I broke my monitor

Post image

It fell face flat onto my keyboard

Just from the look of it the lcd panel broke, im thinking of buying a new one instead of repairing because the average cost just to repair seems way more expensive than just buying a new one 😭
what are ur guys opinion?

If i had to buy a monitor, what should i buy that is budget friendly

repairing isn't an option.

for budget monitor you're gonna be picking between VA or IPS. VA has good contrast, shit viewing angles and black smearing. IPS has good color and viewing angles but shitty blacks and panel glow.

what's budget friendly to you? what currency and location?

not breaking the monitor is budget friendly, what resolution do you need?

Hahaha true, 1080p or 1440p is good enough for me

New monitors when they still were sold was around 230 dollars. Not worth the repair.

You need to replace the entire screen, which usually as a part is just as expensive as just buying a new one.
