Currently sitting with an older monitor (bought used for the time being just until I could upgrade). Now that I have some free time, and the desk is being built to withstand dual monitor set up, what monitor would be best? Price difference is $2, so nothing crazy. I'm not looking for a 144hz, 1ms response time monitor, since I don't plan on doing any hardcore gaming, but something nice would be cool.

First option:
LG Electronics UM57 25UM57 25-Inch Screen LED-lit Monitor

Second option:
LG 25UM58-P 25-Inch 21:9 UltraWide IPS Monitor with Screen Split
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01BV1XB2K/ref=ox_sc_sfl_title_3?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER

This is the stand I plan on getting as well. Not sure if it helps at all, don't think so, but anyways...

Don’t want 144hz. Specified that.


And the other types are...?

plasma, CRT, projected image, ELD, etc.

Pros and cons of each?

Only ever heard and used of LCD, as far as I know of

Lcd is old

Oh I read his first post as led. Lol. Thanks!
