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)

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.
