I am looking for suggestions & advice.
My 28" Hanns G finally "died." It must of had bad capacitors as when it would shut off it never wanted to go back on. I love the size but the colors and viewing angle were horrible. But it was 1920x1200 instead of 1080 which was good for working with documents.
I am not sure what to get. I have looked at 2 of the IPS models below but not the HP 32" MVA which is tempting. I love the IPS screens on my 10" HP Omni and Moto G4 Plus. No way will I go back to a TN but debating the MVA.
Primary Uses:
* Multitasking Research / Word Doc Composition
* A movie once or twice a week (we have no TV)
* Local OTO Football games (USB TV tuner)
* Haven't played games in a couple years but could see trying Forza on the PC
PC
* Lenovo Y580 Laptop
I am definitely open to suggestions as there are so many monitors on the market & deals, but below are what I am looking at today.
I have looked at in person the HP 27" 1080p FHD display and the LG 34" Ultra Wide 1080p. I like the color and viewing angles on both.
The 34" UltraWide would be great for me--EXCEPT at 1080p I am concerned the vertical resolution isn't sufficient for an entire Word doc or PDF to be viewed. I cannot on my 1280x1024 display and I know it was tight on the Hanns G 1920x1080.
The HP 27" looks nice and is a good price. But if I have it for another 5-10 years I don't think the resolution is what I want.
I have not seen the Acer 25" QHD but it seems good. Just not sure about going down 3 inches.
I would like to be convinced the WVA panel on the HP 32" QHD won't bother me. I have read contrast at angles is the issue? Don't think I have seen a WVA panel before but it had solid reviews. 32" won't be too large for my desk arrangement. Getting the large screen + resolution seems perfect for what I want. And while at the higher end of what I want to pay a 32" QHD with a QUALITY panel sounds great. If it was IPs I would have already ordered it!
