    So, it’s 2019 and displays have come a long way and I’ve been looking at a lot of posts lately about monitors used.

    My hope is to create a MM of my own and I prefer about 24 or so for display (without my wallet being empty afterwards).
    What do I need to look for? IPS, VA?

    If you have any specific suggestions for a somewhat budget monitor that will do the job I’d be a happy man :)

      Hi! I’ve made my MM project with a second-hand 24" LG LCD TV and it looks great. I’ve spent less than 100 € last year.

      Hope it helps you.

      If you want to take a look of it:

        I’m running on a $80 black friday deal Acer monitor. IPS would give you a wider view of the monitor, but where mine is located I’m looking at it pretty straight on. I’m building a full frame to go around mine, so just leaving the plastic housing on it, but I know a lot of folks like to remove the plastic to slim it down.

        I spent a little more on a new case for the pi as it was running pretty warm, I went with a full heat sink aluminum case (https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B07D3S1WBP) which has helped a lot.

          Damm even I am having a similar kind of issue, I have searched all over the internet and even have posted on number of threads on different forum, no solution seems to work. I am really frustrated, can anyone of you here help me resolve this issue, I am very much tired now.
