Hi!
I would like to buy a new computer monitor for my PC, and I really need some help, because I wouldn't like to buy a monitor and then later find out I could get better at a lower price.
So if anyone has any experiences or knows which brands would be the best, that would be really helpful.
Anything is welcome, really.

Thank you.
