Re: Re: Best Budget Desktop PC's 2021 for Sims 4
@scarletgirl27 Your options for a monitor depend on what resolution you're looking for. If you want to stay at 1920x1080, I wouldn't go higher than 24"; the screen tends to look grainy if it's any larger. These three are all good options, with good color range and high refresh rates for a smoother gaming experience:
Samsung and LG both make high-quality monitors. The LG has a better-quality panel (IPS vs. VA), but in practical terms, they're close enough that you might happen to like the look of the Samsung panels better. I'd suggest going to a Best Buy or another store that has monitors hooked up and ready to view so you can see for yourself, not just these or similar examples but other brands as well. Every panel of a certain type (as in, IPS or VA) will look very similar in terms of color and contrast.
If you don't like the ones above, there are other similar options too. While I think these are objectively the best quality, you might find you prefer the look of another brand, and in that case, let me know and I'll see what else is out there.
If you want a higher resolution, specifically 2560x1440, there aren't a lot of options for under $200, but these two are good quality:

They're both IPS, the highest-quality panel in terms of color, and they run at 75 Hz, which may or may not make a difference to you as compared to a higher refresh rate. If you do visit a store that has monitors on display, it's a good idea to compare 60 or 75 Hz with 120 or 144, just to see whether you care about higher refresh rates.
