Monitor suggestions

Monitors

Some monitor suggestions grouped by their core specs. Each link is to an in-depth review or note about the product. The “speculative” section implies reason to believe the monitor could be good (usually going off the panel used), but lacking in-depth reviews to prove so.

Note: Monitors are not tiered inside the categories and they are not all comparable. As prices and availability vary in different regions, the idea is that you can find what’s actually available for you at your budget and then compare them.
