Frequently asked questions
- What resolution should I choose?
- 1080p suits smaller screens and budgets, 1440p is a sharp all-rounder for most sizes, and 4K offers fine detail best appreciated on larger displays.
- Does a high refresh rate matter if I do not game?
- A higher refresh rate makes scrolling and cursor movement noticeably smoother, so many find it pleasant for general use, though it matters most in games.
- Which panel type is best?
- IPS offers balanced colour and viewing angles, VA gives deeper contrast, and OLED delivers the best contrast and response. The right choice depends on your priorities.
