if im not really into 4K yet, wat would u recommend?

can recommend me a ips 23" monitor, glossy and wifout those anti glare coating.
im setting up a darkroom for my pc...so i dun have to worry abt reflections or external bright lightings...

i think his concern is whether the gc downgrding the resolution to the monitor native reso would be an issue or not...

i think no.

still DELL huh...im wondering why dell suddenly bcome the mainstream monitor brand now
last i recall it was Samsung....

but thanks for the recommendation.
i wanna setup dual monitor for my PC and gonna pair it with my old samsung xl2370.
one for gaming, another one for photo editing.

ok...not sure if i can ask this next question here...but how do one setup dual monitor on his pc?

my old samsung monitor is having hdmi input only....while my gc only has 1 hdmi output but 3 displayport output.
can i still setup a dual monitor using one hdmi, while another one displayport?

but from i google so far - glossy provides better display, whereas matte may sort of like dull the color...
just like how i experience between matte screen protector vs a glossy screen protector for my handphone. although glossy will be a magnetic fingerprint...but im have no reason to touch my monitor here..so...

but why u said glossy is a big NO for photo editing. i thought glossy cons is the reflection, which i would have it solved by sitting in a darkroom...

i mean whats not to love on the glossy screen (left matte, right glossy)


but i thought u mentioned glossy is good for movie...why not for photo editing...now im totally confuse...

so true...i was just having that same thought as well....

even if i get the most expensive IPS monitor now and fully calibrate it to produce true to life colour...
but when export it out to the internet, it's gonna be view by non-ips viewer who may claim the color is meh...

sigh...decision...decision...

anyway, im starting to catch up on the latest monitor tech and spec available and your explanation and recommendations has really help along the way djlah.
many thanks.

now i need to look at my wallet, google, plan and decide...

no need to say like that...he's just expressing his own opinion...which i respect and appreciate it.

but thanks for your advice as well. will take note of it.

im wondering - once i setup dual-monitor, how do you tell windows which monitor to display what?

say monitor 1 to display a game
monitor 2 to display a browser
or
monitor 1+2 display an extended game or desktop wallpaper...
