I need 3 Vesa mountable screens. Size should be between 24.5” and 26”. Any larger or smaller isn’t preferred. Usage is for my accounting. Needs to have thin bezels, glare and usage for reading must be good, light evenness and black to white dynamic range should not be distracting. LED preferred if more efficient on electricity, but brightness capacity in nits should be hopefully at least 300, if not closer to 350+

I’m looking to compare:

- best low price deal (if there’s a blowout price at 100 or less Canadian per unit)
- best value (if there’s something amazing but it’s 200 a piece & worth every dollar)

I use these
3x Asus VP239H-P Black 23” IPS

They're cheap on sale and the blue light filter is good for long hours.

You wont find decent monitors near or below 100$ in CAd land sadly.
They start at about 120-130 even for basic 1080p.

Asus VZ279H monitor (27” IPS LED) is on sale for $200 a piece. Thin bezel, seems energy efficient, and it’s an IPS.

Downside is price, and I would prefer a 25” or max 26” size (since 3 monitors gets wide as size goes up).

Thinking I may go with 3 or these anyway. They’re on sale for 170 off each... regular 370 CAD.

I hope res is higher then 1080 cause if I can see rough edges on 23inches now lordy those would have straight up blocks.
I should note that thin bezels are a lie. theres a very distinct black bar you'll notice when you get them thats actually part of your display.

Res would have to be 1080 probably, or I’d be emulating 1080. Seems 4K is a good bump in price.

Perhaps I’ll reconsider the resolution. Thx

Well, can’t find a good 4K for a good price.

Holding off on the monitor I mentioned above. Probably want to stick to 150 per or less, and 25 inches is the perfect size of monitor. Too bad 24 and 27 are so popular.

Decided to go for 4k or close to it. Still has to be IPS. If anyone knows if any great deals in a Canada, let me know!

Decided on a dual monitor setup, rather than triple. Keeps cost down, I’ll use my laptop screen as the third screen for peripheral vision applications (email in background, calculator put to the side, personal note, etc).

Size has to be 24.5” minimum, 27” maximum (obviously insane deals could say me down to 23.8 and up to any large size).

I can’t seem to find any deals close to 200 per screen though. I found one on an Asus, was down to 300 from 450 for a 27 inch IPS, but I kept finding reviews that said “died without X weeks, days, or months”.
