Ask HN: Best monitor for text (Programming, terminal work)
I'm looking to build a desktop for myself, and having a trouble finding the best monitors for text display and sharpness. I just burnt two hours scouring the internet, but could not land on a solid recommendation. Anybody here went through my search and found something?
Size: Around 24 inches (22 to 25)
Resolution : Has to do better than 1080p. My eyes are used to MacBook Retina display. So I'm looking for comparable level of sharpness
Color accuracy: I hate the poppy saturated colors. I'd like colors to be naturally reproduced. Monitor should ideally just display whatever image the PC sends it. Nothing fancy is expected.
Input lag: Very important. The lowest input lag the best.
Gaming: None. As I said, the goal is sharper text, and no gaming needs. Dont care for FreeSync or Gsync or other GPU related techs, as this display will be driven only by integrated GPUs from either intel or AMD.
Budget: < USD 500
Multi-monitor: I'm probably the odd one that hates multi-monitor setup. I like my focus area to be a single surface, and one with the best quality.
Anyone have any recommendations?
