Have you ever found yourself feeling anxious and spending countless hours researching an electronic product? I know the feeling all too well. The emergence of new technology and marketing strategies can make it challenging to determine what we really need in a product. However, it’s important to ask ourselves, “What do I truly want from this product?” to help limit our options.

For instance, when selecting a monitor, I require a size that’s big enough to enable me to code on one side and browse the web on the other to search for solutions. Additionally, I prefer a high enough resolution that prevents me from seeing pixelation. Lastly, I prefer having HDMI ports instead of older ports such as DVI or VGA. dvi-hdmi


Size: usually, I will stick with 24” which has enough room for web browsing
Resolution: I used 1920 x 1080 on 24” screen which is consider Full HD and it’s great. The higher resolution, the more expensive
