So i traded my xbox one X versus a tower from my brother.
The PC is decent, but my question is, what monitor i should be using?
Im not looking to spend 300$ on a monitor tho, i already have a 35 inch tv and a 55 but is it too big to use one of these?

What would u recommend using?
(Im from Canada)
Edit: Also if i want to dual monitor how this work?
And what does it can actually do?
Its look nice but what the extra of doing this lol

...Speccy is a really nice system hardware/temperature, information Utility.
...simply install it...and run the program...then post a screen shot of the main page of the program, when posting a problem/question on these forums.

What vid card is in the computer?



As for dual monitor... it let's you have different things on each monitor. On my setup ( I have movies on HDD) I can watch a movie on the TV, and browse or game on my monitor.
It does cost anything extra...it just requires another cable.

But to recommend a monitor, we would need to know what vid card you have.

I will post the information of the PC tomorrow as it still at brother's home.
As for the first question, what a good monitor could be?
It can depend on the video card i assume?

I suggest getting a 24" IPS monitor. TN panel monitors are fine too. The 21.5" version of this episode is a bit cheaper.

Yea, just make sure you have the right connections. And only connect the monitors to your video card.
