‘Best’ is not always subjective. With a little awareness of your display needs and a bit of research one can always find the BEST budget monitor for themselves. Monitors showcased at electronic stores combined with smart salesmen usually manage to woo average consumer into buying glossy, shiny, mirror-replacing monitors. Calling it piano finish and what not, they are extreme finger print magnets.Since most of them look almost the same externally and they all play nice sharp HD videos on these monitors, you go beyond looks and check out the specs. You start getting confused when a monitor with much higher and better specs displays poorer picture but the salesman talks about brands, viewing angles and other stuff, you don’t know which to give importance to.
