Monitor recommendations

Monitor sat down this morning after many years good service. Any recommendations?

Re: Monitor recommendations

Nothing specific to recommend but you should definitely consider going for a high refresh rate (gaming) screen, 100hz or above. If your PC can do that sort of frame rate you will notice games feel so much smoother than at 60hz. I got a new screen a few months back and I could never go back now. The difference was night and day.

Lettuce know what it's like Schlack I might be in the market for a new monitor myself, and designate my 21" to second screen status.

Arrived today! pretty good in comparison to the 7 year old 22" screen. Need to figure out settings - gradients aren't that smooth and its a little bright.

Re: Monitor recommendations

Yes I've read a lot lately about 144hz screens coming pretty crap colour settings out of the box except for LG so may require some messing about - really any screen needs this anyway but some are better than others on factory settings.

I expect you'll be seeing us turn a corner well before we see you in csgo now!
