Favorite 49" PC monitor for trading?

Discussion in 'Hardware' started by Saltynuts, May 28, 2021.

  1. My 43" LG computer monitor just went out. I think I sprayed too much bug spray on it trying to get rid of nats, however that is spelled, lol. So now I'm on my ancient BENQ, like 27 or 32 inches or something, seems SOOOOOOO small.

    So I gotta get another monitor. Since I had a 43, don't want smaller than that. But I read 49" is pretty much the biggest monitors they have for the desktop. So I want to go with that.

    I want it to be nice and sharp for trading (or investing quickly). Gaming as well. Watching lots of scandalous videos. Work. I want the resolution, I want the refresh rate, I want good colors, without things being washed out... I want it ALL!!! I can pay a lot for that muffler, but I'd prefer not to.

    Any ideas are much appreciated!!!

  4. Agreed at holy shit.... you don't want to know. :)

    So I've been researching - like this Samsung?




    Seems pretty damn legit, price not so bad either!

  6. So AR15, check out this link:




    This is apparently their new monitor compared to the one I linked above. More expensive too, of course. Especially if you want that 240hz refresh rate lol. But I think 4k is like is like 3840 x 2160 resolution or something like that. If you scroll down in that link, this one is like 5120 x 1440. So better in one dimension, worse in the other. Is that 4k somehow? Or better? Worse? I guess its so big in one dimension because it is so wide, not as tall?

    This crap is so confusing lol. Thanks so much for the help!

    LOL Salty, you just needed a bit of those screen cleaning solution applied on a microfibre cloth and that's it. Your screen would've been good as new. Such a large screen though, it's mainly gonna be used for gaming, I bet. LOL It's way too big for trading. Unless you have a super fast mouse, you won't even be able to make it across the screen in time to place a trade after reading the news.

    Have fun!! Looking forward to seeing a photo of it. :sneaky:

    yeah i dont think its possible to have 4k on ultrawide but the 5120 one is the best quality they have
