    Hey there dudes and dudettes, I have recently been getting more and more into web development and design, and started to use photoshop.

    My current monitor is old, makes buzzing noizes, and needs 2 restarts to turn on, the colors on it is also very bad, as it changes colors program to program(white looks yellowish in photoshop, blueish in chrome).

    So I need advice on getting a new one that is suited for photoshop work, mostly Web Design stuff, and for coding(Pivoting is a MUST).

    Preferably a monitor without very much antiglare(i want it glossy).

    Requirements:
    • 24" or larger
    • less than 500 USD
    • Must have pivot, height adjust is optional

    Ideas?

    I'd recommend LG 24MN33A 23.6", have a look on the pictures below:

    It costs around Rs. 21,500 in my country (Pakistan) which is equivalent to $217. Do some research on hardware sites too.

    Save up a buy one of them 28" 4K monitors by Asus or Acer or Samsung.
    4K is the future.
    You can buy a Samsung 4K monitor for around $650 including shipping from eBay South Korean sellers.

    I hate LG since CRTs and still don't trust it.
    Take some IPS, they are pretty cheap today

    The Dell one that kenzo22 recommended is a good one! If you can go with a 23 then you can probably get multiple ones for cheap off newegg or tigerdirect.
