Monitor Recommendations
Hello!
Costco is currently having a major summer/back-to-school sale on monitors. As such, I’ve been considering upgrading my home office setup from my job-provided monitor to something better. The caveat is that I want my monitor to be able to do a few things:
- act as a second screen for my work laptop
- act as a gaming monitor for my gaming laptop
- act as a gaming monitor for some of my consoles (switch 2, PS2-4, GameCube, etc.)
———(Before anyone starts, I’m not getting a CRTV for the retros- I have a converter and will be using it.)
I plan on using an HDMI switcher to switch between the devices as needed.
As far as the gaming laptop is concerned, I don’t play FPS or PVP games, so I don’t need the highest refresh. I mostly play steam games like E33, Hades, Sea of Stars, Witcher. I also play Genshin Impact and HSR.
And then my console games are similar: I’m mostly an Action / Turn Based JRPG player (FF7R, Age of Elliot, Pokémon, and similar).
Given what I want to do, is there one monitor in the Costco sale that would perform overall better than the others? Images attached are of the monitors I think fit the bill best, but not sure where to go from this list.
Also, I understand a better, higher end monitor from a PC store like Microcenter will always be more recommended. I’m just trying to be budget conscious right now.
Thank you in advance!
