I want to get an LCD monitor that's a little bigger than my 19" one and I don't have hundreds to spend on it, so if necessary I'll find a refurbished or used one. I'd like the resolution to be good and also be able to display text without it getting fuzzy because I do a lot of spreadsheet work too. What things do I need to look at besides resolution? Refresh rates? Aspect ratio? And what is a good aspect ratio? One time I tried a 16:9 screen and it distorted all my pictures. I work with family picture albums and those widescreen monitors look like they stretch the pictures and make them ugly. So if anyone could suggest a good monitor that works well for games, text, and pictures, that would be great. :)


Answer
It is known that 15360 X 8640 ( 8640p ) ( 16:9 ratio ) @ 300 pixels per inch is the most the eye can see. Most people can't tell the difference between 1920 X 1080p ( 1080p ) ( 16:9 ratio ) and 15360 X 8640 ( 8640p ) ( 16:9 ) ; therefore a fixed raster or also called native resolution that is the best would be 1920 X 1080. Older CRT monitors were best for gaming 0 ms response time, and each resolution it can display is a native resolution. LCD gaming monitors are cheaper TN panel types, so your response time is around or lower than 2 ms. Also 3D monitors ( with 3D glasses ) with true 120 Hz refresh rate are the ones to use, not for 3D glasses but normal 3D gaming. Some 120 Hz monitors use interpolation which is not a true 120 Hz refresh rate. Benq makes true 120 hz monitors my older two BenQ XL2410T monitors can only display 1920 X 1080 @ True 120 Hz with DVI-D-DL connection. Benq makes newer 120 Hz gaming monitors ; XL2420T and XL2420TX with 3D glasses, ( these Benq monitors are all around 24 inches). When using a gaming monitor you need a high end video card such as a Nvidia 580, 680 or AMD 6970, 7970 video card(s) etc.. My BenQ monitor can display 4:3 resolutions, 16:9 resolutions and 16:10 resolutions as well. IPS and VA Panel LCDs are better for picture quality, IPS being the best. but you lose faster response time. So for best Native Resolution for a Gaming Monitor or any monitor 1920 X 1080 ( 16:9 ) would be the best. Your pictures may be in a ratio not at 16:9 therefore when using 16:9 monitor it will interpolate your pictures to 16:9 therefore distorting them, pictures taken in other ratio should be shown on monitor with proper ratio. Also the Native Resolution of monitor will be resolution with the best picture quality, providing that the images were also done in that resolution. Do you really need a gaming monitor... maybe not unless you do some hardcore gaming, maybe you just need a monitor with the same resolution that your pictures were taken in...
