"I'll be honest. Testing out the latest OLED gaming monitor or eye-popping 6K monitor is a lot more fun than the cheap stuff. But I'm not delusional. I know that when it comes to computer monitors, most people just want something affordable that gets the job done. Not miserable to look at or use. But also not expensive. The truth is, I don't come across as many affordable monitors as I'd like."
"When you're shopping in the "budget" tier for monitors, you're looking at anything under $200. And in today's landscape, monitors under $100 will still always be 1920 x 1080 resolution. These are usually 23.8-inch or 27-inch size options, while even the cheapest 32-inch monitors will cost you over $100. (For more information, check out our How to Choose a Monitor guide.)"
"This cheaper version has everything I liked about that model, including the highly adjustable stand, the sleek white design, and the really solid image quality. For $175 (or sometimes on sale as low as $140), it has really solid color performance and hits 300 nits of brightness. The most important feature the Dell 27 Plus has is its stand. You can adjust the height and swivel, with a built-in VESA mount, which would make it a very practical addition to your current workstat"
Most buyers prioritize affordable monitors that deliver acceptable image quality and usability rather than cutting-edge features. Budget monitors under $200 typically offer 1920x1080 resolution, commonly in 23.8-inch and 27-inch sizes; even entry-level 32-inch models usually cost more than $100. Spending between $100 and $200 unlocks options with higher resolution, USB-C hubs, faster refresh rates, or better ergonomics. The Dell 27 Plus (S2725HSM) exemplifies strong value with an adjustable stand, sleek white design, solid color performance, about 300 nits brightness, VESA compatibility, and street prices around $140–$175. Its adjustability and VESA mount make it a practical addition to many workstations.
