Hey Team,

As per the title, we're after a late model 23-24" monitor.

Suggestions sought & welcome - looking at likely buying new and in the very near future.

(Would consider something used from one of you guys (in Auckland) provided it's in excellent nick/still under warranty etc

Flat, curved, don't care, in-built sound not required, we've powered speakers already.

Won't be used for gaming, just normal home usage.

Whats something good to go for at the moment ?

Cheers professional geekzoner's.

If it's just for home use, You can pick up some pretty good ex-lease business monitors from PBTech

PB have good prices, but don't expect them to do any effort to make sure you get a matching set when buying several of them at once if you are doing a multi monitor setup.

Steep price for if you're after just a basic monitor.

Thanks SomeoneSomewhere, you've proved super useful only very recently, cheers again.

Does it help if we add the machine it'll me connected to has miniDP / TB1 as it's display output and that the monitor is used primarily for viewing websites, pictures, YouTube etc ?

Agree with PBC costings for used items. Penty of good sources at the right price, wether it is monitors or computers.

Mini DP can be easily converted to DP with a standard cable. Just make sure the display has displayport. Chances are any computer recycler you get a second hand monitor from is going to have a bunch of mDP-DP cables floating around.

Cheap monitors are generally not going to give excellent colour performance, but if you're happy enough with a typical TV or laptop screen you'll be totally fine.

What about this HP E24Q G4 which has 2560x1440 resolution, looks pretty decent, any objections or thoughts team?

Nope, widest can do easily, is realistically a 24"... 27" could be done but a bit of a squeeze etc - have plenty height but not width, still quite liking the HP E24Q G4 unless anyone has objections or can direct to something better for its $490.09 odd delivered ?

(Be nice to move the door, or the wall, but we're not going to for this, this which really is just another frivolity).

That is nice, striking in white too, but, how to trim a half a foot from it (wish they did a 24" version)

Cheers xpd your 27" looks good, curvy too, not sure how we feel about curves.

We've made things simple, went w/the 24" HP E24Q G4 + mDP > DP lead as above/below.

Thread can be closed, cheers again GZ and members.
