and $200 is also a difficult price to achieve any good quality.

You are right! I mentioned at the end that I was thinking to spend around $400 this time.

However, there are deals to be found, I suggest you focus on 4K only, and larger than 32 inches, the brands you chose are good.

Thanks! I ordered this one "used but basically new" for $500 now:

Lenovo ThinkVision P34w-20

Oh this one will look good! A month ago I was struggling with even basic code reading (double text) so I embarked in a quest for the crystal clear text feeling that we need for programming and settled on this one:

https://www.lg.com/us/monitors/lg-27gr93u-b-gaming-monitor

It’s 144 Hz, looks cool, text is sharp and it can be found for 400$ too I think, so if even the one you found ends up being meh in text I’d suggest you 27” @ 4k

Now there are a lot of parameters when it comes to choosing a monitor but the bare minimum would be IPS, 1ms-4ms of response (no ghosting) and for me at least 120hz but it’s because I got used to it and everything else looks tacky/laggy

i've had many multiple monitor setups over the years, one of them being 2x27@4k (with 2x24 on top) and I must say 2x27 is a great setup, highly suggested.

Should be pretty good! Great price for sure.
