
  6. 1 Display port

Nice to have:

  1. Good HDR
  2. Adjustable stand
  3. Glossy screen

Budget: ~400 usd (I’d go up to 500 usd for better bang for the buck deal)

I’m not in the US.

Monitors I’m considering:

  1. MSI 322URDF
  2. Dell S3225QS
  3. Samsung LS32DG702EUXEN
  4. ASUS ROG Strix XG32UCG (recommended by a friend but it’s over $600)
  5. GAMEON GOP32UHD144IPS (last option)

    Samsung LS32DG702EUXEN

    I see this at $800 for instance. Why do you think MSI is hundreds of dollars cheaper than a similarly specced samsung? Also Gameon appears to be shit compared to MSI

    Samsung LG Dell are alll good brands don’t really have any experience with Asus

        411 euros is $482 and its listed as half off of 800 euros or $938 which is you know not suspicious at all.

        Extremely low score of 2.2 out of 5 stars which tons of unanswered shit. Stuff like

        Ordered in 2024, missing RAM, ignored for 1.5+ years, now ignoring again

        No tracking code, no delivery and no customer support response. Avoid ! Ive lost money ordering an item that just disappeared.

        It is probably a broken refurbished unit sold as new with no warranty from manufacturer. Then remember that with monitors there is a certain number of defective pixels that is considered within spec.

        As an aside whereas you have no right to a replacement for a small number of dead pixels you have a right to a small return window for any reason but you may lose that return window arguing about dead pixels they aren’t required to replace for so start an unconditional return for not being wanted immediately if you get a pos. Although based on history above computeruniverse may just keep your money.

            Anything that is half of is not new its gone because it was a singular unit that was refurbished.

            On your amazon link is a grab bag of different gear listed in the same listing which OBVIOUSLY used shit.

            There is nothing wrong with buying used gear to save money but I often pay even less than half for it and prefer to buy it from other individuals. This lets me inspect it first and pay cash and no sales tax or fees to a market.
