30"-35" Monitor for gaming and movies

I would recommend the LG 34UM95C. It is a great 34" WQHD 21:9 monitor that would be great for both movies and game. It is good for movies since it is a 21:9 ratio so the top black bars in movies are ...

High DPI 21“ or 23” monitor for 13" MacBook Pro

First of all, it would not be easy to find a monitor with a similar DPI as MacBook between 21" and 23". You must choose between screen size and pixel density. However, it is not very convenient to ...

Monitor with 4k, 120hz+, TN, G-Sync?

You can't yet. There's high frequency monitors but they seem to top out at 1440p in most cases. Some of them may have gsync. All existing 4k monitors top out at 60hz as far as I know since the '...

Computer is far away from my desk: Is it possible to wireless connect a display monitor to it? How?

You can use KVM over IP for that purpose. You just need to connect your PC and your desk with ethernet cable. It's not so cheap and has some limitations for screen resolution, but maybe it can solve ...

Video card for dual-monitor setup
