"If you're looking to upgrade from a basic 1080p monitor you've been using for a decade, I recommend buying the Dell 27 Plus 4K. It's sharp, has good colors, and is shockingly affordable. I knew right when I tested it that it would be unbeatable at its price, and I promise: I won't be offended if you skip all my words and buy that immediately. But if you're shopping around, I have advice ranging from panel types to refresh rate. Let's dive in."
"This isn't the brightest or most color-accurate type of panel, but it's grown into the cheapest and most widely accessible option. Within the category of LED backlighting, there are also a variety of LCD (liquid crystal display) types. IPS (in-plane switching) is the most common, while VA (vertical alignment) is still used in some cheaper creator-focused monitors, and TN (twisted nematic) is available in some lower-end gaming monitors. But IPS has become the standard."
Monitors now offer improved affordability, speed, and image quality across many sizes and feature sets. Buyers should match resolution, panel type, refresh rate, connectivity, and size to their workflow and budget. For general-purpose upgrades from 1080p, a 27-inch 4K IPS monitor provides sharpness, accurate colors, and strong value. LED-backlit LCDs remain dominant, with IPS as the standard for color and viewing angles, VA used in some creator-focused displays, and TN appearing in some lower-end gaming models. Assess whether extra ports, smart features, larger screens, or OLED are worth the added cost before buying.
