Where to buy discounted HD monitors

Shaun Garrod Shaun Garrod

With the sudden decline of cathode ray computer monitors and the massive growth in high definition PC screens, it can seem like a somewhat daunting task trying to choose the monitor that is right for you. Added to the fact that many people will be on limited budgets only makes this task even more difficult. Here, we shall be looking at where to buy discounted HD monitors.

Why go HD?

HD displays are really becoming the norm nowadays, whether coming with a complete new computer package or just going into any High Street computer shop to buy a new monitor. Benefits of high definition displays Of all of the features that a high definition display has, the most important is the sheer quality of the picture on offer. With many people using their computer as a central entertainment hub, it makes sense to have a high quality picture, especially with the advent of Blu-ray films and the more increasingly common ability to download or stream HD 1080p content. Indeed, for many, there really is no comparison when it comes to more traditional monitors of yesteryears. Does size matter? Whilst a large number of HD TV screens can be used as monitors with PC equipment, you have to consider the practicalities of using one as such. For instance, if you intend to have your TV mounted to a wall or suchlike and have a dedicated computer for watching content, then this could well be fine for you. However, if you intend to also use your TV as a monitor and also for other tasks such as word processing or surfing the web, would you really want to sit just a few feet away from your brand new 42" leviathan? Sometimes, smaller will be more than sufficient. Therefore, consider this factor before buying.

What to look for and where to buy

Always try and seek out reviews of HD computer monitors before you buy. There are many impartial sites online that offer great advice in this respect. Also, try and find reviews from people that have actually already bought their equipment. Whilst some of these may have a tendency not to be quite so impartial when comparing, with impartial reviews a pretty good picture of quality and standard of the monitor can be found. Where to buy There are a number of sites to buy discounted HD monitors: Play.com Dabs.co.uk Amazon.co.uk eBay.co.uk
