Current rig:
CPU: Ryzen5 1600 with 16GB RAM
GPU: Zotac 1060 GTX 6GB AMP Edition
Current Monitor: Acer 230HL - 23inch 60hz, DVI only
View/sitting distance: typical office desk, an arm's length distance at minimum
Usage: browsing, single-player games (all kinds, from Hearthstone to Mass Effect: Andromeda), word processing, YouTube and downloaded movies and manga.
Lately I'm noticing a flickering background on the bottom half of this old monitor which I bought in 2011, and since I recently upgraded my machine I think it's time to get a new monitor. I have saved quite a bit by cannibalizing my old machine (SSD, HDD, case etc), so anything below RM1500 is fine.
Notes: Much of my movie collection is 720p, TV series in 480p and most if not all of my anime are mini-encodes of 720p or higher. I recently received a 50mbps Unifi so my download preference could change in the future, but I don't see myself downloading blu-ray or huge movie files.
While not a competitive gamer, there is noticeable tearing in my current set-up, this is one reason I feel the need for a new monitor. I'm fine with 1080p, in fact I was ready to purchase on this guy's recommendation but it is not sold nor shipped to Malaysia:
LG 32MA68HY-P 32-Inch IPS Monitor
