I have 2 computers:

- Desktop with NVidia 3070Ti, Windows
- Laptop with AMD 600M integrated, Linux

I'd like to get a new monitor that supports both VRR (Gsync/Freesync) and HDR on both these machines (or if I can't support both with 1 monitor, the Desktop).

Price matters to me but "quality" kinda doesn't (my eyesight sucks & I prefer 1080p over hidpi, hidpi is glitchy). I just want HDR/VRR and for it to not be terrible.

What would you recommend, or where would you recommend I start looking?

Hey uh maybe silly question, wanting to assert reality. If an "E-COMMERCE" site says that a monitor is "25 inches", that means 25 inches upper left corner to bottom right corner, not 25 inches wide, right?

@mcc@mastodon.social It’s usually within one inch of the actual diagonal measurement of the active area of the panel (typically excludes the bezel). Manufacturers usually round up, so 24.2” actual active diagonal may be marketed as 25”.

If you look up the monitor model, you can generally get the exterior dimensions from the manufacturer.

often frowned upon

@mcc@mastodon.social uhh yes i don't remember that number referring to anything but the diagonal ever.

But I don't remember that number ever being 25 either so blobcatthinking

@virtulis@loud.computer @mcc@mastodon.social I've seen some 25β€³ 16:10 monitors from Iiyama. They were slightly larger than 24β€³ 16:10 monitors.
