As for cramped/stretched/squished UIs, it's the resolution you set that affects that, any monitor can look bad if you have the wrong resolution. | ||

That is actually an extremely low resolution for a monitor that big (not saying they are bad, but if you're gonna spend that much money get more pixels!) | ||

So you're saying go spend twice as much money to get a monitor like your's? For normal people not converting their computer into a home entertainment center, or doing some sort of high precision graphic design, a 24" HD monitor is fine for an average budget. Not everyone wants to go spend $250 on a 27 inch monitor that doesn't have HD =/ | ||

I have no need to get a 3" larger monitor. Plus HD>not HD. | ||

Last I checked the price differences were negligible. Also, you don't seem to understand what you're talking about, just by the way you're phrasing things which doesn't make sense... My monitor doesn't "not have HD"... it's higher resolution, AKA better in every way than HD. "HD>not HD" statement kind of proves my point (and your ignorance). That is simply a blatantly false statement, and while I have nothing against ignorance, I do have something against spreading misinformation when you don't know what you're talking about. Please stop. To summarize: Monitors that advertise themselves as "HD" are most likely not a good deal and the manufacturer is looking to profit off your ignorance. The sole purpose of my post was to help remove that ignorance, but apparently you'll have none of it. | ||

And last I checked there was little price difference between a big monitor with a decent resolution and a big monitor with a terribad resolution, mostly because uninformed individuals like yourself mistakenly believe "HD" is good in some way. What are you talking about? What resolution are you talking about? 1080P HD is the most common HD computer monitors. 1080P is perfect. HD is not "low" or "terribad" If youre saying only 2560 x 1600 is the only way to go, please show us something that isn't ridiculously expensive. You sound like the one that is uninformed, plus youre completely derailing this thread. I have a Dell U2311H. One of the best computer IPS monitors on the market that is 300$ or less if you can get it on sale. | ||

It derails the topic when people like you reply just to start arguments and spew pure misinformation like "HD>not HD". It would continue to derail the thread if I continued to argue with you, so I will not. The bottom line is 2560x1600 is better in every way, and "HD" is likely the lowest resolution you'll ever find on a monitor 24 inches or bigger. When I purchased my monitor the price ended up being less than if I had gone with a low resolution "HD" monitor. Granted, that was partially due to buying my computer at the same time. Just trying to provide useful info to the OP. | ||

As far as gaming goes, I prefer a monitor where I can see the entire screen without having to move my head or use my peripheral vision. The 22" monitor is perfect for my preferences. | ||
