Even though it's a 4k monitor with many embedded functionalities the 60hz max refresh rate really kills it for me. It's 2024 anything below 120hz should be discontinued in my opinion!
If you're using it as a TV I actually personally think high refresh rates look terrible for most content besides sports. There is a reason why movies are presented at 24 fps—not because screens can't process higher frame rates. It's what looks most natural to the human eye. You may have heard the term "cinematic" kicked around. This is a component of that aesthetic, along with some associated motion blur. If you were ever wondering why your shows look "off" when watching on a modern TV, it is probably because you have it set to 120 Hz.
So if you're playing games on this, or using it as a computer monitor, you MAY notice it doesn't refresh as fast as you'd like. But for watching TV and movies, do yourself a favor and try a lower refresh rate like 30Hz. You might be surprised how much better you like it.
I just bought 27" 2k monitor during the Prime sale this week for $118.xx
My 2k security system is hidden in a cabinet on the upper floor, and I've run a 50 foot HDMI cable downstairs inside a closet in the master bedroom with a sliding door that's always open.
Monitor is on and connected to a Kasa switch that turns on at 6:00am every day and turns off at midnight. Basically the 6 hours per day of power saving, I would think, extends the life by about 25%.
Reason I got this particular monitor is that it has built-in speakers and 2 HDMI inputs, with one for the security system, while the other one has a $20 onn. 4k streaming box from Walmart plugged into it.
You see, the security is always displayed on it, but if I ever want the morning news or YouTube music on while working or the wife wants a show while cleaning or whatever, the monitor acts as a little TV capable of streaming and mirroring.
For $120 + 20 for the 4k onn device, it's a no brainer FOR MY USE CASE.
Here's the link to the monitor I just got...
MSI PRO MP275Q 27 Inch WQHD Office Monitor - 2560 x 1440 IPS Panel, 100 Hz, Eye-Friendly Screen, Built-in Speakers, Tilt-Adjustable - HDMI 2.0b, DP (1.2a)
Now this is how everyone on every public forum should reply. Explaining your own use case scenario, which can be unique and very different from someone else's. No need to bash anyone or put them down. Thank you sir!! 🫡🫡🫡
