· The first thing to consider when buying a monitor is the distance between the user and the monitor, i.e., the depth of your desk.
· It's important to choose a resolution that matches the screen size, which can vary depending on user experience.
· Based on these two criteria, we will introduce monitors by inch and provide information needed for selection.

· 24-inch monitors offer excellent cost-effectiveness and space efficiency, and are still a popular size.
· They are suitable for small desks with a depth of 60cm or less, and Full HD resolution is recommended.
· It's best to choose an IPS panel product, and you can get a good one for under 100,000 KRW.
· MSI monitors with no dead pixels are of good quality, but if you don't plan to use a monitor arm, they are a good choice as they lack VESA holes.
· Pixel-less IPS monitors are affordable and decent for office use.

· 27-inch is currently the best-selling "national size," with a wide range of products from ultra-cost-effective to professional-grade.
· It's suitable for desks with a depth of 60-70cm, and the choice of resolution depends on your intended use.
· For simple office tasks or watching videos, Full HD is sufficient, but for gaming or graphic design, QHD resolution is recommended.
· Full HD products can be purchased for around 100,000 KRW, and since there isn't a huge difference from 24-inch, 27-inch is highly preferred.
· Hansung 144Hz monitors and JuYeonTech 120Hz monitors are good cost-effective options.
· Crossover QHD monitors have a basic stand that supports pivot, making them great for vertical use and also suitable as a main monitor with excellent specs.

· For 32-inch monitors, considering only QHD resolution is sufficient, and it's great for utilizing the wide screen.
· It's suitable for desks with a depth of 70-80cm; it might feel a bit large for a 60cm desk.
· At 32 inches with QHD, the default 100% scaling makes text comfortably readable, making it the optimal size.
· Hansung QHD 100Hz monitors have been consistently recommended for their cost-effectiveness for the past 5 years, satisfying both specs and price.
· They have many advantages like an IPS panel, light weight, and VESA hole support, making them great for use with a monitor arm.

· 34-inch WQHD curved monitors offer a 21:9 aspect ratio, allowing for movie viewing without letterboxing.
· The curved design helps you focus on the wide screen, and VA panels are commonly used.
· While great for specific tasks like video editing, they are not mainstream for general users and are quite heavy.
· Their wide horizontal length makes them unsuitable for dual monitor setups; they can be a good choice as a single monitor.

· Concerns about after-sales service for small/medium business monitors like Hansung are often exaggerated. Given the low failure rate of electronics, it's hard to judge based on personal experience.
· Over a long period, there are incomparably more users, and personally, I don't think it's a level of concern.
· Samsung and LG monitors have the advantage of convenient after-sales service, but repair costs after the warranty period are similar.
· You can purchase a "no dead pixel" monitor for about 10,000 KRW extra, which is recommended for sensitive users.
· You can save 10,000 KRW by buying a product with potential dead pixels, but personally, I don't opt for the "no dead pixel" option.

· The appropriate resolution for a given screen size can be seen as the amount of information or detail displayed.
· At 32 inches, 4K resolution makes text too small to use effectively.
· 4K monitors are suitable for graphic design work where detail is crucial, but for general users, QHD is sufficient.
· 4K monitors are expensive and consume more power, so unless you're looking at 40-50 inches or larger, QHD resolution is recommended.

· Built-in monitor speakers are generally poor quality, so external speakers are recommended.
· Refresh rate is only a concern for gamers; 60-100Hz is sufficient for general office use.
· You should always check for VESA mount compatibility, as you might need it later.
· It's also good to check for DP port support.
· The "no dead pixel" option costs about 10,000 KRW more, but it's worth the investment if you're sensitive to pixel defects.
· You can save 10,000 KRW by buying a product with potential dead pixels, but personally, I don't choose the "no dead pixel" option.

· While 24-inch monitors are good, the satisfaction from a larger screen cannot be ignored.
· A 32-inch QHD monitor offers immense satisfaction due to its size, and the price is reasonable at under 200,000 KRW.
· It might be overwhelming if your desk is small, but once you get used to the size, a 32-inch QHD is the best choice.
· I hope this guide helps you with your monitor purchase.
