Since only you know what you'll display on the monitor, where you'll be placing it, and your budget, there is no such thing as the ideal monitor size. For the average home user who checks their email, browses the web, etc., a 24-inch monitor is probably perfectly fine. However, if you're doing office work (think comprehensive spreadsheets), then a bigger, higher-resolution monitor would make more sense. </p> <div id="mntl-sc-block_31-0" class="comp mntl-sc-block mntl-sc-block-adslot mntl-block"></div> <p id="mntl-sc-block_32-0" class="comp mntl-sc-block mntl-sc-block-html"> Unlike choosing a TV, the biggest monitor isn't always the best. Unless the resolution increases with the size, the clarity of what's on the screen will decrease.

Also, consider the adjustability of the monitor. Does it move to accommodate more than one size of a person?

UHD has become the standard choice for industry professionals, offering a broad resolution of 3840 x 2160 (4K) up to 6016 by 3384 (6K). That is more than enough screen real estate to do everything from game designing to video production. These monitors will range from 24 inches to 32 inches. While you will see bigger monitors when you start looking, not all of them will reproduce colors as accurately and might not have very high resolutions. </p> <div id="mntl-sc-block_49-0" class="comp mntl-sc-block mntl-sc-block-adslot mntl-block"></div> <h3 id="mntl-sc-block_50-0" class="comp mntl-sc-block tech-sc-block-subheading mntl-sc-block-subheading"> <span class="mntl-sc-block-subheading__text"> Gaming </span> </h3> <p id="mntl-sc-block_51-0" class="comp mntl-sc-block mntl-sc-block-html"> Gaming monitors have a different purpose than professional monitors.

Ultrawide monitors are much broader than they are tall—way wider than your typical monitor. Anyone can use these monitors, but an ultrawide monitor is an especially good idea if your work spreads horizontally. These monitors can also be good for watching movies.

Hook it up to your machine to ensure everything is working as it should and accomplishes what you want. If you're primarily going to be using it to watch TV and movies, check the space to see that it fits. Start playing something you're already familiar with so you can compare the picture and sound quality to what you were getting from your previous monitor. </p> <div id="mntl-sc-block_70-0" class="comp mntl-sc-block mntl-sc-block-adslot mntl-block"></div> <p id="mntl-sc-block_71-0" class="comp mntl-sc-block mntl-sc-block-html"> If you want to use it for work, open up a few programs and documents to get a feel for how legible everything is and how it may affect (for better or worse) your workflow. And if you're going to use it for gaming, load up a graphics-intensive game and see if it looks any better or responds faster. </p> <div id="mntl-sc-block_72-0" class="comp mntl-sc-block mntl-sc-block-adslot mntl-block"></div> <span class="heading-toc" id="toc-more-tips"></span><h2 id="mntl-sc-block_73-0" class="comp mntl-sc-block tech-sc-block-heading mntl-sc-block-heading hide-on-toc"> <span class="mntl-sc-block-heading__text"> More Tips </span> </h2> <ul id="mntl-sc-block_74-0" class="comp mntl-sc-block mntl-sc-block-html"> <li><strong>Shop around</strong>. Unless getting a new monitor is vital and time-sensitive, take your time to check out more models and compare prices. If time isn't much of a factor, consider holding off until an electronics sale event (such as end-of-the-year holidays).</li><li><strong>Don't be afraid to return it</strong>. Think of your new monitor as more of an appliance than an accessory. It's going to be with you for a long time and see a lot of use. If you buy one that doesn't quite fit your needs or is otherwise disappointing, check the return policy and bring it back or exchange it if you can. You don't want to get stuck with a "just okay" monitor if you can avoid it.</li><li><strong>Plan ahead</strong>.<strong> </strong>It's been said but bears repeating: Make sure you know where you're going to put your monitor. If you have a spot picked out, check the monitor's dimensions and then measure the space where you plan to put it. If you intend to get a new entertainment center or desk to go with your new monitor, triple-check both their measurements so you won't end up with a display that's too big or too small.</li> </ul> <div id="mntl-sc-block_75-0" class="comp mntl-sc-block mntl-sc-block-adslot mntl-block"></div> <div id="mntl-sc-block_76-0" class="comp mntl-sc-block tech-sc-block-featuredlink mntl-sc-block-featuredlink mntl-block related-link"><a href="https://www.lifewire.com/upgrade-a-laptop-cpu-8580311" rel="nocaes" id="mntl-sc-block-featuredlink__link_3-0" class="mntl-sc-block-featuredlink__link mntl-text-link " data-tracking-container="true" data-tracking-id="featured-link" ><span class="link__wrapper">Can You Upgrade a Laptop CPU?</span> <svg class="icon icon-arrow-right " > <use xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" xlink:href="#icon-arrow-right" href="#icon-arrow-right"></use> </svg></a></div> <div id="mntl-sc-block_77-0" class="comp mntl-sc-block mntl-sc-block-adslot mntl-block"></div> <div id="mntl-sc-block_78-0" class="comp mntl-sc-block tech-sc-block-faq mntl-sc-block-faq mntl-block theme-expanded"><span class="heading-toc" id="toc-frequently-asked-questions-ce16511f-2064-450f-9b9b-67d70f80395f"></span> <div id="mntl-sc-block-faq__title_1-0" class="comp mntl-sc-block-faq__title mntl-text-block">FAQ</div> <ul id="mntl-sc-block-faq__content_1-0" class="comp mntl-sc-block-faq__content mntl-accordion "> <li class="accordion__item js-accordion-item is-active" data-ordinal="1"> <div tabindex="-1" class="accordion__header js-accordion-trigger" id="mntl-accordion__item_1-0-section-0"> <span class="accordion__title">How do you measure a computer monitor?</span> </div> <div class="accordion__body"> <div id="mntl-accordion__content_1-0" class="comp mntl-accordion__content"> <div class="faq-accordion__item-answer"> <p>Computer monitors are measured diagonally. <a href="https://www.lifewire.com/measure-a-computer-screen-5095849" data-component="link" data-source="inlineLink" data-type="internalLink" data-ordinal="1">To measure a computer screen</a> using a tape measure, start at the upper-left corner and extend it diagonally to the opposite bottom-right corner.
