Ask HN: Which external monitor do you use?

9 pointsby waqasadayalmost 8 years ago
Hi guys, I currently use a MacBook pro retina and find myself in need of an external display. Which monitor do you recommend I should get in 24&quot;?<p>Ideally don&#x27;t want to spend much money on it.

Do you need one for productivity or some other reason? The only reason I ask is because if it&#x27;s for productivity from having more screens I stopped using an external monitor and find I am more productive with command-tab. I know there&#x27;s a lot of purported research suggesting this should not be possible and most people may disagree but I really feel it&#x27;s true for me and so if you can borrow a monitor for a while you may want to test if this turns out to be the case for you.

What&#x27;s your budget? &quot;Much&quot; is relative.<p>At work I hook my MBP up to a Dell P2415Q 4K monitor. It&#x27;s nice because 4K at that size runs well at &quot;Retina&quot; scaling.<p>At home I have the LG Ultra Fine 5K, but that&#x27;s a 27&quot;.

I use a TV Samsung UN40KU6000 4K and 60Hz, cheap great display. I&#x27;ve prioritized real-state in detriment of retina.

HP 23es - awesome design, great contrast, colors and viewing angles and very reasonable price.
