What to consider when buying a monitor on Black Friday (27th November)?
Size
Size is typically going to be the driving factor when choosing a new monitor. Big screens are great for watching movies, playing games or increasing your efficiency by cramming more windows into your field of view. Screen size has to be a balancing act, though, since most desks aren't going to accommodate a massive 32-inch monitor without displacing the rest of your peripherals and paraphernalia. It's also worth noting that the larger the screen, the less sharp the image will be. A 1080p image might look crisp on a 24-inch display, but blown up on a 32-inch monitor it might get a little fuzzy.
Resolution
This is an especially important factor for gaming, video editing and other tasks involving high-resolution images and video. Odds are you won't find many monitors sporting resolutions below 1080p these days, but there are plenty that offer 1440p and 4K resolutions for a sharper, more-detailed picture. The caveat here is that higher resolutions are going to require more-powerful hardware, especially if you plan on playing games above 1080p or multi-tasking multiple programs on the same display. Make sure your PC has a sufficiently-powerful graphics card before dropping the cash on a high-end 4K monitor.
Refresh rate
High refresh rate monitors have become quite popular in recent years. The refresh rate dictates how many times a monitor displays a new image every second to create the illusion of motion: a 60Hz display is capable of displaying 60 images a second, whereas a 120Hz display can display 120 images a second. Higher refresh rates lead to smoother motion and, for gaming, a more responsive experience. Like resolution, however, you'll need a powerful PC to deliver stable gaming performance at higher refresh rates, so keep that in mind as you ogle those fancy 144Hz monitors.

Important information about this website
finder.com.au is one of Australia's leading comparison websites. We compare from a wide set of banks, insurers and product issuers. We value our editorial independence and follow editorial guidelines.
finder.com.au has access to track details from the product issuers listed on our sites. Although we provide information on the products offered by a wide range of issuers, we don't cover every available product or service.
Please note that the information published on our site should not be construed as personal advice and does not consider your personal needs and circumstances. While our site will provide you with factual information and general advice to help you make better decisions, it isn't a substitute for professional advice. You should consider whether the products or services featured on our site are appropriate for your needs. If you're unsure about anything, seek professional advice before you apply for any product or commit to any plan.
Products marked as 'Promoted' or 'Advertisement' are prominently displayed either as a result of a commercial advertising arrangement or to highlight a particular product, provider or feature. Finder may receive remuneration from the Provider if you click on the related link, purchase or enquire about the product. Finder's decision to show a 'promoted' product is neither a recommendation that the product is appropriate for you nor an indication that the product is the best in its category. We encourage you to use the tools and information we provide to compare your options.
Where our site links to particular products or displays 'Go to site' buttons, we may receive a commission, referral fee or payment when you click on those buttons or apply for a product. You can learn more about how we make money here.
When products are grouped in a table or list, the order in which they are initially sorted may be influenced by a range of factors including price, fees and discounts; commercial partnerships; product features; and brand popularity. We provide tools so you can sort and filter these lists to highlight features that matter to you.
We try to take an open and transparent approach and provide a broad-based comparison service. However, you should be aware that while we are an independently owned service, our comparison service does not include all providers or all products available in the market.
Some product issuers may provide products or offer services through multiple brands, associated companies or different labelling arrangements. This can make it difficult for consumers to compare alternatives or identify the companies behind the products. However, we aim to provide information to enable consumers to understand these issues.
Providing or obtaining an estimated insurance quote through us does not guarantee you can get the insurance. Acceptance by insurance companies is based on things like occupation, health and lifestyle. By providing you with the ability to apply for a credit card or loan, we are not guaranteeing that your application will be approved. Your application for credit products is subject to the Provider's terms and conditions as well as their application and lending criteria.
