Hey guys I'm both new to this forum and Korean monitors in general so apologies in advance for my lack of knowledge. Anyways straight to the point, I'm about to go university and was thinking about purchasing a QHD monitor for the primary use of using it as a monitor for Macbook Pro 13" with Retina Display but also some gaming with my PS4 (Fifa 14). As I've mentioned I have next to nothing knowledge on what to look for in monitors, so I've tried to do some research and made a list of what I 'think' are necessities in the monitor I'm looking for, so correct me if I'm wrong at any stage.
- Budget of £300 (<$500)
- 27"-30"
- 2560x1440 Resolution
- New
- Compatible with my MBP 13" (Link for specs: https://www.apple.com/uk/macbook-pro/specs-retina/)
- Compatible with my PS4, so I assume the monitor will have to have an HDMI port and also I've also heard of a need for a monitor which has an inbuilt scaler and or OSD?
- 178 degree viewing angle
- </= 6ms response time
A few queries I have about what I should be looking for:
- Glossy or Matte screen? I'll only be using this monitor in my dorm room so don't see lighting being a major issue so I thought maybe I'd opt for a glossy screen
- What cables would I need to purchase alongside the monitor (if any) to hook it up with my MBP or PS4?
- Also would I be able to display my MBP on the monitor whilst using Bluetooth speakers (Bose Soundlink Mini to be specific)connected to my MBP?
If anyone has a clear monitor in mind would appreciate it if you could link me to a seller assuming:
- Its a guaranteed perfect pixel model
- Reputable seller
- Ships to the UK
- At least a 1 year warranty
Just to reiterate I'm not knowledgeable in this area by any means, so if anything I've said is incorrect or you could suggest something better to add feel free. Would appreciate any advice my way.
