Hello everyone,

I am a new PC user and I need some advice on choosing a monitor for my mini PC. The mini PC I have selected is the Beelink SER6, which fits my budget.

For the monitor, I am considering the KTC 24" 165Hz Gaming Monitor. It features FHD (1920x1080p) resolution, a 1ms response time, and is compatible with FreeSync and G-Sync. It also includes MPRT, HDR10, 125% sRGB, HDMI 2.0, DP 1.4, headphone support, eye care technology, VESA support, tilt functionality, and a fast IPS panel.

I found it on Amazon, but living in the UAE, it can be challenging to find good budget monitors here.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Well, for starters, you need to determine your needs, wants and budget. Your example is a 24" monitor. Is that the size you want? I note (at least here on the Amazon US site) there 5 different KTC 24" monitors all for under $100. So you need to be more specific as to which one you are considering.

Also, what is your budget? I know nothing about KTC but I do know that under $100 for a 24" monitor is not a lot. So I would not expect state-of-the-art performance.

And last, what will you be using this monitor for? General computer tasks? Watching YouTube videos? Serious gaming with the latest games?
