  • i`ve 1600×1050 22inch 16:10 monitor, is it worth to upgrade to 24inch 1920×1080 16:9 monitor by replacing & paying? more 125$ ?

  • you need to look if that monitor is matte or glossy

    The decision whether to buy a glossy or matte LCD monitor is NOT subjective.
    everuone who tells you glossy is better is retarded,blind or is selling that shit!
    only reason this faggots are pushing glossy shit is because it is cheaper to make

  • You’re being either purposefully obtuse or are just trolling, my friend. PC’s are common place in lounges and bedrooms, and people care about the way theirs looks….which is why most people colour match their equipment or think about how it looks. Apple have built an empire on the fact that style, design and colour co-ordination are important to them. Dell introduced colour choice to their cheaper Inspiron range of laptops and desktops and they flew out of the door faster than ever. Fact.

  • yes it is

  • “Finally, screw the bezel. Why even mention it? ”

    Because some people care about the way their tech fits together aesthetically, as well as fits in with the rest of their décor. It’s not unusual to care about such things.

  • wtf is with his laugh at 3:20 ? :D

  • You’ve got 2 eyes, and they’re oriented horizontally, not vertically.

    Widescreen is better, its more natural. You just need to get used to it. If you’ve got 2 monitors, then you can stick with the 4:3.

    Finally, screw the bezel. Why even mention it?

  • Just got my BenQ 24″ today :)
