1080p (FHD) — Fine for 24", budget gaming. 1440p (QHD) — Sweet spot for 27", great for work and gaming. 4K (UHD) — Best for 32"+, content creation, and productivity.
For gaming: 144Hz minimum, 240Hz ideal. For work: 60Hz is fine. Higher refresh = smoother motion and less eye strain.
IPS — Best colors and viewing angles. VA — Best contrast and blacks. OLED — Best everything, but expensive and burn-in risk.
