MONITOR
*Twisted Nematic (or TN)* are older but fast (ideal for gamers) and when paired with a high refresh rate, but TN monitors have the worst color reproduction and narrow viewing angles (170° horizontally, 160° vertically), which causes the image to shift in colour, contrast and brightness when it’s looked at skewed angles.

*In-plane switching (or IPS)* is an [LG] LCD-based technology that is used in just about every kind of display. IPS panels have vastly superior viewing angles than TNs. This means you can view IPS panels from extreme angles and still get accurate colour reproduction.

*Vertical Alignment (or VA)* is a [Samsung] LCD technology used in gaming monitors, gaming TVs, and wide displays. VA panels are something of a compromise between TN and IPS. They offer the best contrast ratios, which is why TV manufacturers use them extensively.

Standard aspect ratios and resolution
* 16:9 (eg 1980 x 1080, more likely 3440 ×1440 or 2560 × 1080)
* 16:10 (eg 1920 x 1200) ← my current monitors
* 21:9 (eg 3440 x 1440 or UltraWide QHD+ 3840 × 1600)
* Most common monitor size is 27", but widescreen 34" and 38" are now more common.
* Super wide 48" screens are rare (and expensive)

Refresh rates (FPS)
* 60Hz for "productivity" monitors only
* 75Hz just about acceptable for occasional gaming
* 100Hz - 144Hz - 175Hz+ better for gaming (ideally with Nivdia GSync or AMD FreeSync)

Nothing bought yet! I might buy one of these:
