Should i get a new monitor?

[madmessias]

Hey, atm i got a Philip 190G which is like 4years (prolly more) old, i got around 120 euro budget, do you think i could get a much better monitor for that price? Mine is abit small and it feels like quality should have been very improved since 4+years.

You can probably upgrade to some 22"+ monitor at 1920x1080, though I don't know the exact details of the Philips 190G. But why upgrade when your monitor works just fine? Mine is also about 3 years old and I'm happy with it.

Yea but its abit small and it just feels that it should have been a huuuge upgrade in those 4-5 years?

If you really want a upgrade, then save some more money, 120$ won't give you any real good upgrade, with a bit more you buy something that will make you a lot happier, have in consideration that increasing monitor size and resolution will impact your gpu performance has well.

Because you can! Bump up a size or two so you can get a higher resolution, and make sure it's LED.

EDIT: In response to sagan-man, I literally just bought the 24" version of this yesterday from Newegg.com ... I'd rate it 5 stars, absolutely fantastic!

and thanks prixie
